PASSIONATE FRIENDSHIP
translated from Russian
I did not want to live with her, and I surely did not want to marry her either.
Yet thatÕs what Jill wanted. The minimum but essential effect of marriage
or cohabitation which she was impatiently awaiting, was ÒSo that somebody
will be waiting for me at home.Ó There is a lot of logic in this desire and
I sympathize with it because I wouldnÕt mind living with a woman Ð though
she would be completely different than Jill. I would like to come home to
a stone house on the seashore, where a beautiful woman, like Jill, would not
only have a wonderful dinner ready (unlike Jill who hates to cook) but would
also greet me warmly. The house would be neat and the woman would serve me,
happily gazing into my eyes.
Life with Jill would always be in a messy, cheap apartment. We would eat microwavable
dinners, her mood would swing ten times a day, and fucking Ð the main joy
of our long relationship Ð would turn into one-time quickies. No, she was
not fit to be a wife, and I was, probably, not fit to be a husband. I strongly
upheld my poor prospects as a husband so that JillÕs dignity would not be
hurt. If a man told a woman that she would not make it as a ballet dancer,
she could accept that, without hard feelings. But God save a man from telling
a woman that she would not make a good wife! The talent a woman needs to be
a successful wife is far greater than that needed by a ballet dance; to tell
a woman that she canÕt fill this job is the most painful way a man can hurt
a female.
Eventually, with any woman, the relationship reaches the point where no amount
of attention nor magnificent gifts will cure her of her frustrating and irritable
desire for marriage. For women, the only completely serious proof of love
is marriage, and with this, she harbors a secret wish for victory over the
resisting lover.
Every month JillÕs unhappiness grew. After several orgasms (fortunately after,
because if we began talking prior to fucking there would be no fucking Ð thus
no orgasms) the inevitable conversation was beginning about futility of our
relationship. Her mood was becoming dark. I quickly dressed and left. With
great relief and happiness I rushed home and congratulated myself on my new
victory. When a man fucks a woman without money and without moving toward
marriage, a battle won. Indeed, a woman in the depth of her heart despises
a man who marries her because marriage, for a man, is an act of weakness.
When he marries, a man yields to the demands of society instead of following
his own desires. If the man does not marry the woman, she begins to hate him,
and if he does marry her, she despises him. As we know, loving is much closer
to hating then it is to despising.
I advised Jill, in a friendly way, to look for a man who would fulfill her
marriage dreams, and that while looking for him, I suggested she should continue
fucking me. It was sweet with her, and I confess that I didnÕt look forward
to the day I would be without her but it was actually frightening to imagine
that one day she may be the only woman I was with. Our original relationship
was based on assumed monogamy, just as Jill wanted it. I soon began suggesting
to her that monogamy and faithfulness do not necessarily prove love. These
days everyone admits adulteries bloom in their fantasies like flowers in the
tropics. The task of a society is to prevent these fantasies from becoming
reality. And, since there are such fantasies and desires, wouldnÕt it be most
natural thing to attempt to satisfy it for the one you love? The true love
tends to destroy monogamy because monogamy contradicts the fantasies of lovers
and thus inhibits their sex life. If you demand faithfulness from your partner,
it is egotism. If you force yourself to be faithful, it is self-torture. True
monogamy is put in a man by nature. For example, with true monogamy, if a
dozen naked women are put in front of you, you will simply select the woman
you want to come into. This presents the singularity of a woman, because you
canÕt come simultaneously in several; this is the true essence of monogamy.
In response to my theory Jill tried to demolish me with the word ÒcynicÓ.
Women hate cynicism, I thought silently, because with its help, a man manages
to avoid marriage.
Jill was awfully jealous. She was in rage just thinking, that I might copulate
with someone else. As for me, when I imagined her sleeping with someone, it
didnÕt worry me Ð the main thing was that she must be ready to spread her
legs any time I wished. I did not care what she did when I wasnÕt with her.
Furthermore I felt unexpected admiration when I thought of her with another
man. I imagined watching her from a distance, the pleasure she enjoys, the
familiar movements of hips, craving for orgasm. I experienced great justifiable
pleasure from these fantasies. In psychoanalytic annals such feelings are
diagnosed as latent homosexuality. Let them make this diagnosis while I enjoy
myself!
Jill constantly suspected that I was unfaithful Ð not without reason. Although
I always slept with her when she wanted it, I also had at least one more lover.
Women demand faithfulness because it is easier to control a partner by blackmailing
him when he becomes dependent on only one cunt.
The most torturing feeling Jill experienced (as many women do) was when she
assumed that I just wanted to fuck her. Women feel unhappy either when nobody
wants to fuck them, or when men want only to fuck them.
Nothing would dispel JillÕs feelings; neither my faultless assistance in her
day to day chores, nor our mutual interest in art and our successfully working
together in this field. Nothing convinced her that my interest in her beyond
her genitals. Jill would only accept marriage as my proof of love for her.
Once it became absolutely clear to Jill that I would not marry her, she began,
with my provocation, to terminate our relationship, to be free for another
man. It is customary that when a woman starts to copulate with someone else,
in her mind she feels it is unfair to continue fucking her previous lover.
Jill wanted to be fair. As for me, I told her that I was not jealous, that
I was still her friend, and that I wished her the best, including her sexual
pleasure even if not with me. The important thing for me was that she stop
perceiving me as a potential husband. I want to say to a chick, ÒSit on my
cock, but stay off my back.Ó
Relationship between lovers involve the womanÕs growing demands on a man which
leading to the ultimate demand of marriage. Yet, as always in times past,
this demand, even when she gets what he wants, ends up creating nothing but
shit. WomanÕs feelings are not controlled by love, because when you love,
only one desire exists Ð to be with the one you love under any conditions.
If her growing demands are not met, she will decisively trash this ÒloveÓ
which is not working.
We began seeing each other once a week instead of several times so that she
had time for her search. I questioned her about her adventures. At first Jill
was too embarrassed to describe them to me, but as time went on she began
to tell me of her search. When she saw that I was erotically inquiring and
not pained by her stories, she completely loosened up. A woman feels as much
shame as a lover allows her.
At first it seemed there was nothing much to tell Ð the guys were not interesting
at all and nothing went further then kissing. Eventually Jill told me that
she had met Ted, a wealthy man of forty five. He treated her remarkably well
and after several dates they made plans to move in together within a few weeks.
They also began to talk about getting married in the near future.
ÒSomething I could not get from you for years, IÕve got from him in two weeksÓ
said she victoriously, ÒI had zero confidence in myself and now it has gone
to incredible heights.Ó Ted sent her cards, flowers, gifts and other signs
of affection at work. ÒHe tries very hardÓ Jill says with cold observation
concerning the feelings of the victim falling into the trap of a cunt.
ÒWell, what kind of lover is he?Ó I ask.
Here Jill hesitated, ÒIt is so odd to talk about it with you...Ó
ÒDonÕt be embarrassed, I canÕt be indifferent to whether or not my girl is
satisfied. Did you come with him?Ó
I knew that she has a hard time coming with a new man, that she has to adjust,
to adapt to him. A man moves from orgasm to comfort but a woman Ð from comfort
to orgasm. Poor women Ð one can come only on the back, another, only on the
stomach, the third, only laying on her side and so on. A man however can come
if he is upside down, or even while running Ð and all that with no effort
at all.
ÒNo, I have not come yet,Ó confessed Jill.
ÒBut does he know what to do?Ó
ÒI have not figure that out yet. We have been together just three times and
the first two times I was totally drunk.Ó
ÒNow do you understand why it has been considered indecent for a woman to
get drunk?Ó I asked.
ÒWhy?Ó she said.
ÒBecause it is difficult for a drunk woman to come. So men who wanted to save
their efforts established moral norms convenient for themselves.Ó Jill went
on with my thought, ÒAnd for the same reason it is masculine for a man to
drink because when he had enough liquor he gets a hard on and can not come.Ó
ÒYou see, how smart you are Ð you understand everything. However, we know
that this law did not work with Ted. LetÕs get together, I bet you are horny
and you will tell me everything in detail. Are you busy tonight?Ó
ÒNo, I am not busy. Yes, I want to get together with you; Ted and I didnÕt
promise anything to each other, and there is no commitment,Ó Jill said to
justify copulation with me.
Awaiting our date, I felt extreme excitement and desire. The reason for this
was my knowledge that another man fucks her, and she cannot come with him,
then she is full of sexual tension in spite of masturbation which IÕm sure
she used to release this tension. I imagined her so clearly with opened legs,
pressing TedÕs ass to herself, making her favorite movements with hips, pushing
her tongue into his mouth as she does it with me. I heard her moans getting
louder and then when his orgasm ripened too soon, I saw JillÕs face become
frustrated and mean. I never saw her with such a face while we were in bed
together, but I saw it too much often during our conversations about our future,
or rather the absence of our future.
At last this Ted falls away, helpless and powerless, and I am rushing toward
her following fresh, wet traces of love. Jill, with excitement, grabs my cheeks
and rhythmically presses her clitoris to the base of my prick. I feel special
wetness in her vagina because of the sperm of a man who has accomplished his
job and who is sitting and watching us Ð he learns. At last I feel how Jill
stiffens, she stretches as a string, and with moan of relief starts pushing
her hips indicating the conquered peak. I come, and she presses me close with
all her force. I donÕt pull out my prick, but stay inside until convulsions
of walls slow until the pulsating becomes less and less, and finally stops.
As Jill opens her eyes, grateful happiness shines. Then I slide out and my
spermatozoa continue the fight with other manÕs spermatozoa; if they win,
this would be PirrÕs victory because Jill is on the pill.
I find myself in front of JillÕs house. She opens the front door with embarrassment
on her face Ð this is the first time we have been together with knowledge
that we both have lovers. I told her about my lover to make her jealous. Jill
has the brain of a maniac. If you present her with a threatening thought,
she will endlessly build fantasies around it. This will send her spinning
in the a circle of Òmaniac ideasÓ which cause her great pain and doubt. She
is unable to jump out of this circle until there is a new thought which she
grabs.
I walked through her door, and having been deprived of her faithfulness, rushed
onto her body Ð lips, neck, ears, breast, belly, and everything below. Our
passion was stronger than when we first met. When we were first together there
was the stress of learning each other, the trials and errors of bringing pleasure
to each other. This had the aftertaste of diffidence, doubt in how right our
caresses had been. Now after so many years, we knew for sure what we needed
and our movements and caresses were precise, right to the point, and brought
extreme pleasures. We threw aside our clothes and lay in the smelly mixture
of caresses. Her anus was particular sensitive, and I paid touching attention
to it. This is the advantage of the length of our liaison, which I wanted
to preserve disregarding any new lovers, either hers and mine. At first Jill
did not accept this idea, but now she appreciated it as well.
As we rested, she told me that during the first copulation with Ted, he entered
her ass. This encouraged Jill as a promise of sophistication in love. A little
later he sensed that there was something wrong, so he pulled out and moved
into her vagina. (ÒHe even did not wash his cock! This infuriates me. He will
give her germs!Ó) Never again did he show any interest to her anus. Obviously
to have anal intercourse the first time you are with a woman you must be like
de Sade with domineering anal inclinations. Thus, I made a profound conclusion,
and Jill, grinning agreed with it: she had thrown her legs up too high, and
Ted missed and pushed in her anus. Fortunately it is so worn out that it is
easy to get in. Ted came fast without taking care of Jill and fell asleep.
They had four whole dates prior to going to bed. On the fourth date they talked
for three hours in her apartment. He concluded the conversation with a hopeful
statement that they would begin sexual relationship very soon. At this point,
to JillÕs great disappointment, he got up and left. On their next date Jill
took control and they ended up in bed. However, to accomplish this she had
to drink a great deal.
At this point, I carelessly throw into conversation that my new, 28 years
old, who is married and has a child, experienced an her first orgasm with
me and that now she is desperate to copulate with me day and night, preferably
non-stop. I see Jill smiling, but her smile is painfully wry. I see how this
thought thrown at her has caught fire in her imagination and is rushing through
her brain. I pore oil on the fire by saying that my lover had been so innocent
that she thought she was experiencing an orgasm when she was merely getting
wet. Jill laughs with trembling lips.
After our talk, we entertain each other for the fourth time. Ted comes only
once a night and even does not even make an attempt in the morning Ð he jumps
up from the bed and rushes into the shower. Jill asked Ted if he comes more
then once a night. He did not say ÒyesÓ or ÒnoÓ but started beating around
the bush saying that time must pass and that they will soon adjust to each
other. When he does came and Jill does not, he tells her than she is resisting
him and it is her fault that she does not come.
ÒWell he isnÕt a stud, is he,Ó I noted with consolation.
In a business-like and yet dreaming manner, Jill said ÒIf I did come with
him, then it would be possible to develop relationship. At this point I have
no desire to put any effort into it.Ó
Now with only a little nudging on my part she tells me all the details turning
both of us on. She says that TedÕs prick is perfectly smooth, silky, not like
mine which is bumpy. It is easier for her to have his in her mouth but in
other orifices, bumpiness helps. ÒNo wonder,Ó I explain to her, Òhe hardly
used his prick, therefore itÕs almost brand new and my prick has been doing
hard work so long it is covered with calluses.Ó
Ted, while fucking, tends to lift JillÕs legs up, whereas she can only climax
when she puts her legs down and stretches them. When she would put her legs
down, Ted thought that she did not want any more and came with his conscience
clear. He was unable to solve this paradox Ð that the position allowing the
best accessibility to women, legs spread widely and knees bent, is not necessarily
the position which allows a woman the greatest delight.
The phone rings. Jill does not want to pick it up. The answering machine kicks
in. She always listened to it in my presence thus demonstrating that no man
would call her with incriminating words. Indeed there had been only girlfriends
or business calls on the machine. Now she does not hide that she has another
lover. The voice on the answering machine says: ÒJill, this is Ted. I am very
anxious to see you. IÕll call you every half hour.Ó
We both freeze our movements, listening to TedÕs timely message. Understandingly
we smile at each other and continue our movement toward orgasm, which comes
first to Jill and then to me. After this time together, it will be difficult
for her to come with Ted. I have no doubt that she will invite him over after
I leave Ð I want her to invite him. Let her think of me and try in vain to
come with Ted!
I get up and put on my clothes. Jill begins to make her bed, something she
never did before prior to my leaving. This means she will definitely invite
Ted, and that he will have no suspicion, she must not leave the bed undone.
When we part Jill says in a teasing way, ÒHave a happy fuck!Ó and I reply,
ÒYou too. Invite Ted and fuck him.Ó I support her intention with a sincere
and well-wishing voice. Let her feel my friendly care, so that their liaison
be preserved, so that Ted will marry her and Jill will get all that was under-supplied
by me Ð a man awaiting her at home.

AT THE EXAM TABLE WITH STIRRUPS
translated from Russian
Glen discovered that the only way toward a cunt, was in the field of medicine
Ð gynecology. He had no faith that any woman would ever become interested in
him. Since childhood his face had been covered with disgusting spots of eczema.
People avoided looking into his eyes, and looked at his forehead Ð the only
area the eczema spared. ThatÕs why he was a virgin until he was 35. He was terrified
by prostitutes because they were the incarnation of accessibility to women which
he craved but also feared. Glen justified his fear of prostitutes citing the
danger contracting a venereal diseases. It was quite enough for him to have
eczema, and any other illness, even simple cold, produced a real horror in him.
Last several years, when in public Glen wore a white mask. He wore it in clinic
explaining it as a hygienic considerations. The mask hid his face exposing only
his forehead. This trick helped him to conceal the disease from his patients.
Because of his profession and his constant sexual hunger, Glen perceived women
primarily as genitals. A woman became a symbol meaning cunt. For instance, when
he saw women walking along the street he thought, ÒThey are taking their cunts
for a promenade.Ó
Gail, on of GlenÕs patients, loved to visit gynecologists. When she first realized
this attraction she convinced herself that the reason for it was concern for
her health. However, gradually she had to admit that the pleasure she felt during
the gynecological examination by the doctor was the only reason she relished
these visits. Gail did not go to a woman gynecologist. She did not visit the
same male doctor more than once, but rather changed from one to another as she
became disappointed in them just like an ordinary men. Gail was only attracted
to men who were gynecologists. For it was only a gynecologist who could give
her the order to take off her cloths below the waist and to lay on the exam
table with her feet in the stirrups. In other words, only gynecologist could
tell her to spread her legs and at the same time charm her by saying so with
absolute directness and self-confidence. At first Gail was ashamed that she
got wet right away, but soon she began to want the doctor to notice her wetness
and to respond to it in manly way.
She was drawn in by any gynecologistÕs professional experience in dealing with
female genitals. She knew that he would not look away from her spread legs as
many man did who witnessed her in the same position. And, as a consequence of
this experience and shamelessness, she anticipated that a gynecologist has sexual
skill Ð who else, if not a gynecologist, knows where the clitoris is and how
much pleasure it gives to a woman. Each time she lay on an exam table with stirrups,
it was with anticipation that the doctor in such a convenient disposition would
cling with his mouth to her openness and bring her to orgasm with precise hitting
of his tongue. However, this was not happening, and Gail consistently was making
appointments with one gynecologist after another.
Glen was probably the personification of her dream. He possessed undeniable
power over women and any one of them split her legs in front of him. But here,
alas, everything stopped. If is difficult to think of more sophisticated torture.
For the majority of men the main obstacles in conquering a woman are her cloths
and her legs pushed together. Once she is undressed and her legs are spread,
a copulation is granted. For Glen though, everything was reversed Ð a woman
undressed and spread her legs without any resistance. However, under these professional
circumstances copulation between a doctor and a patient became a crime.
Glen fantasized that each of his patient was his lover. He came to hate the
rubber gloves he had to put on during the examinations. He avoided looking at
the womenÕs faces, because he did not want attractiveness or unattractiveness
to influence his attitude toward womanÕs genitals. When a patient relaxed, sprawling
in the exam table with stirrups, her body and face were not visible and only
the cunt was opening to his eyes, nose, lips, tongue. Every woman was beautiful
to him for the sake of her cunt. It was not only the beauty but also the tenderness,
the softness and in all the female features which a woman may not possess above
the waist.
With delight he inserted two fingers into the vagina to check its consistence,
and pressing her belly with other hand he then caressed her uterus. His nostrils
widen trying to catch smell of vagina, which was, to his great regret, usually
suppressed by the careful washing what women did prior to their visit to him.
He always examined the uterus through the rectum as well, even when this was
not needed for medical reasons. Many women did not empty their stomachs before
this exam as it was unexpected. Therefore, he often rested his finger against
fecal matter gathered in the rectum. When this happened, he quickly brought
his finger to his nose and made several short inhalations. After the examination
he always came to the same conclusion, not saying it aloud of course, ÒFit for
fucking.Ó
His member was erect during the time he attended his patients, and after the
last patient, he went to the rest room and masturbated. Often he did it two
or three times as the day passed. GlenÕs work was his sex life.
Gail came to visit Glen after a referral from her girlfriend. One of the most
important subjects for Gail in her conversations with girlfriends was, naturally,
their gynecologists. Beginning such conversation was always easy. She would
ask if a girlfriend was happy with her gynecologist and almost immediately Gail
was telling her how unhappy she was with hers. Though se was not specific, she
indicated that he was unprofessional. She inquired about age, attractiveness,
and the medical skills of her girlfriendÕs gynecologist, and then asked for
his office phone number . Glen not only interested her because he was a gynecologist
but he also intrigued her. Her girlfriend told Gail that she had never seen
his face as he wore a mask during her examinations.
Gail always went to gynecologists with the same complaint: pain in the pelvis
because she was unable to reach an orgasm. She insisted that her clitoris was
too small and this was the reason for her sufferings. A doctor examined her
and insisted that her clitoris is not small, but rather big. Then she asked
the gynecologist to massage the clitoris and to show how her how to do it properly
because when she masturbated, she thought she must be doing something wrong.
At this point gynecologist asks questions which Gail already has answers for.
Thus, he obtains moral right to conduct the experiment. Not all of them used
this right, but some begun massaging in an attempt to teach Gail what she was
perfectly aware of herself. There were several doctors who suggested she use
a vibrator, but she refused. As the gynecologist began massaging the clitoris,
she would came right away, habitually suppressing moans rushing out of her so
that a nurse or patients outside would not hear her. Not a single gynecologist
dared to cling to her with his tongue. It must be stated that Gail was a pretty
woman, and that the doctors were concealing their admiration the same way she
was concealing her moans. She did noticed their admiration though. Occasionally
a gynecologists would ask her for a date, but she refused because beyond the
office they became ordinary men to her, and were not able to excite her.
When she came to Glen, he as all the others, was immediately impressed with
her beauty. However, the mask hid blushing of his cheeks. His forehead was serene
and pale as usually.
After the preliminary question and answer part of the examination, he told Gail
to undress below the waist and to lay on the exam table. She obeyed with excitement.
She was the first of GlenÕs patients with such symptoms, and he began trembling.
When Gail asked him to massage her clitoris, he turned his head away from her
genitals as they begged him for pleasure.
ÒDo you want to experience an orgasm from my massage?Ó he asked as coldly as
he could.
ÒI would be so grateful to youÓ, Gail said casually.
The miracle opened in front of GlenÕs eyes; it overlapped with the beauty of
GailÕs face.
He suddenly thought that he could massage her clitoris with his tongue instead
of his lubricated finger and that she would not notice the difference if his
lips and face did not touch her. The decision was made instantly: it was the
first, and quite possibly last chance. To accomplish this he had to take off
his mask. As he approached the miracle with his tongue, Gail recognized immediately
that it was not his finger and she cherished gynecologists valor and the pleasure
he was giving her. She gripped his head with her hands and immediately pressed
it to her so that Glen did not have time to hide his tongue in his mouth. His
tongue was pressed against his upper lip. His face, covered with spots of eczema,
was drowned in magic he longed for. Glen discharged simultaneously with Gail.
He had not come to his senses yet when he heard the GailÕs scream. As she sat
on the table she saw GlenÕs awful face. He quickly pulled on his mask in a hurry.
ÒI apologize for my ugliness,Ó he said bitterly. The nurse opened the door and
inquisitively looked at Glen and then at Gail.
ÒNothingÕs wrongÓ, said Gail, Òthe doctor just pressed a spot that is painful.Ó
ÒEverythingÕs fine,Ó confirmed Glen to the nurse and she disappeared behind
the door.
Gail got off the table and started to put on her clothes.
ÒThank you and forgive me,Ó Glen said.
Ò And you forgive me,Ó she said quietly, not looking at Glen.
Gail dressed and left without a word. Glen was overwhelmed by horror Ð what
if she files a complaint and they would take away my license and with it all
my life.
He spent a sleepless night contemplating how to make sure that she would not
complain: to go to her place and offer her money or simply kill her. These thoughts
were mixed with acute pleasure recalling his first mans, not medical, contact
with a cunt. He wondered if it would be possible to talk Gail into having real
copulation! Glen tried to think of a way to convince her to go on a date with
him.
Gail couldnÕt sleep either. The fear of GlenÕs awful face quickly disappeared
and recollections of the pleasure she felt began to dominate. At last she had
found the right gynecologist. If she did not see his face everything would be
perfect. ÒWhat kind of disease is it, is it contagious?Ó she wondered with curiosity
but not with fear.
The next day Glen looked through that days patientÕs charts and saw Gails. She
was scheduled for the very end of his day. Glen was glad and scared at the same
time. Had she decided to continue her ÒcureÓ or was she coming to get more evidence
to sue him. May be she would show up with a policeman or a detective or she
may possibly be wired.
When she entered the examining room Glen did not make up his mind how to talk
to her and commanded her as usual, ÒUndress below the waist and get on the table.Ó
Gail was afraid that Glen would apologize again and start a futile conversation.
However, what he did say again subdued her and she joyfully submitted. It seemed
to her that he smiled, but the mask did not allow her to be sure. Gail not only
lay with legs spread, she also moved them a little, back and forth, as if she
was in a rocking chair.
ÒI wonÕt scare you again,Ó Glen said, Òdo you want to repeat the procedure?Ó
ÒYes,Ó Gail said decidedly.
Everything happened wonderful for both of them. Glen immediately pulled on his
mask so that Gail did not see his face.
ÒI want to invite you for a dinner at my place,Ó Gail said while dressing.
ÒThank you, when?Ó Glen shivered.
ÒAre you free tomorrow night?Ó
ÒYes, IÕm free.Ó
Glen arrived, and Gail meeting him at the door, let him in.
There were two small tables in the dining room. A padded stool was at each of
them, but positioned in such a way that when Glen and Gail sat, their backs
were to each other and they could touch.
ÒYour mask turns me on and reminds me that you are my gynecologist so I donÕt
want to see you without it... ThatÕs why the tables are arranged this way,Ó
Gail said.
Glen took it as an exquisite tact. Gail brought food and Glen had to take his
mask off. Gail did not see his face but pressed her back against his.
When the meal was finished, Gail got up and asked Glen, ÒWould you mind to be
my house doctor?Ó
ÒIt will be a great honor!Ó replied Glen enthusiastically.
ÒThen letÕs begin,Ó Gail said as she began moving out of the room directing
Glen with her hand. She opened the door of the adjacent room and entered, inviting
her doctor.
In the middle of spacious room the exam table with stirrups was positioned.
