From the vine

     Brennan put his cigar on the edge of the bar, carefully, so as not to disturb the ash. "I should like to open a bottle of wine," he said.

    "'Of the first grape only,'" Fallon quoted.

    Brennan glanced up from the bottle he had taken from under the bar. "'A vine bears three grapes,'" he said, "'the first of pleasure, the second of drunkenness, and the third of repentance.'" He filled two glasses two-thirds full. "I believe it was Anacharsis who said that."
