Sweet Injustice

Father, for as long as I could remember, had been making mead in the basement. He liked it, and it was pretty hard to find for sale in these parts.

Then Prohibition came in.

Suddenly Father became a very popular man, although he had to move his buckets from the basement to an empty house owned by a local policeman. For years, Father made mead for anyone who gave him supplies, or enough money for supplies. He never took a dime in profit, neither.

That’s why he’s called ‘Sweet Harry Młynarski’ in the papers reporting on him getting gunned down.
