"Here, you pump! Let me have a drink!" Will took over the pump while first Gid and then Frank drank their fill. Next they filled their canteens. Then they found a bucket and took water to the watering trough for their horses. Finally, they dragged another trough over to the pump so they could pump water directly into it. When it was full, they stepped back to look at what they had done. Ten thousand points of light danced on the undulating surface. "There you go, big brother. It's ready for your bath." "No," Will said. "It was your idea, and you’re the one who fixed the pump. You go first." Gid smiled broadly, then began stripping out of his clothes. Gid had finished his bath, and Will, with his cigar tilted at a jaunty angle, was sitting in the tub toward the end of his own bath, when the three riders arrived. "Here they come," Frank said, shielding his eyes. "The fella on the right is Tim. Don't know the other two." Gid came around to stand with Frank as they waited for the riders. Will didn't get out of the water. "Wasn't sure you would be here," Tim said to Frank. "Word I got was that you got yourself throwed in jail and was goin' to get hung." "I was in jail," Frank replied. He smiled. "But my two pards here busted me out." "These the boys you was talkin' about? The Crocketts?"

“maid asked anxiously. Leslie sighed. “Never mind,” she said. “I’m wide awake now. I might as well get dressed and join him.” The maid smiled at the welcome news and withdrew, and Leslie began to select her dress. She found a pink dress with deceptively simple lines, and with lacework on the bodice which was incredibly delicate and beautiful. Then she took pains getting dressed, purposely taking as long as possible, to show Charles that though he might not be a man one said no to, she was a woman who could tell anyone to wait until her own good time. Charles stood as soon as Leslie stepped into the dining room, and the look of pleasure on his face was ample reward for the pains Leslie had taken in getting dressed. “Good morning,” Charles said. “I’m glad you could join me for breakfast.” Charles was wearing an open-necked shirt and no”

“Now they emerged upon a great prairie, an expanse of rumpled short-grass plains with occasional clumps of trees dimly seen in the distance, like tiny islands in a sea.

“There flows between all men and all women a river. As men and women begin to know each other sexually, they are on opposite sides of the river. But as they grow in knowledge, they come into the river until finally both are in midstream. It is when both are in midstream and the river of pleasure surrounds them that sexual pleasure is at its greatest. “There are many things that can put men and women in the middle of this stream.
