The Way of a Man with a Maid

Product Information

One evening, the familiar note came to say the sisters were coming to town on the next day and would come for lunch. A little before the appointed hour Alice, to my surprise, appeared alone! She said that, after the note had been posted, Marion became ill and had been very poorly all night and so could not come to town, though better. The shopping engagement was one of considerable importance to Alice, and therefore she had come up alone; she had called to explain matters to me, but would not stop to lunch, she would get a cup of tea and a bun somewhere. a b c d e f g Clifford J. Scheiner (1996), The Essential Guide to Erotic Literature, Part One: Before 1920. Ware, Wordsworth: 326-9 May I learn something about my wifie?' I whispered as I placed my right hand on Alice's maiden breasts and began feeling them as if she was indeed my bride! Alice smiled tenderly, yielding herself to my caprice, and quivering anew under the voluptuous sensations communicated to her by my inquisitive fingers. 'Oh! what little beauties! oh! what darling bubbies!' I murmured amidst fresh kisses! - Alice now beginning to look quite pleased at my using her own pet name for her treasures and commencing to enter almost heartily into my game. I continued to fondle and squeeze her luscious breasts for a little longer, then carried my hand lower down her, but suddenly arrested it, whispering: 'May I?' A sudden passion seemed to possess her. She looked me squarely in the eyes for the first time, hers blazing with rage and indignation: 'No! no!' she exclaimed vehemently, 'I defy you! Do your worst. Do you think you will frighten me into satisfying your lust? Once and for all I give you my answer: No! No! No! Oh! you cowardly brute and beast!' And she laughed shrilly as she turned herself away contemptuously.

Presently I murmured: 'Now, wifie! you'll like to learn something about me, eh?' Alice laughed merrily at the quaint conceit, then coloured furiously as she remembered that it would mean the introduction of her virgin hands to my virile organs! 'Sit up, wifie! dear, and give me your pretty hands,' I said. I, the man, will not take up the time of my readers by detailing the circumstances under which Alice, the maid, roused in me the desire for vengeance which resulted in the way I adopted and which I am about to relate. Suffice it then to say that Alice cruelly and unjustifiably jilted me! In my bitterness of spirit, I swore that if I ever had an opportunity of getting hold of her, I would make her voluptuous person recompense me for my disappointment and that I would snatch from her by force the bridegroom's privileges that I so ardently coveted. But I had to dissemble! Alice and I had many mutual friends to whom this rupture was unknown; we were therefore constantly meeting each other, and if I gave her the slightest hint of my intentions towards her, it would be fatal to the very doubtful chances of success that I had! And so successfully did I conceal my real feelings under a cloak of generous acceptance of her action that she had not the faintest idea (as she afterwards admitted to me) that I was playing a part.Donald C.

Here, I think, I had better explain the mechanical means I had at my disposal for the discomfiture and subjugation of Alice. We gazed at our reflection for a moment, our eyes meeting in the glass! Alice looked just lovely in her nakedness! a b Pease, Allison (2000). Modernism, mass culture, and the aesthetics of obscenity. Cambridge University Press. p.158. ISBN 978-0-521-78076-6.

Alice was at my mercy! I could not have her at better advantage! She struggled desperately to dislodge, me, but to no avail! Alice laughed incredulously and defiantly: 'Yes, let us see! Let us see!' she retorted contemptuously.The way or part of the air through which she passeth, without leaving any print or sign in it, which though it be true of all birds, yet is here attributed to the eagle, of whom this is more true, because she flies out of sight, where neither her body nor any sign of it can be discerned.

For some little time, I did not touch her, but indulged in a good look at close quarters at the sweet citadel of her chastity.

Chapter XXIX - The Garden

Alice was leisurely finishing her coffee when a rattle of rain against the window panes, followed by an ominous growl of thunder, made her start from her chair and go to the casement. 'Oh! Just look at the rain!' she exclaimed in dismay, 'how very unfortunate!' Your violation, my dear!' I replied quietly, looking her straight in the face, 'the surrender to me of your maidenhead!' Alice stared at me, silent with surprise and horror! My quiet determined manner staggered her. She paled when I referred to the past, and she flushed painfully as I indicated what her immediate future would be. After a slight pause I spoke again. Zatlin, Linda G. (Autumn–Winter 1990).

No! no! ...' she cried, plunging wildly beneath me in her vain endeavours to dislodge me, 'not again! ... oh! not again! Let me go! ... stop! ... oh! please, do stop!' she implored, almost in tears, and in terrible distress at the horrible prospect of being ravished a second time.
