the black hair in her arm-pits, the black hair below,
she looked in the feeble light not more than thirty years old, and as
fine an arm-full as a man could desire. "What a pity she has never been
fucked," said Fred, "I'll swear old ------ can't do it to her,--he can
only frig her."

Only four or five ladies took a morning bath; we saw the same on two or
three mornings. We were shooting all day. Fred then went to shoot with a
friend some miles off, I stopped with my aunt at the Rev.------'s house
till his return, and walked out with them. Fred went away on a Saturday
afternoon, I went to my bed-room, thought I would have a peep into the
next house, and went to Fred's room (he had left me the closet key), and
saw the bath-room quite bright with a large fire. I asked for a fire to
be lighted in Fred's room which was bigger than mine, observing that it
was so much better to write in than mine; then making a great display,
I sat down to write letters, locked the bed-room door, and stationed
myself at the crack in the closet.

Oh! what an evening! It soon became evident that the whole household
would wash that night. The young ladies came in mostly one at a time,
sometimes in pairs, the mistress came in from time to time. The ladies
came in, in loose gowns, a chemise and slippers, all but undressed.
Everything was quite decorous, the mistress mostly present. Each girl
would deposit her gown and chemise on a chair, turning her rump to the
other, and get into the bath. When they left it, they stepped out,
and came straight to the spot where I could best see them, their cunts
towards me, and began to dry themselves. Servants came in and emptied
the baths. Some used only a foot-bath. All was done so quietly and
demurely that I could scarcely hear a word they said; no girl was
supposed I think to see either the bum or belly of the other.

Once when the mistress left, a pair of girls were together, and threw
off reserve. One time they got into the bath together, and smacked each
other's bums. The younger girls had come in first in the evening, the
elder ones later. The mistress did not come in with the elder ones. This
pair talked about my cousin and me. They stood in front of the fire;
one tripped across the room, and bolted the door, then each one in
succession put a leg on the chair, and they looked at each other's
cunts. Able to bear it no longer, I frigged myself, and may as well say
at once that having begun so, I went on.
