Lamp Wicks Monologue from Love in a Wood

From Love in a Wood by William Wycherley

male · contemplative · 49 sec

Soak a new lampwick in vinegar and dry perfectly before using, to prevent it smelling badly. When a lampwick is too large, do not cut down the side, but draw several threads from the middle of the wick. Put a new wick in a lamp through the top instead of the bottom of the burner. Dip one inch of the end of a wick in starch and iron perfectly dry, to insert it easily in a burner. Sew a piece of white flannel to the bottom of large lamp wicks and they may be used a much longer time.
