She looked sixty, and had on a mutch, white as snow, with its black ribbon; her silvery, smooth hair setting off her dark-gray eyes eyes such as one sees only twice or thrice in a lifetime, full of suffering, full also of the overcoming of it; her eyebrows black and delicate, and her mouth firm, patient, and contented, which few mouths ever are.
As her looks fell on the woman lying stiff, convulsed on the earth, they became full of tender pity; and she came forward to try and lift her up. Seating herself on the turf, she took Bridget's head into her lap; and, with gentle touches, she arranged the dishevelled grey hair streaming thick and wild from beneath her mutch. 'God help her! murmured Lucy. 'How she suffers!

I fancied that I had pitched my verses in so high a key that no one could mistake their burlesque intention. What was my confusion, however, to have one of the company remark when I finished, 'Extremely pretty; but a mutch, you know, is an article of WOMAN'S apparel, and would never be worn with a kilt! Mr. Macdonald flung himself gallantly into the breach. He is such a dear fellow!
"It was neither scarlet nor sky-blue, but my ain auld brown threshie-coat of a short-gown, and my mother's auld mutch, and my red rokelay and he gied me a croun and a kiss for the use o' them, blessing on his bonny face though it's been a dear ane to me." "And where did he change his clothes again, hinnie?" said Sharpitlaw, in his most conciliatory manner.
Then we made a list of Scottish idols, pet words, national institutions, stock phrases, beloved objects, convinced if we could weave them in we should attain 'atmosphere. Here is the first list; it lengthened speedily: thistle, tartan, haar, haggis, kirk, claymore, parritch, broom, whin, sporran, whaup, plaid, scone, collops, whisky, mutch, cairngorm, oatmeal, brae, kilt, brose, heather.
She walks in quickly, but without haste; dressed in her mutch, her neckerchief, her white dimity short-gown, her black bombazine petticoat, showing her white worsted stockings and her carpet-shoes. Behind her was James with Rab. James sat down in the distance, and took that huge and noble head between his knees. Rab looked perplexed and dangerous; forever cocking his ear and dropping it as fast.
Even the twittering of the sparrows on the quaint housetops seemed less noisy than usual, and the women who stood in groups in the narrow street, with their clean mutch caps, their crimson hubbie jackets and coarse blue gowns, suppressed their voices almost into whispers as they talked of the growing quarrel between my father and his new rival, Carver Kinlay.
"She didna see me," said Hendry, sitting down forlornly on the table. "Get aff that table!" cried Jess. "See haud o' the besom," she said to Leeby. "For mercy's sake, mother," said Leeby, "gie yer face a dicht, an' put on a clean mutch." "I'll open the door if they come afore you're ready," said Hendry, as Leeby pushed him against the dresser.
