f that being the case did not so
much annoy me as I expected; on the contrary, imagination portrayed
them in all the agonies of delight, and actually excited me extremely.
All at once, the idea struck me that I might be purposely hid in the
closet, behold all their delicious encounters, and when he had left his
wife to put herself to rights, and the key was turned upon him, I might
then in my turn, fly into my enchanting mistress's arms, and revel in
all the joys her well moistened and juicy cunt could give. I determined
to propose this to dear Mrs. Benson the first moment I could get her
apart from all observation.

I was a little _distrait_ in the school-room that day, but an appeal
from Miss Evelyn recalled me to my senses. She asked me what I could be
thinking of; I held down my head and blushed. Already an adept in
dissimulation, I faltered out that it was of herself and of her
endearing caresses the day before, which had made me feel so queer all

too on fire, and I flew to the garden where my sisters had gone to
play. I gave Mary a hint, which she readily understood, and proposed a
game of hide and seek. To prevent Eliza interrupting us, I took up a
stone, which I furtively dropped again, and proposed that Eliza should
guess first, in which hand I had got it, and if she guessed wrong she
was to be the seeker. Of course, she guessed wrong. So we bound up her
eyes, and she was to stand behind a tree and count one hundred before
she attempted to look for or seek us. We made a detour, and as fast as
we could run reached the summer house, which, as all the ladies were in
the house occupied, I knew to be untenanted. We entered and locked the
door, in an instant I had Mary down on her back on the s
