Go back to bed

Feeling guilty, you turn from the hole, undress and slip into bed.

Even though your imagination works overtime and you want so much to relieve your sexual tension, you nonetheless close your eyes and try to push the desire from your mind.

You eventually drop into a fitful sleep.

You waken the following morning rather tired and hungry.

You wash and dress, then decide to head downstairs for some breakfast.

But instead, when you open the bedroom door, you see several gendarmes--French policemen--milling about in the hallway.

In broken English, they ask you questions, demanding if you know anything at all about the **** of Count Rudolpho.

Shocked, you reply that you've been asleep most of the night and didn't see or hear anything other than a man and woman quarreling in the hallway.

After a few more questions, the gendarmes seem satisfied and allow you to leave.

Thus it is that you eventually leave for England and totally unaware of what actually happened that night.
