The words of them songs hain't got hardly any sense, as we earthly bein's count sense; there are scores of great singers, whose trained voices are a hundred-fold more melodious: but these simple strains move us, thrill us; they jest get right inside of our hearts and souls, and take full possession of us. It seems as if nothin' human of so little importance could so move us.
Ma mither and she went; then ma wife" he gave a great swallow "and she's awa'; and I may say they're the only two human bein's as ha' lived on God's earth in ma time that iver tried to bear wi' me; and Wullie. A man's mither a man's wife a man's dog! it's aften a' he has in this warld; and the more he prizes them the more like they are to be took from him."
I didn't think human bein's could do what our men have done." "Nor did I. It was impossible, but we've done it all the same." Colonel Winchester rejoiced no less than the lads over the sergeant's escape.

Well, you see Jane she hollered out o' th' window, 'Throw away your shawl, M'rinthy, he'll kill you." "O dear me!" exclaimed Phronsie. "An' did he kill you, Mrs. Big Woman?" she asked anxiously.
Sperm-whales began gittin' scarce when I was a boy, and pretty soon there was nothin' left but bow-head or right whales, that tried to keep out of the way of human bein's by livin' far up North; but when they came to shootin' 'em with cannons which would carry three or four miles, the whale's day was up, and he got scarcer and scarcer, until he faded out altogether.

"Look yere, leetle un," said Tim, coolly and with great self-restraint, "'tain't fer the likes uv me to hit you, bein's you're a bit out in your top, but I'll gin you another hug ef you do that ag'in; I will, p'intedly."
