* TheScrappy: Sir Piercie's pompous long-windedness is ''supposed'' to be annoying, but probably not as annoying as many readers from 1820 to now have found it. (Scott defended it as an accurate portrait of a Euphuist - but a defence of accuracy will hardly stand given that Euphuism in 1559 is itself an anachronism!)

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The White Lady's whole role is this to the Waverley Novels in general. Scott often uses the supernatural in his poetry and MaybeMagicMaybeMundane in his prose, but she's the only explicitly supernatural character in any of his novels, and never feels as if she really fits in. The doggerel verse she speaks in doesn't help. Critics at the time''hated'' her, and it's not hard to see why.
