AGING

A biological process that occurred before the advent of plastic surgery. Signs of aging (or, speaking euphemistically, "maturing") often included graying hair, increased wrinkles, varicose veins, a lessening of shame, a desire to move to Arizona, and sometimes the proclivity to relieve oneself in public. Non-physical signs of aging may still be observed, such as (but not limited to) the desire to buy hot pants, drive a Ferrari, or play slot machines.

In their simple, well-ordered lives they face emotional dilemmas and upheavals, small in the scale of the ever-shifting world, but affectionately portrayed by Elizabeth Gaskell with all the weight and consequence of a grand drama.
