'Oh, yes! oh, yes, that's just what we should like!'

Hie dance was drawing to a close, and a most voluptuous one, although Rose and Marie had not given one another the supreme embrace, following in this the directions of Madame.

I whispered a few words in the good lady's ear; she got up and spoke for a moment to the girls who retired with the exception of Rose, Marie and Blanche.

When we were alone I said to Rose: 'I shall be very much obliged if you will have a turn with Evelyn, Rose, and you, Marie, will take charge of Nora. They are charmed with you and are delighted with your way of dancing!'

'Oh,' said Rose, 'that's nothing; we will show the young ladies something much nicer than that!

Now, Blanche play us the Surgente di amare!'

And Blanche began to play it.

At first things did not go too well, especially with Nora, who was less quick than Evelyn in accommodating herself to the new measure. But soon I had the intense pleasure of seeing my two nieces dancing as gracefully and, I might almost say, as lasciviously as their delighted instructresses.

And soon the style changed.

Up to this point Rose and Marie had held their partners in the usual way, but now, placing their arms more firmly round their waists, they pressed their trembling bodies more closely to their own. .

And then indeed the dance became almost maddening in its refined lasciviousness. Of course, Rose and Marie were past mistresses in the art and seemed to take a real pleasure in initiating the two charming flappers. The couples pressed close together, thighs were advanced and inserted between thighs, bodies and breasts seemed to merge and warm breath was mingled. Slowly in this position they revolved for a few moments until it became evident that the voluptuous valse had justified its tide and that-for the first time as I supposed in the case of my little friends-the springs of love were opened.

The happy climax was reached just as the last strains of the dance were dying away. Rose and Marie at the critical moment had led their partners in front of Madame and myself as we sat on the sofa. I saw suddenly, and at the same moment, Evelyn and Nora fall forwards and collapse in the arms of the two girls: their knees seemed to bend forward, their loins were arched in, their thighs gripped as though in a vice the thigh of their partner, and the convulsive jerks of their bottoms, plainly visible under their thin dresses, left no doubt that the sluices were opened and that the tide of love was flowing freely. They would certainly have fallen if Rose and Marie had not supported them and half carried them to a seat, where they remained for a few moments as though dead.

They soon recovered, however, and seemed a little ashamed of their weakness. I went and took them by the hand and led them to the sofa where I had been sitting.

'What has happened?' I asked smiling.

They were equally unable to find an answer, so I came to their assistance.

'Don't try to put me off with some fairy-tale,' I said gaily; 'I will explain to you what has happened.'

Rose and Marie were talking together at the end of the room and Madame had gone up to the pianist to congratulate her on the success of her playing.

'Dancing undertaken in a certain manner,' I said, 'is naturally conducive to pleasure in the sense that it excites those parts of the body which are the seat of the novel sensations which you have just experienced. You know the parts that I mean?'

Silence.

'You know,' I continued, 'that these are the central parts of the body: the loins, the lower part of the belly, the thighs, the bottom, all nervous sensations are centred here. But when the dance is conducted as it was just now, when the bodies touch-still more when it is a man and a girl who are dancing together-when the belly of one is pressed against the belly of the other and when the thigh of one is inserted and rubs against the thighs of the other and the lower part of the belly, thus exciting the treasures which are hidden there. . '

'Uncle Jack!' sighed Nora, “you are driving me mad!'

'Don't interrupt, Nora,' said Evelyn with a quick and tender glance; 'go on Uncle Jack, all this is most interesting!'

'Then there takes place what has just occurred to both of you: a prolonged and infinitely delicious spasm, one which-with certain variations-is always produced when one “spends", as it is called, that is to say when one enjoys the sensation which you have just experienced. Evelyn, dear, tell me openly exactly what you felt.'

'For my part,' said Evelyn softly, 'what had the great effect on me was the rubbing. . Oh! how shall I explain it?'

'Of the thigh?'

'No. . of the belly. It seemed to me that my very being was attracted by Rose's belly: I seemed to feel it naked under my dress!. . '

There's nothing peculiar about that, darling. I have often felt that remarkable attraction myself.'

'But how can you feel, you a man, what we girls have just felt, as you are not made as we are?'

'Pleasure is all one. Men and women feel it equally and just in the same way. You have, however, one great advantage over us! Your pleasure, otherwise called your “spending", is much more prolonged than ours and does not take it out of you nearly so much.'

'Really?' I could see that this piece of information interested the two dears immensely. Evelyn continued: 'You will think me very inquisitive, Uncle Jack, but I should like to know how it was that you experienced what you were saying about. . the belly.'

'I have often experienced, it,' I said, 'and for the first time when I was only about twelve years old. My governess at that time was a strict disciplinarian and she used often to whip me. Now, she had a way of turning the punishment of a whipping into a delightful pleasure for me. When she whipped me she used to take down my trousers and turn up my shirt and then used to place me across her knees from which she had removed her skirt and petticoat. Thus my bare belly seemed to be pressed against hers and caused me such pleasure as quite to outweigh the smarting of the birch; and I enjoyed this all the more because a whipping in itself has peculiarly erotic effects.'

'Erotic?' said Nora.

“Yes, darling, erotic means having relation to sensual love.'

'Really? And so a whipping raises a sensation of love! Oh, how funny! I should never have believed such a thing if you hadn't told us!'

'But it's true all the same, you dears, and you will be able to test it for yourselves before long.

and I can assure you that you will be surprised at the results.'

Meanwhile Evelyn was making a curious little grimace which I noticed.

'What is it, Evelyn?' I asked softly.

She blushed deeply and murmured: 'I should. . I should like. . '

'And so should I,' said Nora naively.

I was amused at their embarrassment and insisted, “You would like what? Come, out with it!'

'I should like to go for a moment to. . to a bedroom.'

'Oh!' said I, 'I know what's the matter!'

'Uncle Jack! Please!'

'There's nothing to blush about in that. I'll bet that, as they say in French, you've donepipi. . “ The two little darlings hid their blushes in their hands.

'Of course that's it,' I continued. 'Well, my dears, don't be alarmed. You require certain ablutions, no doubt, but you have not done pipi. What has happened to you is what always happens when one enjoys the supreme pleasure: there has been what is called an emission of love-juice. In the man, this juice, shot out by the devil into the hell of a woman, is the liquid of life, the liquid in which reside the elements of a baby. Now, go with Rose and Marie and they will conduct you to a place where you will find everything which you require.'

At a sign from Madame, to whom I had hinted the requirements of my little friends, Rose and Marie came up and led them from the room.
