>and my dead brother

"David and I had a tremendous adventure. It was this – he passed the night with me... I took [his boots] off with all the coolness of an old hand, and then I placed him on my knee, and removed his blouse. This was a delightful experience, but I think I remained wonderfully calm until I came somewhat too suddenly to his little braces, which agitated me profoundly... I cannot proceed in public with the disrobing of David."

After some time, David climbs into bed with the narrator. "For the rest of the night he lay on me and across me, and sometimes his feet were at the bottom of the bed and sometimes on the pillow, but he always retained possession of my finger..." Meanwhile, the adult lies awake, thinking of "this little boy, who in the midst of his play while I undressed him, had suddenly buried his head on my knee" and of his "dripping little form in the bath, and how when I essayed to catch him he had slipped from my arms like a trout."
