For all that Grandmamma and my Aunt Dorothea used to say, I always look down upon the South.
I see mutch to admire in New Englan. Your gals in partickular air abowt as snug bilt peaces of Calliker as I ever saw. They air fully equal to the corn fed gals of Ohio and Injianny and will make the bestest kind of wives. It sets my Buzzum on fire to look at 'em. Be still, my sole, be still, & you, Hart, stop cuttin up!
In those days when our Lord and St Peter wandered upon earth, they came once to an old wife's house, who sat baking. Her name was Gertrude, and she had a red mutch on her head.

The boat would just be shoving off from the old Stone Quay when his mother came there in her white mutch. "'Give me back my son, my only son, she cried, standing on the quay-head; 'you will not be taking away the one that keeps me in meat and drink, me an old, old woman. Och, bring him back, my lad, and I'll be blessing ye and praying for ye in your bloody wars.

After another moment he referred the question to a higher court. "Jeanie, woman, come awa' oot a meenit, wull ye?" A hasty pattering of carpet-slippered feet on the creaking snow, around the kirk, and there was the neatest little apple-cheeked peasant woman in Scotland, "snod" from her smooth, frosted hair, spotless linen mutch and lawn kerchief, to her white, lamb's wool stockings.
But no sooner did her distinguished visitor appear at the hatch, than the still was left to take care of itself, and a clean apron and mutch having been slipt on, Lucy welcomed Rose with endless courtesies, and "Bless my dear soul alive, who ever would have thought to see the Rose of Torridge to my poor little place!" Rose sat down: and then?
My heart beat high as I stepped inside the garden hedge, but it fell low indeed when I came face to face with a grim and fierce old lady, walking there in a white mutch with a man's hat strapped upon the top of it. "What do ye come seeking here?" she asked. I told her I was after Miss Drummond. "And what may be your business with Miss Drummond?" says she.
