Chapter 10

What did you say, Giles?”

“Necrophilia.”

“What’s that?”

“Never mind,” sighed Giles. “Go to sleep.”

Susie turned over on her side and hunched herself up into a small ball, drawing her legs up against her chest. What had she done wrong? But it had all been so painful and bewildering.

First he had insisted on undressing her, which had taken an agonizingly long and embarrassing time.

He had unfastened the brown velvet dress, then the camisole blouse, then the layers of petticoats tied with tape at the waist. Then he had unbuttoned her long frilly knickers and unclipped her stockings from their garters. Swearing mightily, he had wrestled with the metal busks of her corset until he had got them undone, and then had stared in dismay as she stood revealed in all the glory of her fine wool combination, a one-piece garment that covered her from her bust to her knees.

He had started to laugh, and that had been horrible. “Honestly, Susie darling,” he had cried, “how can you females possibly wear so many clothes?”

She had simply stood there, like a statue, staring at him, wide-eyed. He had started to take off his own clothes, and that was when she had found the courage to ask him to blow out the candles, which he had done with an indulgent smile.

As he had carried her to the bed and had started to remove her one last garment, remembering from his long experience that it unfastened by a sort of back panel over the bottom, she had closed her eyes tightly.

He had started to kiss her, and that was all right, warm and comforting. He had kissed her and caressed her for a very long time, and then, all at once, a lot of very painful and embarrassing things had started to happen.

He had not seemed to realize how painful it was and had answered every one of her moans with a moan of passion. Just when she thought she simply could not bear it any longer, he had collapsed on top of her.

She had lain supporting his body for some minutes and then had asked timidly, “Is it all over?” At which Giles had turned his back on her and had muttered that word that she did not understand.

Giles closed his eyes and willed sleep to come. That “Is it all over?” of hers had been like a jug of cold water. She had endured his embraces, that was all. He had made a simply terrible mistake. But now he would have to marry her.

He tried to remember his first nights with his ex-wife, but found he could not remember much except his surprise that she had seemed so experienced. He began to wonder if he had ever slept with a virgin before and after a lot of long and painful thought, decided he had not.

He felt the beginnings of some pity for Susie and some understanding. But, at that moment anyway, he did not feel he could touch her again.

He tried manfully to woo
