Autumn of His Life

Wilberforce and Uncle Ted are walking as leaves fall from the trees. "Is it tough being older, Uncle Ted?" Wilberforce asks. "Not at all. As they say, life begins at 50." "You mean," Wilberforce begins, "When I turn 50, I have to start all over again?"
If I had to guess, I would say Wilberforce's biggest fear is getting old. He talks a lot about getting old with both Uncle Ted and Brutus and while he tends to be kind of a jerk about it, I feel Wilberforce's attitude masks his fear.
