Zitat
At length I am a bride! Lord Arthur was so pathetic, and appealed so earnestly to every sentiment of my love, that I could not do otherwise than entrust my happiness to his keeping, and agree to a speedy marriage. I need hardly tell you how the thoughts of becoming a bride fluttered my virgin heart, only to think of being naked in bed with a fine fellow like Arthur, who I only too truly guessed would be formidably armed with a Cupid’s spear commensurate with the very ominous bunch in his trousers, which always had a peculiar fascination to me. So rather more than a week ago we were made man and wife.
