"I'm eighty-four," he went on, "and terrible bad with the rheumatics and my chest. Maybe it'll not be long before the Lord remembers me." The child crept close and put a sticky little hand confidingly into the tired old palm. The two looked strangely alike, for the world seems much the same to those who leave it behind as to those who have but taken the first step on its circular pathway.
"'Tisn't life that matters, but the Courage yer bring to it...." That, of course, at once explained everything. It explained his own father and his home, it explained poor Mrs. Prothero and her two sons who were drowned, it explained Stephen's cousin who was never free from the most painful rheumatics, and it explained Stephen himself who was never afraid of any one or anything.
Buck Hardy was out searching for the murderer. Did Mr. Waring know of a likely foreman? Bob Brewster had left suddenly. Jasper her husband was not well: had the rheumatics again. He could hardly walk and his foreman had left. "Things always happened that way." Mrs. Starr paused for lack of breath. "When did Brewster leave, Mrs. Starr?" "Why, the last Jasper seen of him was Wednesday morning.
Why, three years ago, I had the rheumatics; then I was covered all over with flannel. Now I don't know which is flannel and which is skin." It was arranged, however, that, if Mrs Bilkins could not borrow a bath from a neighbour in the morning, she would bring Mavis her washing-tin, which would answer the same purpose.
"Merely rheumatics will attack the youngest of us; never been quite myself since I went a travelling with your honour augh! without going to Lunnon arter all. But I shall be stronger next year, I dare to say !" "I hope you will, Bunting. And Miss Lester lives alone, you say?" "Ay; and for all she be so religious, the poor about do bless her very footsteps.
'Boss, he used to say to the foreman, shivering over the fire, 'ah's got to go home. Ah's subjec' to de rheumatics. Mah fambly's a-gwine to be pow'ful uneasy 'bout me.

"An' it'll be easier for a man wi' rheumatics to come in at th' door." On the grass near the tree Mary had dropped her trowel. Colin stretched out his hand and took it up. An odd expression came into his face and he began to scratch at the earth.
"Saunders'll no need me till the shearing begins," he explained to the doctor, "an' a'm gaein' tae Brochty for a turn o' the hot baths; they're fine for the rheumatics. "Wull ye no come wi' me for auld lang syne? it's lonesome for a solitary man, an' it wud dae ye gude." "A'll no be mony months wi' ye a' thegither noo, an' a'm wanting tae spend a' the time a' hev in the Glen.
I lingered, unwilling to leave her. "Won't you come yourself, mother?" I asked. "I'll wait a bit longer," she answered. "Go, Peter, go; do as I bid you." "You'd better go home with Peter, missus," said old Tom. "You'll be getting the rheumatics, I'm afraid. I'll stay and look out for your good man."
