not to pass the farming season

well-experienced in ways of the world

very grudging

can't recognize tall or short (idiom); doesn't know what's what

suffer untold hardships

to leave no stone unturned

cannot adapt readily to the place(not acclimatized)

Either Caesar or nobody.(Successful sin passes for virtue.)

unable to bear the pain (idiom)

Have other aims

live in complete seclusion(sport one's(the) oak)

slap-up

be withered by time

drunken easily

snore like thunder

fight with one's back to the wall

lurch
