s since I had seen her; she was at that time twelve years
old and promised to be very pretty, but I never expected to see such an
embodiment of female loveliness as now appeared.

"My cousin Emmeline was twenty-two years of age. She was tall, stately
and voluptuously formed. Her face was perfectly oval and her features
were regular almost to a fault. Her hair, which was very abundant, was
a dark glossy brown and fell in massive bands on a neck as white and
pure as alabaster. Her eyes were dark and flashing and shrouded with
long eye-lashes while her figure was perfect. She was dressed en

separated by a white valley which led to other hidden charms. The sight
of her delicious bubbies so excited me that I was compelled to hold my
pocket handkerchief in front of me to hide the protuberance produced by
her charms.

"Several days passed, during which time I attempted to take several
liberties with my cousin--but she always stopped me at a certain point,
no doubt actuated by the fact of her approaching marriage. I was in
despair for I saw no way of accomplishing my designs. The thought
struck me, however, that if I could only succeed in exciting her
