of intercourses and ejaculations
She felt, and rightly, that before the strain of attempting further intercourse with Albert, it would be as well to fortify herself with a good supply of local colour.
...
Albert uttered another ejaculation indicative of delight.
whoa... hold your horses... this blog is not turning R-rated, I assure you... ;p
I was reading a little Agatha Christie - a throwback to my primary-secondary days - when i was waiting for my partner to complete some portions of the work... and I came across the 2 lines above... and really, was quite surprised to see "intercourse". more so because Albert, in the story, is roughly a 10-year-old lift boy! wats more he "ejaculated with delight"!! haha...
after reading each line twice to make sure i didnt read wrongly, i then remembered that Agatha Christie belonged to the 50s (?) and of course then, the words would mean nothing more than their original, and innocent, meanings...
interesting to see how words evolved over just a few decades...
imagine if i were to go to a gal i dun really know, and ask her, "Excuse me, may I have intercourse with you?" my, i guess i would have a slap in return or something! heh.
errmm... in case some of you dunno, in the original context, intercourse just means talk, or conversation. :)
and to end off this rather unsavory post, 2 more lines from the novel:
'What a pity!' I ejaculated.
- yup... indeed, what a pity ;p
"Holy snakes!" he ejaculated. "Is it really you?"
