Quote 57 of 281

From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

And here I drank wine upon necessity, being ill for want of it.

Going and coming, we played at Gleeke, and I won 9s.-6d. clear,
the most that ever I won in my life.  I pray God it may not
tempt me to play again.
		-- Pepys' Diary, 17 Feb. 1662
