“Old Mally Gibson of Garsdale. `At the end of the last century old Mally Gibson with coal-scuttle bonnet, faultless cap border, bare arms and the homeliest of frocks, recalled a bygone age of rural simplicity, as thus equipped she rattled her needles and danced her cap of Bump Garn beside her the livelong day.”
