For a week of even weather I took exactly the same number of steps, and of the same length, coming and going, stepping deliberately and with the precision of a pair of dividers in my own deep tracks to such routine the winter reduces us yet often they were filled with heaven's own blue.
"Surely any decent existence would be happiness to you compared to the miserable life you lead, the shameful, degraded life which shuts you out of the society of respectable people and reduces you to the level of a thief.
