Chapter 19

Later, as they sat on the train leaving the small town:

“You are strong willed. You did not seek to invade my person, in that other place I mean.”

“Which one?”

She looked at him quizzically. “There is only one.”

“Ahh, not so.”

“Explain please.” she said, but the train was pulling into the station where they would part ways. “Write it, here.” She wrote her home address in small notebook drawn from her reticule, tore the page out and gave it to him. “Write to me at home with this information. I perceive that I am an innocent. I think we may need to visit another school on our border in the near future.”

He handed her onto her connecting train and went to get tea and a muffin and await his own connection. Here was a turnup, he thought with a smile, ‘I think I’m on a promise. What do I write? Well, she asked for the complete, unvarnished truth. Will she be shocked? Probably, but I think she is one who has some strong nature in her. Perhaps the result of losing her parents.’ A homeless woman was standing outside the buffet with her hand out. Jack smiled at her and nearly jumped back at the gargoyle smile he received in return. “Spare a penny for a cup of tea, guvnor?”

“Come with me.” she looked concerned, begging and vagrancy was illegal in the county. One could be sentenced to hard-time for it; but he led her into the Buffet and seated her in a corner, away from polite people. Then he bought her tea, toast, a meat sandwich, and a cake before apologising that he had to leave to catch his train.

The Buffet Manageress was somewhat scandalised that she had such a woman in her establishment, but could do nothing about it since she was a legitimate customer; a couple sitting at the other end observed the act. The husband was a vicar and put out to have to see such a dirty woman there; his wife commented that they had just witnessed the act of a modern day Good Samaritan, which the vicar thought put him in his place, and that it would make a good sermon. He made a note of it. It did not change his nature though. It was far easier to commend his flock to be good Samaritans as he had witnessed than to take the lesson himself.

Jack sat on his seat in the carriage and smiled. Tomorrow he would start to explore, as part of wider piece of research on how much cross-county-border school attendance there was.

In his rooms, he began a missive describing all the possibilities: “I do not advocate any of these, I hope you understand. I am acting as a neutral educator, as you requested all information. I hope I may not shock you.” Now, how to describe it all? He started by mentioning the various places a man could take pleasure from a woman. Then he started again, realising that to be totally informative, he must also describe the possibilities of male to male and female to female pleasure. Briefly, he thought of the other possibilities. He had seen the sculpture of a nanny-goat being invaded by Pan, and some of his rugby friends had called opposing teams ‘sheep-shaggers’. Naturally he knew the story about Catherine The Great. No, he decided that congress with animals was probably going too far. Oh, what about single person satisfaction? What about multiple congresses? He had rumours of books by a French count that described all manner of multiple couplings. Well, perhaps she already knew of the first, and the second could wait.

He began again, describing each place a man or a woman could provide pleasure to a man. He started by describing manual approaches, then extended it to point out that a man or a woman could similarly stroke a woman. He covered all the places that a man or a woman might enjoy external stimulation “But here, to digress, I must point out that people are all different. One woman may love having her nipples sucked, nipped, or gently pinched. I knew a man who gained near full climax from sucking on a woman’s toes. We are all different, and require and enjoy different foods; likewise with stimulation.” He started a new page. “As to entering another body. A man and a woman can use their mouth as an entrance, as you know. The woman’s special entrance, let us use the correct terms. The vagina is only available where a woman is involved. The other ‘entrance’ is that which one uses to expel waste products. The anus is capable of expanding to accommodate a man’s member. It is available in a man or a woman, obviously. One point to note is that a woman’s vagina will generate some fluid to lubricate entrance; an anus will not, so it needs to have lubrication applied if less painful sexual congress is desired. Also this hole naturally stays locked tight shut; so it can be forced open, but can be tempted to open and loosen before entry. You may be unaware, but this hole is very sensitive. [He had forgotten his kisses of her own anus for the moment.] Stroking it, or kissing it can be very pleasant. I understand that men can find it pleasant to be invaded here, so I assume women may similarly find it pleasant. I hope I have not shocked you.”
