~ "Please stay down on me awhile, my love." "With pleasure," she said. "I feel as fine as five pence with you there." "Me too, I like being down by your muff." She made me giggle with her affectionate familiarity. Are many women both whore and lady for their lovers? I expect so, the contrast seems only too natural and perhaps our way of liberating the complexity of love, instead of stumbling around trying to control or deny it. "By the way," said my lady, "who told you Merripath House is known as Cucumber Hall?" "No one," I said, "I made it up to vex Postlethwaite." "Inspired," she said, "do you think we should try a cucumber?" "You would take my maiden flower with a vegetable?" "You can take mine," said my fusty luggs. Inspired indeed, inspired by the power of the open and honest love within Merripath House. Perhaps one day muff with muff will - I know not what, but I do know the Lady of Merripath will create a legacy too powerful to deny. God bless you, your Ladyship. For always and forever, our very own Marianne. ~ The End Inspired by Anne Lister
