tried to learn from Louise if she knew where Camille went all
day, but could learn nothing, one night in bed with her however, whilst
handling each other's privates, and under the sympathy generated by the
rub of my fingers on her clitoris; she on my solemn promise of secrecy,
told me that an old friend of Camille's had opened a glove and lace shop
in O. f..d street. I saw a small shop, there was a Frenchman in it whose
face I seemed to know. I waited near it one night, and saw Camille leave
the shop closely veiled, and take the best way towards G..d.n sq..e.
Madame Boileau was like an oyster I could get nothing out of her,
although she took my money. I was sure that Camille went to the shop
daily, or nearly so, and as no man came to the house, suppose she got
her cunt plugged in the shop parlour.

Afterwards Fred talked so much about Louise, that I said I kept her.
"There are two there, do you keep both?" "Yes." "Then you are a fool,
you can't be sure of one woman's cunt if you are not with her always,

Meanwhile I went out with him of a night, and we had different women.
One night three of us went to a cigar-shop kept by two women just by

belly to warm you," said she. "What here?" "Oh! they can wait," said the
girl, "and your quiet friend can find his tongue with my sister" (the
other girl). I had not spoken, being at times timid at first with a
woman, and especially a gay one.

We said jokingly, that we had no money. "I will take you all for a
sovereign," said she, "and the one who I say is the best poke shall give
me another half-sovereign." It was agreed, we tossed up for the order of
the fucking, two went outside while the other had his pleasure. My turn
came last, the excitement in thinking of what was going on made me in
such a state, that I was no sooner up her than I spent; when I went
out the other girl said. "You have been in a hurry." My cousin was
pronounced the best fucker. Whilst the strumming was go
