e and smiled to
think how easily he could foil her but as he had promised the doctor to
make no attempt on his mother that night, he went to bed and slept
soundly. Next day he provided himself with a turn-screw and a small
phial of sweet oil. When mamma was busy at cards, he slipped upstairs
and easily unscrewed the brass receiver of the bolt, he oiled the
screws and worked them in and out until they went freely and then
screwed the covering on again, and felt secure of entering mamma's room
whenever he pleased. It had been combined between the doctor and him
that by means of gamahuching and frigging, mamma should be put into a
state of great excitement without allowing her to be satisfied, so that
her passions might be in favour of being fucked, no matter by what
prick. For this purpose the doctor was to keep her with him till dawn.
At night Harry watched through the key hole, and when he saw his mother
pass into the doctor's room, he at once unscrewed the covering, shot
back the bolt, and screwed the cover on again. He was thus all ready
for any event, and if his mother was astonished at his entrance, he

the light flashed through the key hole, awaited his mamma's return,
which occurred very shortly after. The shutting off the light by
closing the door of communication told him that she had returned to her
own room. He heard her sit down on the pot, and the force of the flow
of water proved how healthy she was. He heard her rustle into bed. Then
throwing off his dressing-gown and socks he opened the door and
approached his mother's bed. Being awake, she instantly saw him in the
half-daylight that came from the unshuttered window.

"Harry! What on earth brings you here, and how did you open the door?"

"I heard you moving, dear mamma, I could not sleep for the cold. I got
up and tried the door, it was not locked, you must have omitted to turn
the bolt, but I should have rapped and called to you, if it had not
been open. I want you to let me get warm in your nice warm bed, and you
will cuddle your poor Harry--will you not, dear mamma?"
