Quote #7
"She'd just wait. If I kept back for half an hour, she'd keep back longer. And when I'd come and really finished, then she'd start on her own account, and I had to stop inside her till she brought herself off, wriggling and shouting, she'd clutch with herself down there, an' then she'd come off, fair in ecstasy." (14.100)
