gone gay; but although I haunted gay places to find her, I never saw her
there.

Some seven years afterwards I met her. She had gone to service again,
and had written to tell me where. I never had that letter. There was
again a bachelor son in the house, who made advances to her, and finally
kept her. Meanwhile I had moved my residence, and oddly enough opposite
to the house in which her protector had lived for many years with his
mother. Mary actually knew everything about my domestic affairs almost
as well as if she had lived opposite to me herself, for my neighbours
knew a good deal about me. He kept her at a nice little house some miles
off.

It was opposite the National Gallery that we met in the dusk of the
evening. I went to J... s' street with her, and to bed, and fucked her
with rapture till I brought on her poorliness in floods.

Her protector had just married, parted with her, and given her
money. She was going home to her native place,--what to do I don't
recollect,--she was still lovely, although somewhat broken. I never saw
her after that night. About five years afterwards she wrote to say she
was badly off, would I send her a trifle. I sent her two pounds, she
thanked me in a letter, and said in it, that she often cried when she
thought of me, and past time,--and I never heard of her afterwards.

I could tell a lot more about my doings with this lovely creature, for
everything connected with her is as fresh in my memory as possible; but
must go back to that time when coming back to England I found she had
left her last situation, and I could not find her whereabouts.

But I must add something which was omitted when I abbreviated the
manuscript for printing. I revelled as said in the smell of a nice
woman; with the poor cheap women I had for some time had, their smell
offended me, I avoided kissing them even, why I can't say. With Mary
this delight returned, her aroma overpowered me, and added to my
voluptuous delight in her embraces. On every possible opportunity I
used to lift her petticoats, and smell her flesh, it intoxicated me, and
instantly made me wild with lewdness.
