“What shall I say? my emotions of fear and surprise were instantly
subdued by those of the pleasure I bespoke in great presence of mind
from the turn this adventure might take. He seemed to me no other than
a pitying angel, dropt out of the clouds: for he was young and
perfectly handsome, which was more than even I had asked for, man, in
general, being all that my utmost desires had pointed at. I thought
then I could not put too much encouragement into my eyes and voice; I
regretted no leading advances; no matter for his after-opinion of my
forwardness, so it might bring him to the point of answering my
pressing demands of present case; it was not now with his thoughts but
his actions that my business immediately lay. I raised then my head,
and told him, in a soft tone, that tended to prescribe the same key to
him, that his mamma was gone out and would not return till late at
night: which I thought no bad hint; but as it proved, I had nothing of
a novice to deal with. The impressions I had made on him from the
discoveries I had betrayed of my person in the disordered motions of
it, during his view of me asleep, had, as he afterwards told me, so
fixed and charmingly prepared him, that, had I known his dispositions,
I had more to hope from his violence, than to fear from his respect;
and even less than the extreme tenderness which I threw into my voice
and eyes, would have served to encourage him to make the most of the

back, and he with me, in course, on the bed, upon which I had, by
insensibly shifting from the side to near the middle, invitingly, made
room for him. He is now lain down by me, and the minutes being too
precious to consume in ultimate ceremony, or dalliance, my youth
proceeds immediately to those extremities, which all my looks, humming
and palpitations, had assured him he might attempt without the fear of
a repulse: those rogues the men, read us admirably on these occasions.
I lay then at length panting for the imminent attack, with wishes far
beyond my fears, and for which it was scarce possible for a girl,
barely thirteen, but tall and well grown, to have better dispositions.
He threw up my petticoat and shift, whilst my thighs were, by an
instinct of nature, unfolded to their best; and my desires had so
thoroughly destroyed all modesty in me, that even their being now naked
and all laid open to him, was part of the prelude that pleasure
deepened my blushes at, more than same. But when his hand, and touches,
naturally attracted to their center, made me feel all their wantonness
and warmth in, and round it, oh! how immensely different a sense of
things, did I perceive there, than when under my own insipid handling!
And now his waistcoat was unbuttoned, and the confinement of the
