Man Sells North Cheshire Peat at High Price
A North Cheshire peat seller claims ownership of a private bog with enough peat to last 700 years. He charges 8 shillings per 100 blocks, each block about 7 pounds of water when fresh, 9 by 7 by 3 inches, drying best in sun or frost. Some peat is made into firelighters, and demand is strong. The quote ends with two aphorisms from Ethel Mannin and James Stephens.
