Butler and Boy ~ Reading between the Lines ~ Page 1
GRATUITOUS BACKGROUND PORN
SCANDALOUS EROTIC PROSE
DELICATE SENSIBILITIES RUFFLED
This is an actual quote from Sins of the Cities of the Plain AKA The Recollections of a Mary-Ann, with Short Essays on Sodomy and Tribadism. It’s the oldest known gay erotic novel in english and if any of you read it you’ll find out that it’s very VERY porny. The victorians didn’t do things by half- I guess if you’re going to jail for indecency you might as well go the whole hog.
I wonder if James is reading that directly from the book, or if that’s a bit he’s memorized, because it seems to be *particularly* apt for quoting to Jefferson.
Haha I can totally see this happening
Somehow I suspect that James spent a while arranging himself in a satisfactory pose for this page.
I am not complaining.
Don’t mind me…just…LOUNGING on all this…Furniture…
I imagine he has been holding that page open for five minutes, posing there, just WAITING to reader it to poor Jefferson.
Or marking it to come back to at a later point…
(James lays seductively across settee awaiting his butler on that page we all know he just so happened to fall upon. And he is so candid about telling Jefferson what’s he’s reading why can’t he read normal books?)
The room looks lovely by the way. :)
“The victorians didn’t do things by half- I guess if you’re going to jail for indecency you might as well go the whole hog.”
That’s a great quote xD
I’m getting a lot of Venus in Furs vibes here, you guys (except the main characters are straight). anybody else? love me some Victorian sadomasochism!
hot. just. hot
Oh my gawd that chaise longue…
