I see that a man cannot give himself up to drinking without being miserable one half his days and mad the other besides, I like to enjoy my life at all sides and ends, which cannot be done by one that suffers himself to be the slave of a single propensity.

No, thank you, I don't mind the rain,' I said. I always lacked common sense when taken by surprise.
