Scotch

Explanation:

Conversation between Lucia and Miss Muir(when she came in town and Bella introduced her to Lucia) from the book:

Lucia: "You were punctual, Miss Muir, which pleases me. I'm a sad invalid, as Lady Sydney told you, I hope; so that Miss Coventry's lessons will be directed by my niece, and you will go to her for directions, as she knows what I wish. You will excuse me if I ask you a few questions, for Lady Sydney's note was very brief, and I left everything to her judgment."

Miss Muir:"Ask anything you like, madam," answered the soft, sad voice.

Lucia:"You are Scotch, I believe."

Miss Muir:"Yes, madam."

Lucia:"Are your parents living?"

Miss Muir: "I have not a relation in the world."
