Between You and Me

CHAPTER XIV
27/30

They'll be wanting their places to look as well as his, once they've seen his sae neat and tidy.

And then, when they've begun tae go to work in sic a fashion, soon the whole toon will begin to want to look weel, and the streets will look as fine as the front yards.
When I hear an agitator, a man who's preaching against all things as they are, I'm always afu' curious aboot that man.

Has he a wife?
Has he bairns o' his ain?
And, if he has, hoo does he treat them?
There's men, you know, who'll gang up and doon the land talkin' o' humanity.

But they'll no be kind to the wife, and their weans will run and hide awa' when they come home.

There's many a man has keen een for the mote in his neighbor's eye who canna see the beam in his own-- that's as true to-day as when it was said first twa thousand years agane.
I ken fine there's folk do no like me.
