 love to, with the other he was
lusciously exploring the sweet secret of nature, in order to make room for a
stately piece of machinery, that stood up-rear'd, between her thighs, as she
continued sitting on his lap, and pressed hard for instant admission, which the
tender Emily, in a fit of humour deliciously protracted, affecting to decline,
and elude the very pleasure she sigh'd for, but in a style of waywardness so
prettily put on, and managed, as to render it ten times more poignant; then her
eyes, all amidst the softest dying languishment, express'd at once a mock denial
and extreme desire, whilst her sweetness was zested with a coyness so pleasingly
provoking, her moods of keeping him off were so attractive, that they redoubled
the impetuous rage with which he cover'd her with kisses: and kisses that,
whilst she seemed to shy from or scuffle for, the cunning wanton contrived such
sly returns of, as were doubtless the sweeter for the gust she gave them, of

that the same effect, as when Louisa strove in good earnest to disengage from
the idiot, was now produced by different motives.
    Mean while, their emersion out of the cold water had caused a general glow,
a tender suffusion of heighten'd carnation over their bodies; both equally white
and smooth-skinned; so that as their limbs were thus amorously interwoven, in
sweet confusion, it was scarce possible to distinguish who they respectively
belonged to, but for the brawnier, bolder muscles of the stronger sex.
    In a little time, however, the champion was fairly in with her, and had tied
at all points the true lover's knot; when now, adieu all the little refinements
of a finessed reluctance; adieu the friendly feint! She was presently driven
forcibly out of the power of using any art; and indeed, what art must not give
