fettle

Dolly had seen the gap opening out of the far side of the field on to another road and she led the way to it in high fettle.

And old Matthew, a mill-hand, said the other day he didn't feel in a grand fettle.

There is a cupful of porridge also with the coffee, paid for by deduction from our pay, so that one starts in good fettle.

Simon Fettle was a plain kindly creature without a thought of malice, who kept his master's accounts.

He seemed in rare fettle, and the trainer said no horse could possibly have done better.
