The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence: the doctor: the latter being amused. Of course there is really nothing
in it. Humanity has always had a strange avidity for unusual sexual
postures, and if a man likes to use his wife, as Benvenuto Cellini
says, 'in the Italian way', well that is a matter of taste. But I had
hardly expected our game-keeper to be up to so many tricks. No doubt
Bertha Coutts herself first put him up to them. In any case, it is a
matter of their own personal squalor, and nothing to do with anybody
else.
However, everybody listens: as I do myself. A dozen years ago, common
decency would have hushed the thing. But common decency no longer
exists, and the colliers' wives are all up in arms and unabashed in
Lady Chatterley's Lover |
