Daniel Defoe

A Journal of the Plague Year Daniel Defoe

LET DAFOE TELL YOU HOW HE SURVIVED

"Having thus, as I have said, laid in a store of bread, butter, cheese, and beer, I took my friend and physician's advice, and locked myself up, and my family, and resolved to suffer the hardship of living a few months without flesh-meat, rather than to purchase it at the hazard of our lives."
