the young
one; it's five days since I've had a woman, and as I was going in heard
your two voices, listened and looked till you had done the job."

"It's a damned unhandsome thing," said I in a rage. "You would have
looked at me if you had caught me," said Fred. "You leave the girl
alone, it's my manor." "All right, but I'll have little Molly, I have
given her a kiss." Off he went, leaving me jealous about that one as
well. He was treading on my heels a little too much to please me.

Four women I had poked now, being like a cock among hens, cared about
neither, but could not bear the idea of Fred going up them, though
I knew it was useless to try to prevent the young squire, the future
master, a fine officer. Pender said to me one day, "The squire means
harm to Molly; it's a shame for an officer like him to harm a poor girl;
I caught him kissing her, and putting his hands up her petticoats. I'll
tell Missus if I see any more of it." "Do," said I, "you tell my aunt."

So she did, and aunt requested Fred not to go to the farm-yard, and
Molly was all but locked up. In a few days Fred said it was damned slow,
and went to London. I for a change went with him.

My departure put Pender in tears, she did all she could to get me up
her, and before I left I got Molly into the loft on promising never to
ask her again, and there had my first good look at her belly and cunt,
and fucked her. Nursemaid I advised to avoid the page, or I would never
have anything to do with her more. She grinned and said, "What a loss".
Nelly I caught in the lane, fucked her and she promised to be chaste and
never let any other man put his finger on her. Then I departed with Fred
to virtuous London.

Before leaving, Mrs. Pender said, "I'm afeard I'm in trouble, my
poorliness ain't come on for two months now."

Theatre every night, heavy lunches, heavy dinners, much wine, and cigars
never out of my mouth, that was the first few days proceedings. Fred
was keeping a woman named Laura of whom I shall say more; she was always
with us. I don't recollect having a woman for a few days, but it may
have been otherwise. On the fifth or sixth night we went to Vauxhall
