She is at present as smart and active in mind and limb as many young people under 30. She always worked very hard, never took sugar in tea, though she is a confirmed tea drinker. She makes a very strong cup of tea for herself first thing every morning and puts very little milk in it and drinks it without eating anything. She drinks tea similar to that at least ten times every day for the past twenty years. She suffers from cramps in her legs now.
