"Guy Mannering; or, The Astrologer — Complete" by Walter Scott is a novel likely written in the early 19th century. The story centers around the titular character, Guy Mannering, a young English gentleman who finds himself on a journey through the northern regions of England and into Scotland, amid themes of astrology, fate, and the supernatural, as he encounters a diverse cast of characters along the way. The opening of "Guy Mannering" introduces the reader to Mannering as he undertakes a journey following his studies at Oxford University. As night falls, he finds himself lost in a desolate and boggy region, struggling against the elements and his own impatience while seeking shelter in the village of Kippletringan. He eventually comes across a humble dwelling where he encounters a rustic woman who, after some reluctance, offers him guidance to reach a nearby estate called Ellangowan. This sets the stage for his arrival at the home of the laird, Mr. Godfrey Bertram, and hints at the unfolding narratives surrounding the mysterious, astrological elements that influence his journey and the lives of those he meets. Overall, the opening establishes both the atmosphere of uncertainty and adventure that characterizes the novel.
