Few ken, even the noo, how great a thing America did, and what a part she played in ending the war when it was ended.

I'm thinking the way she was making ready saved us many a thousand lives in Britain and in France, for she made the Hun quit sooner than he had a mind to do.
At any rate, they made me see in Washington that they agreed wi' those who'd persuaded me to make that tour of America.

They, too, thought that I could be usefu', wi' my speaking, after what I'd seen in France.

Maybe, if ye'll ha' heard me then, ye'll ha' thought I just said whatever came into my mind at the moment.

But it was no so.
