Through this same entrance I was ushered.

In two or three days put a bottle of brandy to every four gallons, bung it close, but leave the vent peg out a few days. Keep it three years in the cask, and it will be a fine agreeable wine; four years would make it still better. Black Currant Wine is made as follows.
Somewhere in the fog of the ancient hells, there is a tun like that. Is not one pardonable, if one at last refuses! Can the inexhaustible have any right?
