'From his eyes those of my first lover still seemed to gaze at me. And when I counseled him on making love to other women I delighted so in choosing my words that, in my own mind, they were addressed rather to my first lover than to him.

"Wonderful!" he cried, & his voice was resonant. "Seven years old, & she sleeps with boys already! MY blood! MY flesh! Where is she, the golden darling, that I may kiss her?"' ....*clutches pearls*

'Nicolas Gedouin was my lover when, according to the calendar, I was eighty years old, & I firmly resolved that this time should really be the last.' ....Niiiiice. :D
