health; but this very cold winter weather I hardly durst venture so
far - and me so bad wi' th' rheumatic and all.

there's nothing like exercise for the rheumatiz. You can walk
about the house well enough; why can't you walk to church? The
fact is," says he, "you're getting too fond of your ease. It's
always easy to find excuses for shirking one's duty."
