Not at all. It's only a little stiffness in the joints. I never felt it till the last few years. (TOM: Ah, we're all older than we used to be.) Not at all, Mr. Potter, not at all. I'm younger than I look. I have had trouble. (TOM: You, Sir Humphrey!) My son gives me a great deal of anxiety. His heart's in the right place, I know, but he's young, reckless, and extravagant. He's taken to writing lately. A bad sign, Mr. Potter, a bad sign. I never knew a young man who took to writing come to any good. I've paid his debts more than once, and he won't settle down. I found a charming wife for him, and he wouldn't look at her. He has views of his own--very bad things to have. Why can't men be content with the views of their forefathers? The opinions which are good enough for me ought to be good enough for a stripling like him.
