me, there must
be no difficulty, diversion, nor jealousy. Nay, I shall try to seduce
your husband, with a view to cover our delinquencies. I would offer you
mine, but, truly, he is not worth having to a woman who can find
better, as my dear Lizzie so charmingly does. We have managed matters
so prudently that my husband has taken a great fancy to the Count, and
he dines frequently at our house.

We have often talked of you. I told him of your marriage, and of a
probability of your eventually settling in London. I marked the sparkle
of his eyes at the news, but was silent as to your letter and
adventures. It is better we should manage the affair between us when

parties of the most delightful kind. I even hope we may induce the
Count to join you and Charlie in a _partie carree_; what fun and

each bout. Oh! the very idea has set me on fire; fortunately, I am
expecting my lover at every moment. I will close my letter with this
lascivious picture, and in hopes of some day realizing it with my loved
Lizzie, Whose most affectionate and attached friend,

Such were these two charming letters, and I may immediately mention now
that the lascivious picture dear Carry drew of a _partie carree_--we
four the actors--was afterwards realised to the utmost extent of every
salacious enjoyment that the most experienced lubricity could suggest.

The Count and I often sandwiched them between us, which they declared
to be the _ne plus ultra_ of pleasure, while the upper operator
gamahuched the unoccupied quim. Nay, these giddy delicious creatures
were not satisfied until they had induced us to alternate the joys of
coition with each other; but that was rarely the case. These enchanting
women were so exquisitely seductive that, while we had them at our
disposal, we sought no other source of delight. But I am digressing,
and talking of events that occurred long after the period which I am
more particularly describing.

The three weeks' absence of Mr. Benson terminated, alas, far too soon;
in fact, time flew so quick that it hardly appeared three days when a
letter arrived announcing his return for the n
