49 INT. PONTINGS’ HOUSE, BEDROOM. NORTH OXFORD. DAY.<br />

49<br />

FLORENCE is at a window seat with a book, ‘Love, Sex and<br />

Marriage - a Young Bride’s Guide.’ Behind her, a violin in its<br />

open case, music stand, sheet music. At various points she looks<br />

up, faintly nauseated, then forces herself to go on reading.<br />

FLORENCE (V.O.)<br />

‘...this pleasurable excitement causes<br />

the penis to fill with blood and<br />

become engorged...’ oh God...<br />

‘secretes a clear substance to<br />

lubricate the mucous membrane...’<br />

ugh... ‘and now the foreplay is<br />

concluded, he lies on top of her, and<br />

it is perfectly acceptable for her to<br />

use a hand gently to guide her husband<br />

in, and at last he enters her...’<br />

enters me... ‘he enters her and this<br />

is known as penetration...<br />

RUTH, is in the hall, looking for her.<br />

Flo?<br />

RUTH (V.O.)<br />

FLORENCE<br />

Enter. You may enter me.<br />

What?<br />

Nothing.<br />

RUTH<br />

FLORENCE<br />

RUTH<br />

Are you all right?<br />

FLORENCE<br />

I’m feeling rather sick.<br />

RUTH<br />

What are you reading?<br />

FLORENCE<br />

A sex manual.<br />

In thrilled horror, RUTH’S hand covers her mouth.
