At dinner, I complained of a headache and lassitude and fancied I had caught a cold, or that some of the chemicals I had been making use of had affected me adversely. The scene was so exciting that I could not avoid frigging myself, but for the details, I must refer you to another letter. Again we had after dinner a repetition of music and singing, with somewhat more conversation, and I again retired to a solitary couch to sleep soundly. They had a long, long kiss of love, and I could see that his hand was reveling in all her secret charms. And rising she threw off her night-gown. I had not long to wait. As this was close to the door of communication with the bedroom, which opened against the bedroom window, this closet, unless the door of communication was quite shut, commanded a view of the bed and parts adjacent.
