This was 2 00:00:04,220 --> 00:00:06,100 pleasuring with a vengeance. 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,400 It was an appropriate relief when the gong sounded for prayer meeting. 4 00:00:11,980 --> 00:00:15,360 The first Saturday night of any other pleasure excursion might have 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,280 been devoted to wist and dancing.
