indecent talk. As a rule, they objected to stripping naked; they
did not touch my organs; they did not suggest masturbation,
sodomy, or _fellatio_. They seldom exhibited transports, but the
better among them seemed sentimental and affectionate.

"7. Their accounts of their first fall were nearly always the
same. They got to know a 'gentleman,' often by his addressing
them in the street; he took them about to dinners and theatres;
they were quite innocent and even ignorant; on one occasion they
drank too much; and before they knew what was happening they were
no longer virgins. They do not, however, apparently round on the
