Volume IV Part 10 (1/2)

”Yes My sister would have adored him, as that sort of love is her passion”

”But your sister has such fine haunches”

”So have I! Look here, feel ht; but wait a bit, it is too soon for that kind of thing yet”

”We will be wanton after supper”

”I think you are wanton now,” said the Lepi

”Why?”

”Why? Ought you to shew your person like that?”

”My dear girl, you will be shewing yourself soon When one is in good coe”

”I wonder at your telling everyone what sort of a connection you have with the auditor,” said I

”Nonsense! I don't tell everyone, but everyone tells ratulates me too They know the worthy man never cared for wouesses I used to be astonished at my sister, but the best plan in this world is to be astonished at nothing But don't you like that?”

”No, I only like this”

As I spoke I laid hands on the Lepi, on the spot where one usually finds what I called ”this;” but the Astrodi, seeing that I found nothing, burst into a roar of laughter, and taking my hand put it just under her front huuess my surprise The poor creature, too ashain to rise, as I thought of the pleasure I should get out of this new discovery after supper

”Have you never had a lover?” said I to the Lepi

”No,” said the Astrodi, ”she is still a maid”

”No, I am not,” replied the Lepi, in some confusion, ”I had a lover at Bordeaux, and another at Montpellier”

”Yes, I know, but you are still as you were born”

”I can't deny it”

”What's that? Two lovers and still a maid! I don't understand; please tell ”

”Before I satisfied my first lover which happened when I was only twelve, I was just the same as I am now”

”It's wonderful And what did he say when he saw it?”

”I swore that he wasit down to the peculiar shape of my body”
