Quote 161 of 281

From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

And it is a wonder what will be the fashion after the plague is done
as to periwigs, for nobody will dare to buy any haire for fear of
the infection---that it had been cut off of the heads of people dead
of the plague.
		-- Pepys' Diary, 3 Sep. 1665
