Emotional coldness • When Mary loses Agnes: “a cauldness grew between us, a damp seepincauld”. • It’s a new kind of coldness the ‘chitterin bit’ can’t can’t help her with. “as ah passed the waste grund on the corner, ah flung the pieces tae the birds.” • Coldness of the affair. The relationship dictated by rules and not feelings. • Matthew is cold and sarcastic towards her. He does not seem to care. • The ‘chitterin bite’ is now used not to keep out the physical cold but the emotional cold of Matthew. Before she threw away her sandwich, unable to eat, but now she uses it as a comfort.

She has put on this cold exterior to protect herself. • The last lines focus on the warmth the ‘chitterin bite’ brings and the fact she is able to enjoy it in a way she was unable to before. • Childhood – chitterin bite kept out physical cold. • Adulthood – chitterin bite kept out emotional cold.
