Summary
This is a sequel of sorts to the Edwardian erotic novel Memoirs of a Voluptuary. Originally published in 1908 (some sources say 1905/6), this work was written by "anonymous." I would love to know who the real author was but sadly I can't find any information about that. Also worth noting is my difficulty with determining what time to set this fic in. To quote the volume itself, the narrator says "my memory could not possibly be sufficiently vivid to enable me to pen a truthful journal of what happened a considerable number of years ago" (Chapter 8). So I'm gonna speculate that a "considerable number of years ago" is about 10 before publication which would mean that Charlie, who is 13 when the book begins, was born somewhere around 1885. By that line of thinking, Bob would be born around 1882. Because Rutherford is off to Sandhurst at the close of the novel, I thought I'd make a reunion in connection with that.
