Volume VI Part 90 (2/2)
”I have some pictures which you will not like”
”Let ures, and was astonished to see how coolly she exa from one to the other in the ?” I said
”Yes, very; they are so natural But a good girl should not look at such pictures; anyone must be aware that these voluptuous attitudes excite one's emotions”
”I believe you, Leah, and I feel it as much as you Look here!”
She s her back towardsany notice of my appeal
I had to cool down and dress myself, and when the hairdresser arrived Leah went away, saying she would returnI was sure of victory either that day or the next, but I was out of
We dined well and drank better At dessert Leah took the book out of her pocket and setall practical demonstration
I went out i
When the cruel Jewess ca she told me that she wanted explanations, but that Imore as a demonstration of my remarks
”Certainly,” I replied, ”but you must answer all my questions as to your sex”
”I promise to do so, if they arise naturally from the pictures”
The lesson lasted two hours, and a hundred tins, for whenever I htest attempt the pitiless woave me about her own sex was a perfect torment to me She told me the most lascivious details, and explained with the utmost minuteness the different external and internal movements which would be developed in the copulations pictured by Aretin I thought it quite i frohtest tincture of modesty, but philosophized on coition as coolly and iven her all I possessed to crown her science by the perforreat work She swore it was all pure theory with her, and I thought she etShe looked pensive when I told her that the husband destined for her e his connubial duties more than once a week

In my state of chronic irritation I felt much annoyed that there was no decent place at Ancona where a ht appease his passions for hisreally in love with Leah, and I told the consul every day that I was in no hurry to go I was as foolish as a boy in his calf-love I pictured Leah as the purest of woratify them I saw in her a model of virtue; she was all self-restraint and purity, resisting temptation in spite of the fire that consu the reader will discover how very virtuous Leah was
After nine or ten days I had recourse to violence, not in deeds but in words She confessed I was in the right, and said my best plan would be to forbid her to co to her, there would be no risk
I made up my mind to ask her to continue her visits, but to cover her breast and avoid all amorous conversation
”With all ; ”but be sure I shall not be the first to break the conditions”
I felt no inclination to break them either, for three days later I felt weary of the situation, and told the consul I would start on the first opportunity My passion for Leah was spoiling my appetite, and I thus saw myself deprived ofmy primary enjoyment
