permission of your mistress, incharge of the lunch?”
All girls looked at Mrs. Vicar; she made her face speaking “man is not allowed”. Meanwhile Lucy and Dolly arrived with washed dishes and bowls, Lucy just sat down taking a bowl and dish saying….
“Serve me lunch please!”
She raised her hand with a bowl for milk, Mariana filled it up, and she started drinking like a hungry dog saying, “sorry Father, no prayer, we already prayed with children”.
All girls laughed loudly and took their places. Vicar also joined them saying prayer. They all had lunch with great joy till they were full but still there was milk left.
First lunch was served successfully. All praised the Lord and girls began washing dishes again.
“For whom you have left this big pan?” Mrs. Vicar said to see big pan in which meat was cooked, because no girl had washed as big as it before. Softy, sweet Linda stood to wash it and taught each to how to wash big pot. All girls along with Mrs. Vicar surprised. Linda was so intelligent girl. She was from gipsy tribe. Her father was drunk. He drank too much when he returned from work and always fights with her mother. She is eldest sister of her parent’s three daughters. Before her birth her parents ran away from Nottingham because her father injured a man seriously while fighting. They resorted at Cathedral Dencastle. Vicar helped them and soon they were part of Village and they had three girls. Her mother was very strict and trained her as a woman because there was no single girl after twelve or thirteen in their clan so she thught now it’s time for her marriage. She and her mom also had to go to work some time and responsibility had made her talented. She always talked like a woman and all girls made fun of her, today also she did what only experienced woman could do. Eventually first lunch ended happily & successfully.

It was cold afternoon. It had been slow raining since morning. Weather was slightly dark. Old people were wearing sweater and muffler. John’s granny had been murmuring since morning as if whole amount of cold was at John’s home. She was shivering just in slightly cold weather seating near fire. John’s mother came to her and offered her roasted meat with bread in a dish. She was wishing a bowlful warm soup so she got angry to see the dish and screamed so loudly that her scream rattled the entire house and disturbed the sweet fantasy of young fresh landlord John.
John was at home today due to rain and cold, weather didn’t allow him to get out of warm blanket. He woke up at morning but because of the disturbance of weather, he didn’t go to take care of business and got again into the bed. His fresh adulthood didn’t let him concentrate elsewhere. When he got free from work and company of land lord he would like to be lost in sweet fantasy. He got angry with granny’s scream and came out shouting at her. Her granny didn’t reply and kept her head down. John shouted and shouted now and again because his granny has disturbed him. His mother quickly arrived at there, scolded him and made him get out of the home.
Having taken light lunch John came out. He took his horse and rode towards his favorite seating place at the hotel with the hope of company of some friends. At the hotel there were no more people, today was slightly silent. Hotelman was snoring covering his eyes in muffler and reclining with wooden wall behind his counter seat. Young waiter was watching a card game which was been playing by four young landlords. They were stiffen, Anthony, Simon, and Martin who were John’s close friend. Anthony and Martin were married when Simon and Stiffen were still single and very fond of wine and woman. They always used to go to a club at place called Midtown some six kilometers far away, in the way to Nottingham where there was a market at each Saturday evening. They both spent their Sunday at the club, drunken with woman.
John arrived at the hotel and got off the horse. He tied his horse and joined the company. They welcomed John with great pleasure and ordered coffee to waiter.
“Poor slave has to work in rain too” Simon began.
“I wasn’t working dude” John said punching on back of Simon.
What had you been doing then since morning? Anthony asked.
“Nothing just lying on the bed” John replied.
On bed! Poor man goona be insane in control of his father Stiffen commented and made everyone laughed. Now their meeting was interested, his friends got a football to kick because they had been playing cards since morning and now they were bored. So John was real refreshment for them. They started to make fun of John, commenting turn by turn.
Waiter bought a jug full up with coffee and five glasses in a tray, he put them down, served each of them glass full with hot coffee then said “here is jug sir if you want more”
“Ok man, it’s not enough today, get ready for two more jugs” Anthony said.
“Huh, what a lovely coffee is! John exclaimed taking first sip.
Lost in fantasy of sex, John was trying to get chance for sex talk. He was eager to know about sex. There was nothing but sex only in his mind, his fresh adulthood had made him insane. He tried to start talking about sex.
Isn’t today cool men? My legs are not staying stable today they are shaking again and again, John told strangely.
“Hey man it’s all due to sexual power, you are man now and your legs are shaking due to white butter, didn’t you say before some days” Simon said.
Huh, I don’t think butter is in leg, John spook.
“It’s in leg and if you don’t have sex then it’s dangerous for your leg so have sex as soon as possible” commented Anthony.
“Huh, how can I have sex? I don’t have even girlfriend, my father hates it. And I don’t know how to sex”. John said surprisingly because he wanted to know more and more about sex.
“Do you want to have sex? Come with us tonight at pub there are so many girls, they will teach you how to do sex” said Stiffen.
“But at night I m not allowed to get out of the home” said John
Don’t worry; run away when your family slept. We will return before its morning.
John kept thinking and his friends laughed looking at each other. Simon signed with his eyes to Stiffen for make more fun.
”What you say then are you ready to have your first sex?” Stiffen asked setting his cards.
Martin tried to make him ready by threatening him commenting, “Dude if you’ll not have sex then your male won’t develop longer so it’s important to have sex in early period. It’s my experience. I did it in early time, at your age, so I have very long and my wife is so happy”.
“And I made mistake in early time so my wife isn’t happy with me in sex” accelerated Anthony
“You know that’s why his wife comes to me always” Simon spook and all laughed loudly. Anthony punched Simon and told please don’t do it again”. They all tried to encourage John and John tried to make his mind. He spook slowly “ok I will come but please we’ll return before morning “.
“Don’t worry dude, we’ll. Have more meat at night ok” Simon said.
“Why more meat?” John asked.
”Because it increases sexual power so start taking meat from now” told Simon
They all commented one by one and misguided him. His new experience of manhood was taking him towards sex. John was little depressed by his sexual erection and now he wanted to do anything for sex. Poor John!

Its dinner time and all Johns’ family were around dining table having dinner. His granny was looking so happy with bowl of chicken soup in her hand, sipping with loud voice but John was so much angry because of no meat today on dinner. His mother got tired preparing chicken soup and potato chips.
“I don’t like this old people dish, I m a man now I will eat only meat” John said.
What are you saying my son? You know soup is also too nice for man and why are you caring about food now? You are still boy, dear his father told.
No dad I’m man now, I must care about everything John replied angrily.
Look Martha, we need to get him married, listen to me, my son, your mother has no time to take care of you. Mr. Peter told him.
Her granny laughed and spook “my little John need little lady”.
His both younger brothers laughed loudly. It made John angry more, he stood up and walked away throwing spoon on the table.
He went into his bedroom and lain down on bed pretending sleepy, covering blanket. After some time his mother arrived slowly in bedroom. First he shouted in slow voice to check wither he was awake or not, then she uncovered blanket from his face. John didn’t open his eyes and kept pretending sleepy. His mother kissed on his cheeks, spook “my poor son didn’t even change the clothes” then she left room closing door.
John kept sleeping for a while then sat down. He assured that everyone was on their bed then he opened the door slowly and walked to gate with silent steps. It was too difficult to open the gate because gate was made of iron and opening the Nob was noisy so he tried to climb up the wall and he succeeded. He jumped down carefully and walked to stable. Taking his horse he walked to main gate of farmhouse. As he got out of his farmhouse, he jumped to ride the horse. Having taken the seat well he heeled the horse towards hotel where his both friends were waiting.
“You are too late fella, we are waiting since ages” said Simon.
I couldn’t be able before my family slept.
They all rode their horses towards Midtown. It was night and weather was cold so it made John little shiver but their horses were so quick that they arrived at midtown within an hour. Their horses stopped at the club. There were some lanterns burning outside the club hanging with roof end. It was built in round shape. Outside of it, there were so many horses tied with pegs on its wall. There was a big door with two panels. The door keeper was sitting against door, spreading both legs forward, closing his eyes, half slept with a long rifle on his shoulder.
As they reached the door, door keeper stood up rubbing his eyes. All of three removed their muffler from head and showed him their faces. Door keeper was familiar with Simon and Stiffen but he tried to stop John saying boy and it made John angry. Simon told gatekeeper that he was his cousin brother and he left him. Having checked their faces doorkeeper let them in, opening door and they were swallowed by the club in.
Inside the club there was celebration. The hall was lighted with so many candles and lanterns. In the exact middle of the club there was circular platform some feet high surrounding with round bars. There were five footsteps to climb up the platform. Simon put off his shirt, tied with his waist and climbed up the platform shirtless, on which there were so many beautiful young girls dancing along with few men on noisy music. Simon also joined them. He went to
