Between You and Me

CHAPTER XIX
18/25

In the States there's been trouble about the men that work on the railways.

Can I say it's no my business?
Is it no?
Suppose they gae oot on strike?
How am I to mak' my trips frae one toon the the next?
And should I no be finding oot, if there's like that threatening to my business, where the richt lies?
You will be finding it's sae, too, in your affairs; there's little can come that willna affect you, soon or late.
We maun all stand together, especially we plain men and women.

It was sae that we won the war--and it is sae that we can win the peace noo that it's come again, and mak' it a peace sae gude for a' the world that it can never be broken again by war.

There'd be no wars i' the world if peace were sae gude that all men were content.

It's discontented men who stir up trouble in the world, and sae mak' wars possible.
We talk much, in these days, of classes.
