nights in quiet, but for all that most awful orgies with men; so, as she was now looking at them with a most lewd hand bawdy smile, the elder son pushed her softly on to a couch, and as he stole his fingers into her 'cunt,' he felt it throbbing with excitement. She opened her legs to allow him better to do as he liked with her, and, mad with lust, in another moment he had slipped his ' dolly'
into his own mother's 'cunt,' who only too willing, gave him every facility of doing so.
While this was going on and while she was dying with sensual pleasure under the amorous embrace of her eldest son, the younger boy looked on with considerable disappointment, which seeing, the Countess, with a sensuous laugh and looking a regular bacchante told him not do despair, and that he would have his turn: so she enjoyed both her handsome boys, one after the other, while the fact that it was ' incest ' added fire to her sinful excitement!
When these very wicked acts were finished, she told them with a lustful smile that they were very naughty boys and that as a punishment they would have to came both and sleep with her, one on each side of her, the very next night!
The boys told Edith of this scene the same day, she being not quite thirteen at the time, and she added that the boys did sleep with the Countess the following night and many other nights, and that she actually taught her sons to ' poke ' and 'bugger ' her-their own mother! — at the same time!
Her cousins having acquired a taste for it,began,she said,from that time to 'buggar' her also, and many a time, she assured me, she had been compressed between the two handsome boys, one in front and the other behind, which, she said, she enjoyed greatly; and, when she was a little older, they, on several occasions, took her to the rooms where the two pretty shop-girls had been established by the Countess.
There she was at first treated with great respect as a ' Society young-lady.' As soon however as the girls discovered her smutty tastes, they arrayed themselves in the most fascinating of their indecent costames, and then, having undressed the two boys, they went through a series of all the most lascivious forms of vice, that they could think of, for her amusement.
Besides this they showed her all sorts of books of extraordinary smutty pictures and photos, and lent her some stories to read, of the kind described as 'Erotic and Ultra-Galant.' In fact they did everything to corrupt her completely and made her cousins ' have ' her before them, so as to render her altogether shameless, in which had quite succeeded, for she said she was longing to be ' poked ' by lots of different men and that it was her intention to let the men know it too!
These girls had a little rhymed 'Prayer to the Virgin ' to be used before enjoying a ' poke.'
' Holy Mother, we believe
Without sin Thou didst conceive.
Grant that we, in Thee believing,
Now may sin without conceiving.'
After these visits to her cousins's ' mistresses,' Edith was very anxious to be taken to see one of the more fashionable of the ' immoral ' houses, which are to be found of a more- luxurious character in Paris, then anywhere else in the world.
Her cousins however refused to run the risk of taking her there, and so she had to be content with a description of the most luxurious and voluptuous of them all.
The inside of the house is decorated with exquisite pictures and carvings, while the large marble staircase and all the rooms are so thickly carpetted that no sound of footsteps is ever heard.
Visitors are received by a gorgeously dressed lady, who, when she has ascertained their wants, hands them over to the care of a couple of pages, about twelve years old, of whom there are a great number in the establishment, all exquisitely dressed in fancy ' tights ' costunies. They are of both sexes, but, as they all have their hair elaborately dressed, with flowers in it, and all alike wear corsets, long kid gloves, and dainty feminine shoes, it is hard to tell the sex of the pages, except that the close-fitting tights, if lodkecl at carefully, will generally reveal a 'baby-prick ' in. the case of the boy-pages. These conduct the visitors to a large room surrounded with mirrors, in which a large number of lovely girls, absolutely naked, except for transparent chemises and stockings, are placed in lascivious groups, whose suggestive poses are reflected by the glasses on the walls. From these groups, one or more partners are chosen by the visitors, who are then conducted to the sumptuous bed-rooms, where, if desired, the pages still remain, to aid them in undressing, and to excite them during their acts of sensuality by tickling, etc., etc.
There are also rooms specially set apart for the vice of ' Lesbianism,' where only women are admitted, though men are allowed to peep through hidden windows, to watch the obscene movements and poses of the unconscious girls within!
On one occasion, when the two cousins were watching through the secret spy-hole, they saw their mother- the Countessrevelling with the keenest enjoyment, in an orgy of this fascinating but unnatural vice.
That same evening, after she had gone up to bed, they went together to chaff her about the discovery they had made. She was not in the least disconcerted, and said that, if they only knew how delicious the sensation was, they would understand her enjoyment of it. To prove its pleasure to them, she offered to show the eldest one the ' gammerouge,' which is the corresponding act, in the case of a male, and consists in kissing the point of his 'dolly ' until the action of the tongue causes it to come,' Softly tickling his ' balls ' with her jewelled fingers, she did her part with such skill as to cause him the most exquisite sensations; and, bending over him as he lay on the bed, she motioned to the younger one to come behind her, and to slip his 'prick' from that position into her 'pussie,' thus causing her to feel to a certain extent the sensual pleasure which her kisses were producing.
This last recital, just like what Edith had told me before about the incestuous love encounters between this unnatural mother and her two sons, rather disgusted me, for any woman so well-preserved as the Countess can certainly get as many lovers as she wants, without getting her own sons to ' poke ' her, but Edith tells me that time will reconcile me to the idea of 'incest,'She says that in spite of her fondness for Vice of all sorts, her aunt was most particular about going to Church on Sundays, where she could not only display her own smart clothes, but study those of her neighbours; and she also showed her ' religion ' by aiding- various charities. The way in Which she preferred to do this was by acting in plays or tableaux, got up in aid of the charity, in which tase she always began by protesting that she would act any part they liked, provided it was not a maillot (tights) part; and yet she always allowed hersell to be persuaded that, with her lovely figure, etc., she would thereby induce more people to come to the entertainment and so benefit the poor, and ended not only by wearing the ' tights,' but by wearing very little else besides. In fact in one comic Opera she played the part of a boy, but wore a costume consisting of a sleeveless bodice of the thinnest possible pink kid, with knickers, or rather drawers, of the same material; and as the points of the breasts, as well as the shape of her thighs and hips, stoods out as plainly as if she had been stark naked, it is evident that few people can have mistaken her for the 'boy'' she was supposed to represent, especially as she finished her costume with sixteenbutton pink kid gloves.
On another occasion she posed in a tableau as Venus, after much protesting and resistance; and, though it was known to the audience that she wore a tight-fitting suit of the thinnest possible pink silk all over her body, anyone, seeing her in the brilliant light of the stage, would have sworn that she was as naked as Eve, for it revealed not only every curve, but every hair on her body.
Edith spoke to me also of the French watering places, and I am now longing to go to Trouville, which, as I daresay you know, is the Brighton of France. She says that there the men and girls all bathe together and have the most splendid fun.
There are, it seems, two distinct classes of girls at Trouville-those who wear bathingcostumes to bathe in, and those who like to show off their figures, without the bother of going into the water. The latter wear a sort of pantomine-boy costume, consisting of a sleeveless bodice, silk tights, high heeled shoes, and very often long kid gloves, A big picture-hat, with a parasol to match the costume, completes a toilette which would be ruined by going into the water and so they sit on the beach, smoking cigarettes and flirting, or listening to the men's very risky stories.
The bathing-girls who really mean swimming, on the other hand, generally wear a sort of silk jersey combinations, something like the men's, only much lower in the neck, sleeveless and much thinner.
The ' knowing ' girls have those made so tight that, when they get wet and shrink, the stitches begin to stretch and gape, thereby allowing the pink skin, and other charms to show trough as distinctly as if they were perfectly nude. In this way they get a distinct score over the other girls, who do not go into the water.
Edith tells me she wear.s dark-blue suits of this sort, through which her pink skin looks awfully fetching but
