May's Account of Her Introduction to the Art of Love…

You remember the morning you took leave of me, I had to walk a mile to meet the coach. John Cox, my sister Jane's intended husband, came to start me off, and he carried my box on his shoulder as we walked across the fields and down to the crossroads where the coach takes up passengers. John told me he and Jane were soon to be married, and he said her belly was so big that it looked beautiful. I asked him what made it so big and he laughed as he said: "Why, Susey, because I have made a baby inside of it to be sure, you little goose!"

May's Account of Her Introduction to the Art of Love…

After supper he said: "Susey, if you love me, show me your garters." "Oh, Uncle!" I replied blushingly, "would that be decent and proper?" "You are an ungrateful girl to refuse the first trifling request I make," he said.
"Not ungrateful, Uncle," I replied; "see here, please examine my pretty garters," and I stretched out both my legs as I continued sitting in my chair.
Uncle was on his knees between my legs in a moment, and put his hands first on one garter and then on the other, unclasping them and kissing my thighs just above the stockings.
