Chapter III.

_Lucille’s Marriage and Adventures._

It was about 3 A.M. one fine morning when I escaped from the Ursuline

Convent; and made my way to the Hotel d’Angleterre, the porter in

answer to my summons was about to refuse to give me refuge, when a

young Englishman, who was just taking his candle in the hall, said,

“he’d be damned if I should not be taken care of,” and ordered the

chambermaid to be called to attend on me, and added that he would be

responsible for all expenses. “Certainly, my lord,” said the porter of

the hotel, but he added _sotto voce_, “I think he’s a fool to be so

easily imposed upon.”

I was too glad to have found a protector, (especially when I found he

was an aristocrat), so I quietly followed the _femme de chambre_, and

was content to await awhile for the _denouement_ of my adventure.

Breakfast was brought to me about eleven o’clock, and also a message

to say that Lord Dunwich, would do himself the pleasure of waiting

upon me in an hour’s time.

You may be sure I was all impatience to see the kind fellow who had

stood my friend, and was most agreeably surprised to find his manners

quite equal to his appearance when I saw him again.

His Lordship was greatly interested by the account of my escape from

the convent, and said he was a very particular friend of my betrothed

husband, the Earl of Ellington, and would put me under the protection

of a lady going to England, who would see me safe home. He was such a

handsome fellow, and my gratitude was so gushing that at the moment I

could have refused him no thing, and was delighted by the way he

lingered over a kiss, he would insist upon as his due, my whole soul

seemed to leap towards the generous fellow, and tears of

disappointment stood in my eyes when he was gone.

I never saw him again till my wedding day, two years later, when he

was best man to my husband, and in my eyes looked a thousand times

more loveable.

A married couple of sixteen and twenty-eight ought to have been

blessed with every happiness, but after the first three days of our

honeymoon the Earl’s temper seemed so overbearing and imperious, that

I began seriously to regret my fate, and looked forward to a life of

gilded misery. The Earl was fond of the turf, and often left me alone

whilst he spent a fortnight at Newmarket or Doncaster and York.

One day I was agreeably surprised by a call from Lord Dunwich, (we

were living in Grosvenor Square at the time), he looked more handsome

than ever, and seemed so full of sympathy for me in every respect that

I could not help falling into tears, and telling him all my fears, and

how I was neglected for nasty ugly fourlegged brutes of race-horses,

and that in fact I was sure Lord Ellington loved his Derby favourite

better than myself, and would rather I broke my neck than his pet

should fall lame.

“Ah, Lucille” he said, falling on his knees before me, “how your

distress cuts me to the quick, would to God I could comfort you in any

way! I have loved you from the first moment we met, although I knew

you belonged to a bosom friend, and now the wretch slights you; look

up, dear Lucille, from your tears, smile upon one who is devoted to

you body and soul!” And then seizing my hand, upon which he imprinted

a lot of impassioned kisses, “Ah, you will pardon my presumptuous

love, how can I help it?”

I was piqued by the Earl’s coldness towards me, and something impelled

me to pity the handsome suitor at my feet, so that although the tears

were still welling from my eyes, could not help smiling and caressing

his head as he looked up to my face.

“Darling Lucille, I may call you so now, you respond to my love, my

happiness is too great,” he exclaimed, drawing my unresisting body

down, so that our lips quickly met in a rapturous kiss of real love.

I was lost, and he so rapidly took advantage of everything, that

proceeding from one liberty to another, in less than ten minutes I was

an adulteress, but what a sweet sin, what transports of love shot

through our souls as we melted away again and again in the ecstasies

of mutual enjoyment; how we toyed with each other’s most secret

charms, and promised to renew our forbidden pleasure at every

convenient opportunity.

Alas, for our happiness, some spy informed the Earl of my sweet

_liaison_, he made an excuse to visit Brussels with me and again I

found myself incarcerated in a hateful convent.

The kindness of my husband on our journey from England (which I

afterwards found was only a part of his most artful programme), had so

imposed upon my rather soft-hearted nature, that I really felt sorry

that I ever been unfaithful to my marriage vows, although no doubt the

image of my loving paramour was firmly imprinted in my heart.

We went to operas, bal masques, saw all the sights, and enjoyed

ourselves immensely for a few days and being strict Catholics he one

day said jestingly, “I suppose, Lucille, we must go to confession, and

get absolution after having enjoyed ourselves, and confess all the

delightful sins we have committed; by-the-bye, be sure you do not

forget to confess having ridden a St. George on your husband, and

allowed him to spend his seed in your hand, or on your pretty bosom,

they are most awful sins, and will cost a pretty penny for absolution.

I should not be surprised if the Rev. Father undertook to inflict

personal chastisement _à la Girard et Cadière_,” he added, laughing.

“But, seriously,” I answered, “apart from joking, I know we ought to

do it, and will go to that church in the Rue de la Madeleine this very

day, I know I am a sinner, but don’t like to make a laugh of such

serious things.”

Then seating myself on his knee, I drew his face to mine, and kissed

him lovingly, as I added, “But, dear Francis, you won’t leave your

little wife so long again, will you, for those horrid horses? You

can’t imagine how dull and low spirited I get when left all by

myself.”

“What a pretty pouting little bride you look. Why, Lucille, the way

you kiss excites me as if we were still on the honeymoon trip; but

dearest,” he added, “a sporting man must see his horses tried and run,

then, you, know, I shall make up in the winter what you lose in the

summer; there’s nothing else to do then but to make love. Ha, you

sweet little devil, do you want to commit another sin before

confession?”

My hand had been gently caressing his prick outside his breeches, till

it was now rampant and impatient of the restraining cloth.

“Well,” he went on, following my example, by passing a hand up my

clothes, and gently tickling my clitoris with his forefinger, “we’ll

lump it all together, so there won’t be any more to pay. My Stars,

Lucille, how excitable you are. You’re spending on my fingers. It’s

nothing to blush about, little simpleton.”

I got off his lap, and kneeling before him, unbuttoned his flap, and

the engine of love seemed to leap into my hand, its fiery head, with

the skin turned back, looked so tempting, that I could not resist the

temptation to kiss and caress it for a few moments. My tongue played

lasciviously round the tender and excitable surface, whilst my hands,

were fondling his finely developed balls.

“Darling! Darling!” he ejaculated. “It’s coming! Oh! I can’t

stop—kiss—kiss—suck it. Take it in your mouth, Lucille! Oh! Ah! How

delicious! You darling, to think you would give me so much pleasure!”

I was as excited as himself, and sucked and swallowed his delicious

spendings to the very last drop, as he pressed my head down with his

hands, and gasped out his hands, and gasped out his ejaculations of

ecstasy.

“Now, it’s my turn, Sir. I mean to have a St. George, as you lie on

the hearthrug. Come, down with you at once, or I will bite it off,”

making him feel my teeth, as I playfully took it again in my mouth.

We had a delightful bout on the hearthrug, and I rode him till he

spent into my excited cunt a third time. Keeping his cock stiff, and

starting him again after each spend by the contractions of the folds

of my vagina, which he declared gave him the most exquisite and

voluptuous sensations, and that he had never experienced anything to

equal it in his life, many women as he had had in his time.

Presently I told him that as soon as I could get dressed I would go to

confession.

“Do love,” he replied, “and if the Confessor is reasonable with you, I

will go myself to-morrow, or send for him to wait on me at the hotel.”

I left him smoking a cigar, and about an hour-and-a-half afterwards

entered the church, where I was immediately accosted by an elderly

priest. “If the English lady wishes to confess, the Father Francisco

in yonder box is most suitable for Madame. He knows the English ways

so well, and was consecrated in England.”

I approached the box, which was in a very secluded corner of the

sacred building, and kneeling on a hassock, enquired, in a low voice,

“If the Rev. Father Francisco was ready to hear my confession?”

“Yes, my daughter, and I pray God you may have nothing but venial sins

to confess,” was the reply of my unseen Confessor.

In my innocence I related every act of our married life; how excited

we were in our love games, and the various attitudes we used to

heighten our enjoyment.

“Awfully sensual, my daughter. Your Confessor previous to marriage

must have admonished you as to the use of these unnatural postures in

following the dictates of nature in your endeavours to obey the first

commandment, ‘_to increase and multiply_.’ The holy rites of matrimony

ought not to be perverted by lascivious ideas and filthy sacrifices to

lust. It is a most serious thing my daughter, but before I consider

what penance to exact for such sins, tell me, as you value the

intercession of our Holy Mother, have you always been faithful to your

husband? If only by a look or a gesture, it is important to your

salvation hereafter that you should confess it now.”

I was silent, dumbfoundered for a moment or two. “Ah! my daughter,

conceal nothing. Alas! it is as I feared—conceal nothing from me, or

it will be impossible for me to grant you absolution.”

Thus pressed, and feeling but a full confession would avail me with

the Confessor, I told him everything, and especially how sorry I felt

at having allowed my pique at the Earl’s neglect to have carried me

into such a _liaison_, and that the tender regard he had lately

exhibited towards me smote me to the quick for my unfaithfulness, and

that that was the reason I had so given way to lasciviousness with

him, in order to compensate, by the perfect abandon of my love, for

any suspicions he might entertain.

“My daughter, I must consult our Superior. Yours is such a serious

case, and I beg that you will go into the vestry, by the door behind

this box, and wait a few minutes, till I bring you his decision,” said

Father Francisco.

I was all of a tremble, my face felt hot with blushes of shame and I

longed to hide from observation for a few minutes, so I readily went

into the vestry, as he had requested. It was a bare scantily furnished

room, with a few chairs, a writing table covered with papers, and some

priests’ frocks and vestments hanging round the walls.

Presently the old priest who had accosted me on my first entering the

church, came to conduct me to Father Francisco’s room, but instead of

that, I found myself in the cell of a convent, with the door locked

behind me.

The worst fears assailed my frightened mind; I sank on my knees,

calling on God and my husband to release me, crying and stamping in

impotent rage by turns; this must have lasted an hour or two. Then a

little wicket was opened in the door, and the same old priest told me

to calm myself, for Father Francisco and the Superior were praying to

the Holy Mother to direct them what penance to impose upon such a

sinner, and that I must remain where I was till next day, when, he

added, “no doubt you will be restored to your loving husband, as pure

in mind and spirit as when you first took your marriage vows.”

I was going to implore him to allay the Earl’s anxiety on my behalf,

but he assured me they had sent to his lordship to say that I was

doing penance for some hours in their convent, and quickly closed the

_guichet_, so that I was again left alone.
