:18:05
Marquis ?
:18:13
- Well- Did I frighten you ?
:18:16
Frighten me ? That's a good one.
I'm twice as quick as you are.

:18:22
I suppose you want to know
about that silly book of yours.

:18:25
What about my book ?
:18:29
It sold like the devil.
:18:32
Then they started
burning it.

:18:35
That's the peril of composing
such incendiary prose.

:18:42
If only these coins purchased
your other talents too.

:18:47
There's something else
I want from you.

:18:50
You've already
stolen my heart...

:18:54
as well as another prominent organ
south of the equator.

:18:59
Your publisher says I'm not to leave
without another manuscript.

:19:02
I've just the story.
:19:08
Inspired by these
very surroundings.

:19:17
The unhappy tale
of a virginal laundry lass,

:19:23
a darling of the lower wards where
they entomb the criminally insane.

:19:26
- Is it awfully violent ?
- Most assuredly.

:19:29
- Is it terribly erotic ?
- Fiendishly so.

:19:32
- But it comes with a price.
:19:36
A kiss for each page.
:19:40
Must I administer them directly
or might I blow them ?

:19:43
The price, my coquette,
is every bit as firm... as I am.

:19:49
Oh, you.
:19:51
You talk the same
as you write.
