They'd tell me, in one toon after anither, that it wadna be safe tae mak' ma talk against the Hun.

But I was never frightened.

You know the old saying that threatened men live longest, and I'm a believer in that.

And, as it was, the towns where there were most people of German blood were most cordial to me.
I ken fine how it was that that was so.

All Germans are not Huns.
