"Reluctant to leave that adored image of a Narcissus reverie, Sadie removed her slip and scanties and brassière, thereby revealing an imposition practised on the male eye by that support, for Sadie's breasts were not the resolute, cup-shaped adornments it moulded under her frock, but drooped when their soft tissues were released, while Rita's breasts, eight years older than Sadie's, were still firmly anchored to the arch of her chest, and even in a reclining posture refused to lob."
