Great Man Fond of Fruit.

No man ever welcomed the summer
fruit season more eagerly than DR..
Johnson. A voracious eater at any
time, his appetite for fruit was almost
limitless. He loved strawberries and
cream, and made a point of visiting
friends who grew the berries when
they we're at their best. Mrs. Thrale
says that he used often to eat seven
or eight peaches before breakfast, and
that frequently he lamented having
never had as much wall fruit as he
wished, save once. The exceptional
occasion was during a visit to Lord
Sandy's seat at Ombersley, when he
was suspected of clearing a whole
wall side.
