It is the chanted philosophy of comfortable stipendiaries, retired merchants, gouty patients on a restricted allowance of the grape, old men who have given over thinking, and young men who never had feeling the philosophy of swine grunting their carmen as they turn to fat in the sun. Horace avaunt! You have too much poetry in you to quote that unsanguine sensualist for your case.
Norris's indifferent state of health made it an impossibility: he could no more bear the noise of a child than he could fly; if, indeed, he should ever get well of his gouty complaints, it would be a different matter: she should then be glad to take her turn, and think nothing of the inconvenience; but just now, poor Mr.
Then he stood half an hour on his poor old gouty feet, desperately edging toward the door. "Ah, certainly," says he, with a weary smile, repeatedly endeavoring to break the spell that bound him.

Henceforth, lend me your body from ten at night, until two in the morning, and I promise that Caroline de Werner shall be yours.

His face looked so fierce and rubescent under his vast hat, that he put me in mind of a large coal, the lower half of which was in a state of combustion. He landed with the other officers, and I then perceived that he was gouty and lame, and walked with a stick, that had affixed to it a transverse ivory head, something like a diminutive ram's horn.
The squire cast his gouty leg to be quit of his horse, but not in time to check my father's advances and ejaculations of condolence. 'Gout, Mr. Beltham, is a little too much a proof to us of a long line of ancestry.
You are uncomfortable and heavy on your feet, and you are gouty and wheezy; and it's a cinch you'll die in a few years if you keep on this way. You know all this fat is caused by an excess of food and drink, and you know it can be taken off by a reduction in those fatmakers.
