What would it be, then, if I had not known corruption?
To a young girl, to every unperverted young girl, it is an act extremely unnatural, just as it is to children.

My sister married, when very young, a man twice her own age, and who was utterly corrupt.

I remember how astonished we were the night of her wedding, when, pale and covered with tears, she fled from her husband, her whole body trembling, saying that for nothing in the world would she tell what he wanted of her.
"You say natural?
It is natural to eat; that is a pleasant, agreeable function, which no one is ashamed to perform from the time of his birth.
No, it is not natural.

A pure young girl wants one thing,--children.
Children, yes, not a lover.".
