eep her quiet. You have had her,--do
you recollect that night?--oh! God, what a spree! I never had such a
spree before in my life, and never shall again." I said I would take
care of her as if a sister, as to having her, he might dismiss such an
idea from his head, and I meant what I said. He went abroad, and was
killed in battle. I loved him.

Laura went into humbler lodgings, I saw her often, but never made the
slightest advances. Soon she could not make her money do. Her mother
came up to stay with her, and she had then partly two to keep. She
dressed plainer, sold or pawned her best things, told me all, and how
it was impossible to make the money do. Then I made her a present, she
kissed me, and that set my blood boiling. Her mother wanted her to go
back to the country, I advised it also; it was agreed she should, and
her mother went back. A day or two afterwards I called on her, she got
me a chop for dinner, and sent for wine. We talked about Fred, she cried

sure." "Let me feel." "Oh! now don't,--it's a shame." "My darling, you
are as smooth and plump as ever,--I know the feel of those beautiful
thighs, I've laid on them." Soon my hand was between them, my finger
on the clitoris. "Poor Fred," said she still crying, her head on my
shoulder. In another instant her hand was round my prick, her thighs
open, my hand restless, and roving all about her cunt. "Lay down."
"I won't." "It won't hurt him poor fellow, he is far away." For a few
minutes we coaxed and fondled, kissed and cried, saying it was not
fair, and we never would. Then cock and cunt getting hotter and more
sensitive, I pushed her flat on the sofa, and we fucked ecstatically.
Rising she sat looking at me, her clothes half-way up her thighs, I
looking at her with my wet prick hanging its head. Then we hugged,
kissed, and did it again.
