Answer: 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."
