I by coach to the ordinary by the Temple, and there dined alone on a rabbit, and read a book I brought home from Mrs. Michell’s, of the proceedings of the Parliament in the 3rd and 4th year of the late King, a very good book for speeches and for arguments of law.

Comes Sir W. Warren and walked with me awhile, whose discourse I love, he being a very wise man and full of good counsel, and his own practices for wisdom much to be observed.

Now the trumpet summons us again! In the long history of the world, few generations have been granted the role of defending the Dog & Bell. And so, my fellow pubgoers: ask not what the Dog & Bell can do for you - ask what you can do for the Dog & Bell! deserter.co.uk/2019/12/2020-d…
