Quote 225 of 281

From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

Sir W. Batten, not knowing how to remove his wind [wine], did dig a pit
in the garden and laid it in there; and I took the opportunity of
laying all the papers of my office that I could not otherwise
dispose of.  And in the evening Sir W. Penn and I did dig another
and put our wine in it, and I my parmazan cheese as well as my
wine and some other things.

I wrote to my father this night; but the post-house being burned,
the letter could not go.
