And now Emily’s partner had taken her out for her share in the dance,
when this transcendently fair and sweet tempered creature readily stood
up; and if a complexion to put the rose and lily out of countenance,
extreme pretty features, and that florid health and bloom for which the
country girls are so lovely, might pass her for a beauty, this she
certainly was, and one of the most striking of the fair ones.
Her gallant began first, as she stood, to disengage, her breasts, and
restore them to the liberty of nature, from the easy confinement of no
more than a pair of jumps; but on their coming out to view, we thought
a new light was added to the room, so superiourly shining was their
whiteness; then they rose in so happy a swell as to compose her a well
horned fullness of bosom, that had such an effect on the eye as to seem
flash hardened into marble, of which it emulated the polished gloss,
and far surpassed even the whitest, in the life and lustre of its
colours, white weined with blue. Who could refrain from such provoking
enticements in reach? he touched her breasts, first lightly, when the
glossy smoothness of the skin eluded his hand, and made it slip along
the surface; he pressed them, and the springy flesh that filled them,
thus pitted by force, rose again reboundingly with his hand, and on the
instant defaced the pressure: and alike indeed was the consistence of
all those parts of her body throughout, where the fulness of flesh
compacts and constitutes all that fine firmness which the touch is so
highly attached to. When he had thus largely pleased himself with this
branch of dalliance and delight, he trussed up her petticoat and shift,
in a wisp to her waist, where being tucked in, she stood fairly naked
on every side; a blush at this overspread her lovely face, and her eyes
downcast to the ground, seemed to be for quarter, when she had so great
a right to triumph in all the treasures of youth and beauty that she
now so victoriously displayed. Her legs were perfectly well shaped and
her thighs, which she kept pretty close, shewed so white, so round, so
substantial and abounding in firm flesh, that nothing could afford a
stronger recommendation to the luxury of the touch, which he
accordingly did not fail to indulge in. Then gently removing her hand,
which in the first emotion of natural modesty, she had carried thither,
he gave us rather a glimpse than a view of that soft narrow chink
running its little length downwards, and hiding the remains of it
between her thighs; but plain was to be seen the fringe of light-brown
curls, in beauteous growth over it, that with their silk gloss created
a pleasing variety from the surrounding white, whose lustre too, their
gentle embrowning shade, considerably raised. Her spark then
endeavoured, as she stood, by disclosing her thighs, to gain us a
completer sight of that central charm of attraction, but not obtaining
it so conveniently in that attitude, he led her to the foot of the
