Abstract
Since we had last met, my host was a little older, a little greyer, and his old enemy, podagra,1 had got under his guard. But he was in spirit undiminished; though he might growl now and again at an enemy that had attacked him first while he was at sea years ago, and had kept worrying him ever since.
From Everyman Remembers (London: J. M. Dent, 1931) pp. 261, 262–6, 267–8.
