. "Would you know, if you felt us?" said one
women. "If I felt all your cunts in the dark, I'll bet I should know
Marie's," said Lord A.... "That is if you felt all round and about,"
said Fred, "but not if she opened her legs, and you only felt the
notch." "I think I should."

"Why?--is she different from others?" Lord A----

was going to say something, when Marie told him to shut up.

So we went on, the men in lascivious language, the women in more
disguised terms, discussing the probabilities of distinguishing cunts
or pricks by a simple feel in the dark. Each remark caused roars of
laughter, the women whispered to each other, and laughed at their own
sayings. Lewdness had seized us all, the women's eyes were brilliant
with voluptuous desire. More wine was drunk, "Call it by its proper
name," said Lord A.... when Marie remarked that a woman must know her
own man's thing. "Prick then." "I will bet five pounds that Mabel would
not guess my prick in the dark, if she felt all of us," said I. "And
I'll bet," said another. "Shall we try?" said Fred. "Yes," said Mabel
more fuddled than the rest. Baudier and baudier, we talked, laughed, and
drank, and at length set to work to make rules for trying, all talking
at once.

One proposed one way, one another. "I can't tell unless I feel balls as
well," said a woman. "Will they be stiff when we feel?" said another.
"Mine will," said Fred, "it's stiff already." "So is mine," added I.

"How shall we know where to put our hands, if we are in the dark?" said
Lady A.... "If a man is in front of you, you will find it fast enough,"
answered some one. Laura had now yielded to the baudy contagion, and
made no objection, though Mabel and Lady A.... were the most forward.
Then Lord A... rang the bell, and told his valet he might go out for the
night, and his house-keeper and maid they might go to bed, which they
did at the top of the house, as we supposed. The sequel proved that to
be doubtful, and that they must have had a most edifying night.

After lewd squabbles, we arranged that each man was to give the woman if
she guessed the prick right, ten pounds; the men were to be naked, the
women to feel all the men's cocks, and give a card to him whose prick
she thought she knew. The room was to be dark. No man was to speak,
or give any indication by laughing, coughing, or any other way, under
penalty of paying all the bets. The women were to lose if they spoke,
or gave indications of who
