found myself enjoying the foul London weather as if it were the purest balmy breeze wafting over the Boulevard des Anglais at Nice. A spell on South African veldt will do that to a man. I was standing in the portico of my club in St James, watching the rain bounce off the pavements, and shaking the worst of it off my cape before going in. It was the standard issue short cape, but at least it came down to my upper thighs, which was a blessing for reasons I will

Tableau number three, as performed in Madame Rowena’s special house of delights, involved these two nekkid Bacchantes, celebrating the joys of the vine and mellow fruitfulness.

It may have turned the colour of a fire engine, and the poor old plums beneath were swelling more and more and turning a nasty shade of blue, but it still hadn’t done its business, and was still throbbing about like a fiddler’s elbow. So I did the remaining five girls, and left them spent and mewing, the way they do. “Well,” said Madame Rowena, “I never did. Deirdre, I think it’s time for Britannia.” And off Deirdre scampered, to do I know not what. After a few minutes, the curtain parted again from the further alcove, and there in all her glory was the figure of Britannia, mother-queen to all England, and the only woman after our own dear Victoria whom I would acknowledge as my mistress and obey without a second thought.

Many clients at Madame Rowena’s availed themselves of the historic costumes from her dressing up box. The “Brutal and Licentious Soldier practising his Yodelling up the Khyber” was always a popular item.
