Higgins and Pickering are sitting in the library, comparing their experiences in India. Thantasy: [Liza] Professor Higgins, a young woman is here to see you. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Show her to the parlor please, Eliza. Thantasy: [Liza] Right away. Thantasy: [Liza] <Exits, returns.> Thantasy: [Liza] A Miss Ophelia Hampton to see you sir. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Ah, Miss Hampton, I'm pleased to meet you at last. (To Liza.) That will be all for now, Miss Doolittle. Thantasy: [Liza] <Bows and leaves, closing the door.> Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Very slight of build, pale, blond, whispy hair, very pale watery blue eyes.> Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Taking her hand briefly.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] And I am, um, very pleased to meet, um, you. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ah. Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Looks about the room wistfully.> Cardaniel80: [Higgins] This is Colonel Pickering. You may say anything you would say to me in front of him. Cardaniel80: [Pickering] Charmed to be in your presence, my dear. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Pleased to meet you, Colonel. My father was, um, in government service also. Cardaniel80: [Pickering] Was he indeed? Military? Thantasy: [Ophelia] No, he was, um, an advisor to the crown. Thantasy: [Ophelia] On, um, financial matters. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Hampton, yes, I've heard the name. Cardaniel80: [Pickering] My word! Very impressive. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes. He was. Thantasy: [Ophelia] He's, um, gone now, of course. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] I'm sorry to hear that. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Got tangled up in a curtain, um. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Raises eyebrows, taken aback a bit.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] In any event, I suppose you would like to know why I have, um, come to see you. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] I know in general why people seek appointments with me, but I'd be pleased to hear the details of your case, Miss Hampton. Thantasy: [Ophelia] I had a very, very dear, um, friend named Gwendoline. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] We've met a Gwendoline quite recently, haven't we Colonel? Cardaniel80: [Pickering] Yes, charming woman. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes, I, um, know of her visit. Thantasy: [Ophelia] She and I were, um, not much of a match, as, um, far as personalities are concerned. Thantasy: [Ophelia] She was rather much more, um, outgoing than I am. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Much more, um, robust, vigorous. Cardaniel80: [Pickering] You speak of her in the past tense. Thantasy: [Ophelia] I have every reason to believe that is, um, appropriate. Thantasy: [Ophelia] For all her rather, um, adventurous nature and my, um, quietude, we did have some few, um, interests in common. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] I'm sure your friendship was based on mutual interests. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes, um. Thantasy: [Ophelia] You are, um, familiar with Shakespeare, Professor, Colonel? Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Smiling.) Will and I have an acquaintance, yes. Thantasy: [Ophelia] You know his line, "What is in a name"? From, ROMEO AND JULIET? Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Indeed! "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Thantasy: [Ophelia] In my case, there is, um, a great deal in my name. My blessed mother was thoroughly enchanted with Shakespeare, and wanted desperately to name, um, a daughter after one of his characters. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] No doubt her excellent taste was an advantage in raising you. Thantasy: [Ophelia] But so many of the names had, um, unpleasant characters attached to them. Cleopatra, rather a tramp. Juliet, um, flighty and irresponsible. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Well, yes, perhaps she could have picked a comedy.... Thantasy: [Ophelia] Many of the characters in the comedies had, um, awkward, um, Mediterrainian sounding names. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] I believe you are going to imply there is a reason she chose Ophelia. Thantasy: [Ophelia] She wanted a rather sweet, um, darling type. Feminine, not pushy like Portia. In any event, um, I'm afraid that my mother rather shaped my character for me with her, um, choice of name. I am sweet and gentle, but also, um, rather unfortunate in love. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] I perceive you have grown to be pleasantly feminine. Thantasy: [Ophelia] The man upon whom I have set my heart has, um, preoccupations. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Love leaves many people saddened. Thantasy: [Ophelia] I should say rather, um, the men who have caught my fancy. Thantasy: [Ophelia] For I have repeatedly been drawn to the, um, melancholy type. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Do they know of your feelings? Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes. One of them told me to go to a nunnery. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Um... Cardaniel80: [Higgins] I'm sure many less melancholy men must have been drawn to such a charming woman as yourself. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Well, um, I tend to ignore the, um, passionate types. But in addition to my, um, misfortunes in love.... Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Yes? Thantasy: [Ophelia] there have been other, um, unfortunate, um, consequences. Cardaniel80: [Pickering] Tell us about them, if you may. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes, um... Thantasy: [Ophelia] As you may recall, um, Ophelia, um, dies in the play. Do you recall her, um, manner of death? Cardaniel80: [Higgins] The poor woman is drowned. Thantasy: [Ophelia] AHHHHHHH! Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Has spontaneous orgasm.> Cardaniel80: [Pickering] Miss Hampton, are you quite all right? Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oh, um, yes. Um. Very fine... Thantasy: [Ophelia] Thank you for your, um, concern. Cardaniel80: (Higgins and Pickering look at each other with raised eyebrows.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] I have, you see, from my earliest, um, memories, been preoccupied with the thought of a, um... Cardaniel80: [Higgins] I feel you may have some concerns about... drowning? Thantasy: [Ophelia] AAAAAA!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Sorry about that. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Watery demise. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ahhhhh!! Cardaniel80: [Pickering] (Moves to comfort her, decides not to.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] The very mention of the word, um, rather, um, excites me. Thantasy: [Ophelia] I have seen artistic portraits of, um, the character floating in the water. And my, um, identification with her has always given me, um, pleasure. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] If you could tell me how I can help.... Thantasy: [Ophelia] Gwendoline, um, intimated to me that you sometimes, um, assist women in achieving certain, um, ambitions... Cardaniel80: [Higgins] I believe I understand you would like my help with... water? Thantasy: [Ophelia] You see, the character Ophelia probably committed, um, suicide. Thantasy: [Ophelia] I have certain, um, moral reservations about that. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] I am beginning to see. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Also, I, um, have certain other, um, concerns. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Please tell me any concerns you may have. Thantasy: [Ophelia] I have mentioned my, um, unfortunate experiences in love. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Yes, many women who come to me have been so afflicted. Thantasy: [Ophelia] I am sorry to say that all of my, um, erotic adventures... have been, um, self-induced... Cardaniel80: (Higgins and Pickering both nod gravely.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] except for a few, um, occasions when dear Gwen came to my, um, assistance. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] She was such a thoughtful woman. Thantasy: [Ophelia] I would like for my, um, demise to be accompanied by, um... Thantasy: [Ophelia] erotic excitement. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Smiles.) Do you believe I can provide such a service? Thantasy: [Ophelia] I am hopeful. Yes, at the, um, hands of a man or, um, men. Cardaniel80: (Pickering smiles.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] You see, what I desire would be rather, um, difficult to arrange. I'm afraid my, um, melancholy gentlemen are of no use at all. And I am rather, um, at a loss to imagine, um... how one might... Thantasy: [Ophelia] AAAAAAAA!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] drown while being stimulated. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Would you prefer that the details be left to myself and Colonel Pickering? Thantasy: [Ophelia] I am sure that men of, um, imagination, could devise something, um, ingenious. Some method through which I might, um... Thantasy: [Ophelia] Aaaaaaaa!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] drown at the peak of arousal. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Looking at Pickering) I am sure we could find something that would meet your requirements. Thantasy: [Ophelia] I thank you for your, um, interest in my case. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] You realize there will be certain... legal requirements? Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes, well, um, I know little of such things. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Perhaps you could draft an, um, instrument for me to sign. And, of course, there is the matter of, um, payment. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] I know a solicitor who has helped several of my clients... if you like, I can direct you to him. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Please do. I shall also ask him to arrange some, um, means by which funds may be transferred to you. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Writes a name and address on a scrap of paper.) If you would like, you may return to this house in three days, after Mr. Grayson has helped with the formalities. Thantasy: [Ophelia] AHH!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Three days. Thantasy: [Ophelia] How very, very nice. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Indeed. Is that satisfactory? Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oh, yes, yes. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Mmmmmmmmmmm!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] I shall take my leave now and, um, hasten to Mr. Grayson. <Rises.> Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Colonel, perhaps you could pour us each a sherry in honor of the occasion? Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes, please. Cardaniel80: [Pickering] If that's acceptable, Miss Hampton? Certainly, then. Cardaniel80: [Pickering] (Pours three glasses, lifts one.) Would you like to propose a toast, Miss Hampton? Thantasy: [Ophelia] Um.... Thantasy: [Ophelia] yes. Thantasy: [Ophelia] A quotation... Thantasy: [Ophelia] "To be or not to be, that is the question. Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to, by opposing, end them." Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Smiling.) An excellent choice, so apropos. (Raises glass.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Whether tis.... <She knows the whole monologue by heart and goes on at great length.> Thantasy: <Pickering almost falls asleep on his feet.> Thantasy: <But at least she does it without any um's.> Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Sees that the soliloquy is very dear to her soul.) Cardaniel80: (Pickering and Higgins at last raise their glasses.) Hear, hear! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Until three days from now I, um, take my leave. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] We will be ready for you when you return. Thantasy: [Ophelia] How very, very nice. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Adieu, parting is such sweet sorrow. Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Exits.> Cardaniel80: [Higgins] My word, Pickering, a fascinating case... I have
the beginning of a plan, but I shall need all three days to prepare it.
THREE DAYS LATER
Cardaniel80: (Higgins and Pickering are in the parlor. There is a curtain draped across the far end of the room.) Thantasy: [Liza] Professor Higgins, that charming Miss Hampton is here to see you again. Shall I show her in? Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Yes, please, Eliza. And if you would, please take the afternoon off. We shan't be needing you, and I want to reward you for your fine work. Thantasy: [Liza] Oh, all right. Thank you. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Come in, please, Miss Hampton. I trust things have gone well for you these past three days? Thantasy: [Liza] <I was rather looking forward to chatting with Miss Hampton a bit later. Oh, well.> Thantasy: [Liza] <I will catch her another time. What shall I do with the afternoon?...> <Nods at Higgins politely and leaves, pulling the door closed.> Thantasy: [Ophelia] Good day, Professor, Colonel. Things have gone, um, blissfully the past three days. Thantasy: [Ophelia] I have been, um, eagerly anticipating today. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Splendid! Are you are ready to conduct business with us today? Thantasy: [Ophelia] Um, yes. Cardaniel80: [Pickering] I trust we will have a memorable afternoon, Miss Hampton. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Well, I am sure it will be. Thantasy: [Ophelia] For you at least. Thantasy: [Ophelia] I don't know how much memory I will have, of course. Cardaniel80: [Pickering] Quite right, Miss Hampton, I don't believe we can claim you will actually remember this experience. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Perhaps in, um, another existence. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Smiling.) Yes, wouldn't that be wonderful for you? Thantasy: [Ophelia] I have made my, um, preparations. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Ah, the legal formalities. And you have brought the documents with you? Thantasy: [Ophelia] Um, yes, here are the documents. May I, um, see the preparations you have made before I commit myself? Cardaniel80: [Higgins] I had intended to leave that to you as a matter of choice: we will reveal all the details beforehand, or if you would prefer we could surprise you. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Not that I have much doubt, of course. Thantasy: [Ophelia] I do think I should, however, see them first. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Looking over the documents.) Our solicitor does quite a good job. These are all in order, awaiting only your signature. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Which I shall, um, I'm sure, affix in a very few moments. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Well then, if you will step this way (turning and walking back towards the curtain). Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Quivering with excitement.> Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Pulls the curtain aside to reveal.....) Cardaniel80: (A wooden board, slanted, supported underneath so that it is about two feet off the floor at its high end and one foot at its low end....) Cardaniel80: (It's about 6 feet long, high end to low, and five feet wide, across....) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Um, how very delightful! Cardaniel80: (There are leather straps at the corners, and a strap hanging from the middle of the low side. The lower side is just above a metal tub, about two feet across, its rim nearly even with the board.) Cardaniel80: (A large bucket is suspended above the tub, with a chain leading from a spigot in its bottom to the middle of the low side of the board.) Cardaniel80: (The large, hanging bucket is full of water.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] I am, um, impressed with your preparations. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Would you like a description of what will happen, Miss Hampton? Thantasy: [Ophelia] I think I, um, grasp the concept, but, um, yes, I should be delighted to hear the explanation. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Well, we shall strap you onto the board with your head at the lower end. This strap will go around your neck. This chain is attached to the strap, as you can see. There is a pin, here, you see (pointing) which will hold the chain in place.... Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] .. so that this strap will hold your head down, in this tub.... Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes... <Mounting excitement.> Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Since you asked that experience be... erotic, Pickering and I will do our best to oblige you.... Thantasy: [Ophelia] YES! Cardaniel80: [Higgins] ... and, at any moment that your... emotions overcome you, Pickering or I, as convenience dictates, will pull the pin, and your... ahhh, muscular contractions will cause your neck to pull on this chain.... Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes, I see. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] ... which will open the spigot for a time.... long enough for about two inches of water to drain into the tub. Thantasy: [Ophelia] So my level of arousal will dictate the flow of the water!!!!! Cardaniel80: [Higgins] You will not be immersed all at once, you see; it will take several repetitions before the water is sufficiently deep to rise above your mouth. Thantasy: [Ophelia] OH, SPLENDID! Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Yes, indeed! And in fact, the final moment will occur during a time of peak excitement. Thantasy: [Ophelia] SPLENDID! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Gentlemen, I am highly impressed with your ingenuity. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Smiles and bows.) Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Now, this mirror here will allow you to watch yourself, as a detached observer. Cardaniel80: (Mirror rests with its bottom in the tub, and is inclined slightly forward, enabling her to see the reflection of her body when she looks up.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes, the mirror, a wonderful touch. I do not know how, um, detached I will be, however. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Smiling.) I understand. Perhaps "detached" was not quite the right word. Thantasy: [Ophelia] All of the physical arrangements seem, um, eminently satisfactory. Thantasy: [Ophelia] I do have one point on which I need, um, reassurance. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Yes? Thantasy: [Ophelia] I hope you will not find me too, um, modest... Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Modest, Miss Hampton? You need hardly be that. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Or, um, lacking in self, um, confidence. Thantasy: [Ophelia] But, you see... <Begins to disrobe.> Thantasy: [Ophelia] I am afraid that I have been rather, um, lacking in evidence from men that I am, um, attractive. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Frowns.) But I recall you explained that the fault has been theirs, not yours. Thantasy: [Ophelia] I do want you to see me, um, unclothed... Thantasy: [Ophelia] so that you can judge whether I am, um, stimulating. Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Completes disrobing.> Cardaniel80: (Higgins smiles, a little bulge starting to form in his trousers. Pickering leans forward with interest.) Thantasy: <She appears of an even more slight build than one would have judged, but perfectly proportioned.> Thantasy: <Very fine, delicate breasts, her skin almost porcelain in appearance.> Thantasy: <A waistline that a man could almost encompass with his hands.> Thantasy: [Ophelia] Well, gentlemen, you see what no man, save my doctor, has ever cast eyes upon before. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Or laid hands on. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Am I satisfactory? Cardaniel80: [Pickering] Miss Hampton, your previous suitors would have found you quite fetching if they had been inclined to see the real you. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Nods to Pickering in agreement.) Ah, Miss Hampton... I believe the only way I can convince you of my earnest approval is this.... (Unbuttons his trousers.) Cardaniel80: (His erection is... well, she hasn't seen one before, but she's certain it's impressive.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] OH MY! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes, judging from that, I would say that I must be extremely pleasing! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Have you a pen handy with which I may sign the documents? Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Pickering, if you would be so kind as to find her one, I shall finish shedding these inconvenient vestments. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ah! Thantasy: [Ophelia] I am so very, very content! Cardaniel80: (Pickering presents a pen to her with a flourish, smiling at her very attractive form.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Dear Gwen always gave me assurances, but I thought she might merely be being kind. <Signs the papers.> Cardaniel80: [Higgins] I'm sure she was merely stating what to her was quite obvious: any reasonable man would be proud to take your body with love. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Well, they certainly had their chance! Colonel, I trust you will join us in our nakedness? Cardaniel80: [Pickering] I will delay no longer.... Higgins, we do have everything we need in here then? I shouldn't like to go to the corner chemist's in an unclothed state. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Laughing.) Yes, Pickering, do disrobe yourself. Cardaniel80: [Pickering] (Begins shedding garments.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Watching the colonel.> My dear sir, it appears that you are already at attention! Thantasy: [Ophelia] The empire is secure with such a well-prepared military! Cardaniel80: [Pickering] (Laughs good-naturedly.) Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Now then, Miss Hampton, I present you with another choice: would you like to remain conscious as we complete your preparations, or would you like to simply wake up in your final state? Thantasy: [Ophelia] I would like to remain conscious so that I may, um, muse upon what is to come. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Excellent! Shall we begin, then? Thantasy: [Ophelia] Perhaps a little glass of sherry. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Ah, of course! And a toast, of course. Pickering, would you...? Cardaniel80: [Pickering] (Gets three glasses from the sideboard and an elegant decanter.) Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Now then, Miss Hampton, since we are gathered at your request... possibly you would propose a toast? Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes. Thantasy: [Ophelia] To the ambitions of a lifetime fulfilled! Cardaniel80: (Both men smile and raise glasses.) Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Surely there is nothing more satisfying. Cardaniel80: (They drink.) Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Raises his glass again.) And to immeasurable passion achieved. (All clink glasses and drink again.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] One thing we have not discussed is, um, what shall become of what remains of me. I want you to know that I leave that entirely to your taste and judgement. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Well, Miss Hampton, on occasion we have continued pleasuring ourselves with the departed friend... and your are indeed a friend now... Thantasy: [Ophelia] I hope you shall feel free to take the same liberties with me. And yes, we are certainly friends. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] In addition, Pickering learned, in India, a number of recipes for cooking humans... some of them are quite delicious. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Well, I am such a lean specimen. I hope you have plenty of vegetables to go with me. Cardaniel80: [Pickering] I have a sauce that will bring out every ounce of your no doubt wonderful flavor. Thantasy: [Ophelia] MMMmmmmmmm! Thantasy: [Ophelia] That thought excites me tremendously!!! Cardaniel80: [Pickering] And ourselves too... since we are, as we have said, friends, we would like to make your body part of ours. Thantasy: [Ophelia] That shall be a sort of immortality that I shall, pardon the expression, relish. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oh, gentlemen, I am so grateful to you! Do make every use of me possible! Thantasy: [Ophelia] If possible, save a bite or two for that darling maid. I do want her to have a taste of me. You need not tell her where the meat came from, of course. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Smiles at Pickering with raised eyebrows.) We may do exactly that. Cardaniel80: [Pickering] Puts a friendly arm around Ophelia, who has never touched a naked man before.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oh, Colonel, your touch is so exciting. Thantasy: [Ophelia] I am quite ready to proceed at your convenience and pacing, gentlemen. I am utterly in your hands. Thantasy: [Ophelia] In the hands of men, at last! Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Splendid! Come over here then, Miss Hampton. You will need to lay down this way, with your head at this end. On your back, of course.... Cardaniel80: [Higgins] It will be momentarily difficult to keep from sliding, until we fasten the straps. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes. <Offers her arm to him to steady her as she lowers herself.> Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oh, very comfortable! Cardaniel80: (Both men help in gentlemenly fashion.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] And I put my head thus? Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Yes, exactly there, just beyond the end... the edge should be at the top of your shoulders... yes, just so. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Please hold her waist here, Pickering, while I fasten her ankles. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Now, do, as you secure my legs, allow for, um, possible entrance into me, if you so choose! I do believe that Gwen's ministrations to me removed any, um, impediments. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] That thought was foremost in my mind in the design, my dear. (Smiling.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oh, how very considerate! Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Gently lifts her right ankle and pulls it towards the right edge of the board.) As I had observed your height on your first visit, the straps are ideally placed. (Cinches the strap snugly around her ankle.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Excited by the feel of the leather.> Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Walks around to the other side.) Now, this will seem a bit unmaidenly, but my impression is that you have no objection to that. Thantasy: [Ophelia] No objection at all. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Pulls her left ankle to the far left edge, and secures it there with a strap.) There, Pickering, you can let go now. Cardaniel80: (Her legs are spread widely apart now, firmly held.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] AAAH! <Excited by the confinement.> Thantasy: [Ophelia] The fresh air, touching me, it is very invigorating. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Walks towards the lower end) Now, my dear, if you will lend me your lovely hand.... Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes, you may have my hand. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Is it necessary to tie both to begin with, however? Thantasy: [Ophelia] Perhaps you could leave one hand free until things are nearing completion, so that I may caress you as well. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Takes her fingers gently in his, bends to kiss them, and then secures her wrist to the side of the board with a strap.) We could certainly leave one wrist free if you wish. Thantasy: [Ophelia] I do hope to reciprocate a bit, if I may. Cardaniel80: [Pickering] Ah, an excellent idea, Miss Hampton, and we would be pleased to feel your touch. Thantasy: [Ophelia] And, and, oh, my!!! Cardaniel80: [Higgins] And now, if you are ready, there is one more strap I would like to fasten. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Let me ask that you minimize the flow of the spigot to a mere trickle, please! I assure you that I am in a state such that I may reach many peaks very, very quickly!!! Cardaniel80: [Higgins] In that case your demise may take quite a long time. I'm sure you couldn't want that. (Smiling broadly.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] I rather think I do!!!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oh, my, I am already so aroused!!! Cardaniel80: [Higgins] But there is certainly wisdom in your knowledge of your own body. (Reaches up to make an adjustment.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ahhh! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ohhh! Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Are you ready for one last strap? And I don't mean your hand. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes, yes... Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Kneels beside the tub, pulls the strap around her throat and towards the hook to which it fastens on the chain.) You'll have to bend your head back just a bit more, Miss Hampton. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes, yes... Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ohhhhh! Thantasy: [Ophelia] <She is wet and beginning to come already with the touch of the strap to her bare neck!> Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Ah, there we have it! (The strap is tight around her throat, holding her head nearly straight downward) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oh, oh, oh, oh! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Please, please, embrace me. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Higgins stands and then kneels beside the board, stretching out to put an arm around her, just below her breasts.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] AHHHHHHHHHHH! Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Nods to Pickering to be ready to pull the pin.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oh, yes, yes. yes. Thantasy: [Ophelia] yes, yes, yes,... Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Nods again, Pickering pulls it out.... the movement of her head, pulling against the chain, causes a quick flow of water into the tub, while the strap makes it hard to breathe.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Places hand on back of his neck, pulling him to her breast.> Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oh, my, oh, my. Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Kisses her nipple and then sucks on her breast.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oh, I am such a craven slut trapped in this life of solitude! Soon to be released!!!! Cardaniel80: [Higgins] I believe you are a lost angel, soon to return home to Heaven. Thantasy: [Ophelia] I must try to control that which I have never had to control before!!!! Ohhhh.... Thantasy: [Ophelia] Touch me, touch me very lightly in my private area!!! Cardaniel80: (Since she is in such a state of constant arousal, Pickering sees no need to push the pin back in. The water drips, slowly, into the tub as her constant wriggling pulls the chain.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ohhhhhhhh!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ohhhh, my heavens!!! Cardaniel80: (Still sucking, Higgins rubs her pubes and then inserts a finger into her.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Her porcelain skin assumes a blotchy, pinkish hue about her breasts!!!> Thantasy: [Ophelia] AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Thantasy: [Ophelia] OHHHHHHHH Thantasy: [Ophelia] OOOOOOOOOO Thantasy: [Ophelia] UMMMMMMMMMM Thantasy: [Ophelia] YES........ Thantasy: [Ophelia] OHHHHHHH Thantasy: [Ophelia] GOOOOD HEAVENS!!!! Cardaniel80: (Pickering, inspired and not a little horny, kneels beside the tub with his erection in front of her lips.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oh, my, curses upon those melancholy lost causes who neglected me!!!!! Oh, please, please, fulfill me!!!! Cardaniel80: [Pickering] Yet we cannot object too strenuously, since they led you to this glorious moment. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Please, please, make haste!!!!!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oh, I look so lovely in the mirror!!!! Such a ravishing sight!!!!! Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Climbs onto the board, on top of her, his increasing erection poised at the entrance to her oft-neglected womanhood.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes, please, hesitate not!!!!! Cardaniel80: (Higgins thrusts deeply, while Pickering's prong, like a divining rod, finds it way into her mouth.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmm... Thantasy: [Ophelia] UMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm.... Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yepppphhhhhhh... Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ommmmmm... Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oooooooooo... Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Continues thrusting, in synchronization with Pickering.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Mmmmmmpppppppphhhhhhhh! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Merphiphphull heavenphhhh! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ummmmmmmm! Cardaniel80: (As she reaches towards Pickering to swallow him more deeply, water tumbles more quickly into the tub. It is about an inch deep, now.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oh, my, oh, my, oh, my... Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Takes colonel into mouth again after that expression of delight!!> Cardaniel80: (She feels a coolness near the top of her head... her hair is wet now.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ommmmmm... Cardaniel80: (The trickle is slow but steady.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh! Cardaniel80: (Higgins thrusting faster, very close himself now.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ohhhhmmmppppphhhh... Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Needs to breathe. Pickering senses and withdraws.> Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ohhhhhhhhh! Cardaniel80: (Pickering holding the sides of her head, eyes closed, the head of his manhood brushing her lips, ready to enter again.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] You two wonderful, wonderful men!!!!!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Sorry, Colonel, I shall be ready to receive you again. Let me catch what little breath is left to me... Thantasy: [Ophelia] AGAGAGGAGAGAG... Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ahhhhhhhhhh!! Cardaniel80: [Higgins] NGGGAHHH!! (gasp) (gasp) Ahhhh....... Thantasy: [Ophelia] EEEEEAAAAAYYYYYyyyy!!!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] <OH, THAT'S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE!!!!!!!!> Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Breathless.) We are... honored... that we will be the only men to leave part of ourselves in your body... before we take you into ours. Thantasy: [Ophelia] At last, seed scattered into the neglected field!!!!!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes, yes, yes, Cardaniel80: [Pickering] (Still tickling her lips with the tip of his manhood.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Colonel, perhaps you could assume the professor's post? He seems to have fired his ammunition. His first round at least! Cardaniel80: [Pickering] I shall be honored, Miss Hampton, although I'm sure he will not be out of commission long. Cardaniel80: (Now feeling coolness of water at the top of her scalp.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Looking at mirror.> See how the demure little slyph is transformed into the raging dyad!!! See how I glow with inner fire!!!!! Cardaniel80: (Pickering climbs aboard.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Soon, soon to be...... AHHHHHHHHHHHA........ extinguished!!!!! Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Your skin is so alive, pink and shining. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Professor, your firearm in my mouth, please that I may help you reload!!!! Cardaniel80: (Pickering is quickly inside, feeling her wetness and Higgins's.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Cardaniel80: (Higgins is quick to oblige and kneels in front of her.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Takes Higgins into her mouth, as expertly as if she had been doing this for years.> Thantasy: [Ophelia] <The intensity of her orgasms now subsides just a little...> Thantasy: [Ophelia] <She relaxes into the moment....> Cardaniel80: (As Pickering is supporting himself on his arms, Higgins ducks underneath and again sucks her breast.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] MMMMMMMMPPPPPPPPPHHHhhhhhhh!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Mpppppppppphhhhhhhhh!!! Cardaniel80: (Higgins had been about to replace the pin, but sees her renewed vigor and lets the water continue to flow. About half of her scalp in underwater now.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Mmmmmpppppppphhhhhh!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oooooopphhhhhhhh!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Forces Higgins out that she may breathe for a moment.> Thantasy: [Ophelia] AH AH AH AH AH AH AH!! Cardaniel80: (Higgins coming alive again at the feel of her lips, knowing the need that lies behind her excitement.) Cardaniel80: (Water still dribbling. She feels it across the top of her forehead now. Not at all cold, just pleasantly cool. It will be dreamy to drown in such a medium.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oh, gentlemen, I beg that you steadily continue your ministrations. Please do not desist when you sense I have expired! Cardaniel80: (Pickering continues thrusting, leaving room for Higgins to continue breast play while she sucks.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] I feel that some awareness may remain within me after outward signs of vitality have ceased! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Cardaniel80: [Higgins] My dear, we had no intention of stopping. Thantasy: [Ophelia] AHHHHHHHHHHH! Thantasy: [Ophelia] OOOOOOooooooooooo THHHHAAANNNNNNNK Youuuuuuuuu... Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Quietly, with a smile.) I promise that we will play with you... after you have drowned, Ophelia. Thantasy: [Ophelia] AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oh, yes, yes, yes..... Cardaniel80: (Strap pulls tightly across her throat so that she can't breath for a moment. A generous dollop of water descends into the tub.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] The water covers my eyes, but I still see my lovely reflection! Please, Professor, your manhood in my mouth again for a moment before I need to use my mouth for breathing. Cardaniel80: (Higgins eagerly fills her mouth.... his tool now erect again, perhaps longer than before.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] It is so lovely to see myself through this watery veil. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Mmmmmmmmm... Thantasy: [Ophelia] mmmmmmmppppppppppp... Thantasy: [Ophelia] Mpppppppppppphhhhhhh!! Cardaniel80: [Pickering] (gasp) Gahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] ajjjjJJJJJJJJJJEEEEEEE!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] <EXPELS HIGGINS FROM HER MOUTH WITH THAT CRY.> Cardaniel80: (Another jet of water drops into the tub.... she feels it halfway down her nose now.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] ahhhhhhhhhhhh!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] OH, SO, SO, SO GOOD, SO GOOD!!!! Cardaniel80: (Her ears are under the surface... Pickering's gasps sound tinny, far away.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] OH, YES.... Thantasy: [Ophelia] YES... Thantasy: [Ophelia] Professor, perhaps you should relieve the colonel quickly! Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Stands.) Allow me, Pickering... she should certainly be filled at the blessed moment. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oh this is the most lovely afternoon of my entire life!!!!! Cardaniel80: [Higgins] How wonderful that the best should come last! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Colonel, please, your mouth and hands to my breasts!!!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ummmmmmmmmm!! Cardaniel80: (Pickering is quick to oblige, sucking her breast deeply into her mouth while playing with the other nipple.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] Yes, yes, yes, yes... Thantasy: [Ophelia] Oooo ooooo oooooo oooooooo... Thantasy: [Ophelia] YEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] OH, OH, OH... Cardaniel80: (Higgins is thrusting with vigor far beyond his first attempt.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] AAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Cardaniel80: (Water is over her nose now.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] GASP, AHHHHHHH.... GASP...... Thantasy: [Ophelia] OH, BLESS YOU, BLESS YOU, BLESS YOU!!! Cardaniel80: (Higgins grasps her shoulders to thrust harder, while Pickering caresses her sides and continues to suck and squeeze her breasts.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Trying to control her breathing so that it is only through her mouth, trying to keep it shallow so that water is not sucked in through her nose.> Cardaniel80: [Higgins] I believe we should say goodbye to you, Miss Hampton. God bless you, a wonderful friend. We will always remember you. Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Her expressions become less vocal as she tries to ration the air.> Thantasy: [Ophelia] Please do, please do. You have been both the first and last men to savor me, an occurrence not common. Thantasy: [Ophelia] Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Feels water at lips.> Cardaniel80: (As the surface of the water is stirred by her movements, trickles of water come into her mouth over her upper lip.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Forms mouth as though whistling, to take in tiny stream of air!> Cardaniel80: [Higgins] I believe this is it, Pickering... our dear Ophelia is about to drown. Thantasy: [Ophelia] aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh... Thantasy: [Ophelia] ahhhhhhhhhh... Cardaniel80: (Water cascades into the tub.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... Thantasy: [Ophelia] COUGH... Thantasy: [Ophelia] BPHHHPPPPP... Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Now, her lungs demanding air, suck in water.> Cardaniel80: (Higgins and Pickering watch as Ophelia convulses violently, her body instinctively seeking air it can no longer find.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Her body writhes in violence...> Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Her head is filled with the wonderful pleasure of arousal...> Thantasy: [Ophelia] <She contorts, showing more strength that would seem likely...> Cardaniel80: (Higgins continues thrusting, Pickering still sucking her breast.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Mentally, she is in full acceptance.> Cardaniel80: (She thrusts her free hand outward, fingers spread wide, trembling.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] <She controls herself as much as possible.> Thantasy: [Ophelia] <She concentrates on the pleasure at her breasts, and between her legs.> Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Wooziness begins to set in...> Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Panic might develop in one who has not been adjusted to this idea for years.> Cardaniel80: (Higgins, thrilled at her happiness, is unable to stop himself.) NNNNNNGGGGAAAHHH!!!!!!! (He convulses in orgasm, knowing she is still aware.) Thantasy: [Ophelia] <She relaxes, obseves her gradual loss of awareness with some distance.> Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Feels that lovely delivery...> Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Stares at herself in the mirror..> Cardaniel80: [Higgins] Dear, dear Ophelia... I love you. farewell. Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Finds herself utterly beautiful...> Thantasy: [Ophelia] <and fulfilled...> Thantasy: [Ophelia] <at last...> Thantasy: [Ophelia] <and that image, and the echoes of sensations of pleasure...> Thantasy: [Ophelia] <carry her out and over.> Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Her body trembles a bit still...> Thantasy: [Ophelia] <Her hand drops, utterly lax.> Cardaniel80: [Higgins] (Breathing hard but speaking quietly.) Is she breathing, Pickering? Thantasy: [Ophelia] <A very pleasant smile on her lips.> Cardaniel80: [Pickering] (Equally quietly) Nothing to breathe, Higgins. Wait... (listens to her chest, his cheeks against her breast.) Cardaniel80: [Pickering] She's gone, Henry. POST-MORTEM -- by Cardaniel "She's gone, Henry," Pickering said quietly. "A very charming young woman." Higgins dismounted her and stood beside the board, looking at her body with an introspective expression. "It's a pity about the men in her life, but at least good fortune guided her to us." Pickering stood and patted her motionless chest, and smiled. "I believe I'll have another go before we start preparing her for the pot." "By all means," Higgins replied with an inviting gesture. "I may be able to get myself going one more time. I've never been fellated underwater before." Pickering mounted Ophelia's body and quickly inserted himself. "It's damned hard staying up here without sliding forward into the tub. Being anchored to her vagina helps considerably." Higgins knelt in the tub in front of her, turning his head to get a better look at her upside-down countenance. "She really does have quite a beatific expression. She seems to have found the ending of her life more fulfilling than any other part." He held his limp penis in front of her mouth, underwater, and pried her jaws open to insert himself. As Pickering began thrusting in earnest, Higgins put his hands behind her head to pull her hard against him, her teeth encircling his balls. The feeling of her soft, lifeless tongue and the back of her throat woke his male member from its slumbers, and it quickly grew to its usual sizable proportions. The unique sensations of fellatio with the deceased added to his arousal -- in other circumstances one did not usually feel one's swelling penis penetrating beyond the esophagus without a reaction from one's partner. Higgins found the feeling exquisitely exciting, and closed his eyes as his hands moved her head back and forth, the organs at the back of her throat brushing softly against the tip of his own organ. The uniqueness was heightened by having it all happen underwater: no live partner could remain submerged for such a long time. Pickering was thrusting briskly, his hands in her armpits to help stop him from sliding off. Both men were soon breathing hard, each knowing that, while their partner seemed unaware of their current use of her body, her spirit was watching them with joy and approval. Pickering came first, with a tremendous grunt of effort, his excitement increased at the thought of leaving the live seed of his body within her dead one. Higgins continued thrusting, pulling her head hard against his body with his hands, holding her face so tight against him she would have been unable to breathe if she had needed to, finally exploding into her mouth. She was incapable of swallowing it (though some of it entered her beyond her esophagus to begin with), and he could see little shimmers in the water as portions of it floated out of her mouth. He sat back, exhausted and very agreeably satisfied. He looked up at Pickering, who was resting his chest tiredly on hers. "Ready for a little boiled Ophelia?" Pickering smiled and appeared immediately reenergized. "Just the thing. I'll add some of my Indian flavorings to the stew." Higgins rose and stretched. "Let me carry her out to the pot, then, while you round up the ingredients you'll need. I can carry her alone, I'm sure, she hardly weighs as much as a good book." Pickering climbed down and headed for the kitchen. "I'll just
be a few minutes."
It was more than a few minutes; by the time Pickering had arrived at the great cooking pot under the trees, Higgins was already well-advanced in building the fire. Pickering thought at first Higgins had left Ophelia elsewhere for the time being, and looked to see where she was, but finally discovered she was in the pot after all -- lying curled in a fetal position, entirely submerged under the surface of the water. He nodded gravely at Higgins, understanding. "Yes, Higgins, I'm sure she would like it that way." He pulled a carrot from the sack he was carrying and offered it
to Higgins. "Don't forget this."
THAT EVENING Thantasy: [Liza] <Accepting the plate the Pickering offers her.> Thantasy: [Liza] Thank you, Colonel. I am unfamiliar with Indian cuisine. Cardaniel80: [Pickering] Would you like curry powder with that? Thantasy: [Liza] Ummm, very tasty. Yes, just a little. Thantasy: [Liza] Thank you. Thantasy: [Liza] So lean and yet so tender. Cardaniel80: [Pickering] Yes, quite lean, but supple and lovely. Thantasy: [Liza] Did you serve this to that nice Miss Hampton? Cardaniel80: [Pickering] She is unable to partake of herself... partake of it herself, I should say... but she insisted you should have some. Thantasy: [Liza] How kind of her! What a thoughtful young woman! Thantasy: [Liza] <Eating.> Cardaniel80: [Pickering] Indeed, yes, and very happy. Thantasy: [Liza] I feel a strong sympathy with her. I don't know why. Thantasy: [Liza] Almost as though she were a part of me. Cardaniel80: [Pickering] That may well be the case, my dear. Thantasy: [Liza] I don't usually eat so much, but may I please have another slice, Colonel? It's such unusual meat, but really quite wonderful. Cardaniel80: [Pickering] Indeed it is, Eliza. Was and is. |
