consternation was extreme as she felt the warm flesh within her. She
had on many occasions tried the effect of Laura's substitute, but her
experience of the real article had been quite enough to satisfy her
that this was something of a different description, and she exclaimed,
"Goodness gracious Miss Laura, what is the meaning of this?"

Frank replied, tearing off his cap and exhibiting his short curls
instead of Laura's flowing ringlets, "Well, I am glad I have got
something to prove I am not a girl, for I was beginning to be afraid
that the change of dress had effected a complete transformation."

It was too late for any objection now. Nor did Betsy appear at all
disposed to make any. On the contrary, the lascivious boy's motions
were so lively and so well directed and his capacity for conferring
pleasure so much greater than she had expected that she at once yielded
herself up to the enjoyment, and joined in his amorous transports with
hearty good will. And when he had given and drawn from her the first
proof of their mutual satisfaction with each other and the young rogue
still retained his position and proceeded to give her a second dose of
his prolific balm, she was quite transported with delight and exerted
herself with so much vigor and set to second his endeavours that they
very soon sank exhausted in each other's arms enjoying to the utmost
the second proof of the completion of their mutual overwhelming bliss.

But these hours of happiness were too delightful to last long. The day
appointed for the marriage came upon us before we could believe it
possible. Though sorely against my will I thought it right to suggest
to Laura whether it would not be prudent that she should pass the last
night of her presumed virgin state without having her inmost recesses
explored for fear of any traces being left. But though she at first
agreed that this precaution would be advisable, she could not make up
her mind to put it in practice. To our surprise and joy she came to us
as usual as soon as she was left alone for the night. Unwilling to run
the risk of her appearing fatigued and exhausted in the morning, we
resolved to concentrate our forces upon her and take our farewell that
night. Time after time we kept up the amorous combat, sometimes in
succession and sometimes combining our forces for a joint attack both
in front and rear, almost without intermission until we were fairly
exhausted; and it was only
