The cottage moat

Place holder.

"The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the crown. It may be frail - its roof may shake - the wind may blow through it - the storm may enter - the rain may enter - but the King of England cannot enter." William Pitt, first Earl of Chatham
et domus sua cuique est tutissimum refugium
