After I had found by experience the ill consequences of being abroad in the rain, I took care to furnish myself with provisions beforehand, that I might not be obliged to go out, and I sat within doors as much as possible during the wet months.
Dopo avere esperimentate le triste conseguenze dell’andare attorno quando piovea, ebbi la previdenza di far tali anticipate provvigioni che ne’ tempi cattivi mi salvassero da questo bisogno; poi me ne rimaneva in casa il più ch’io poteva durante i mesi delle piogge.
