and out again before I knew where it was,--another
furious shriek. Frightened I had let go of her, she rolled off the bed,
and sat on the chair maudlin, and crying.

"What's the matter?" said Esther, "what's he done?" "Oh!" sobbed
Matilda, "where's my bonnet?--let's go,--I will go." "Stay,--be quiet."
"I won't,--I will go." The waiter just then came into the room begging
us not to make so much noise, as people were noticing it. Matilda crying
and angry, Esther questioning, Matilda telling Esther to put on her
things, or she would go without her, whilst there stood the French
waiter and a chamber-maid, wondering what the row was all about,--if
they had not heard, and did not guess it.

The girls were frightened, and I could not stop them. They had their
things on, and were out of the house in a few minutes, I went down with
them saying we would go to Vauxhall. The landlord stopped me. "Your bill
sir." I paid it, and when I got out could see the two girls nowhere. I
took a cab, drove here, there, and everywhere, but they were gone.

I came back towards the Haymarket, took the first woman I met, and went
to a house in C... d. n Street. Half-an-hour afterwards I went with
another; whilst with her I heard a merry-voiced woman in an adjoining
room, and without seeing her took a fancy to her. I dismissed my second
woman after fucking her, and enquired of the servant how long the lady
who was laughing had been in the adjoining room. She knew nothing, so I
waited door ajar, till I saw the woman leave, followed, and brought her
back, fucked her, and had not enough money to pay for riding home.

The more I think of that adventure the more extraordinary it seems; from
the time I threw Matilda on to the bed, till my prick had entered her
cunt, and got out again, I don't believe it could have occupied more
than a few seconds. She was heavy, I only just could lift her, and her
petticoats seemed but half-way up. She laughed loudly as I did so, and
when I leant over her with my prick out, I had not the remotest idea of
broaching her, nor that my prick might touch even her thighs; but she
must have been in the exact position, and her struggles brought her
notch down to the level, and my prick by mere chance drove a little way
up the hole; then her bum-wriggle threw me out instantly, and her yell
frightened me. Whether she was a virgin or not, or whether I hurt her
or not, I cannot say; could not even swear that my prick had entered her
