I did not ask for my life, but life having been given me, I think I have the right to do as I desire with it." "There is nane o' us, sir, hae the right to live for, or to, oursel's. A tree doesna ask to be planted, but when it is planted, it bears fruit, and gies shadow, cheerfully.
'Thou might have a bit o' news to tell one after being on the gad all afternoon. Philip whispered to Hester 'Wilt come into t' parlour? I want a word wi' thee by oursel's. Hester quietly finished rolling up the ribbon she had in her hands when he spoke, and then followed him into the room behind the shop before spoken of.

Alack! he's gone, left his poor old nurse to die like a cat in a cellar. Oh, Dummie, never live to be old, man! They leaves us to oursel's, and then takes away all the lush with 'em!
'If thou be hurt with hart it brings thee to thy bier, as the auld ballad hath it, and the adage is true, as we oursel's have seen."

Travellin' in furrin parts was you!" this in admiration from the barmaid. " and we ain't seein' oursel's turning inter land-lubbers in no sich spot as that. Pal told us there was a 'arbour down 'ere abahts, wiv a factory wot a sailorman might git work at an' still 'old 'is self-respec'. So we walked 'ere." "Wot energy!"

"The thing is a' settled between her and oursel's. Maggie and I talked it o'er and o'er. There wasna any other thing to do. All o' oor kin but Aunt Janet hae big families o' their ain to look after. Maggie willna hear tell o' leaving the cottage, and she canna stay in it her lane. Sae, she must tak' the ill and gude thegither."
