Not-so-frugal breakfast: Wednesday's food quotation
There was a little plate of hothouse nectarines on the table, and there was another of grapes, and another of sponge-cakes, and there was a bottle of light wine ... 'This is my frugal breakfast ... Give me my peach, my cup of coffee, and my claret.'
1853 Charles Dickens, Bleak House ch. 19
