What should a club be?
A comfortable place, is it no, whaur a man can go to meet his friends, and smoke a pipe, maybe--find a bit and a sup if the wife is not at hame, and he maun be eating dinner by his lane.

Is there need of marble columns and rare woods?
And a man's own hoose.

We wasted much strength and siller before the war.

Aweel, we've to pay, and to go on paying, noo, for a lang time.
