Here, I think, I had better explain the mechanical means I had at my disposal for the discomfiture and subjugation of Alice. In his introduction to the Star edition of the book, Alexis Lykiard notes its mordant humour and opines that it "is that rarity – an entertaining, funny and sexy book". [7] Susan Griffin comments that when the hero forces the heroine to remove her clothing he gloats over not her beauty but her humiliation: "The virgin is punished by carnality". [8] It is then taken for granted sexual intercourse, even in the form of rape, will awaken any woman's sexual passions. [5] [9]She was now lying quietly and breathing normally and regularly, the tremblings and quiverings that had been running intermittently through her having by now ceased. I did not feel quite sure if she had recovered herself yet, but as I watched her, I noticed an attempt on her part to try and slip her wrists out of the silken nooses that attached the ropes to them. This settled the point, and, before she could effect her object and free her hands, I set the ropes working, remarking as I did so: 'Well Alice, shall we resume?'

Chapter XXVI - In Sickness And In Health

Alice was at my mercy! I could not have her at better advantage! She struggled desperately to dislodge, me, but to no avail! Oh! let me go! let me go!' she begged, still with her face in her hands and in such evident distress that I deemed it best to comply and let her hurry off to her bidet, as she clearly desired. a b Hinz, Evelyn J.
