In the few weeks that Nora, a young Irish girl, has been in service to Dr. Damian Thatch as a housemaid, he has been most pleased with her performance of her duties, but has not yet made an attempt to seduce her into submission. Not wanting to appear to be considering her as anything other than a house servant, he had kept communications between them appropriate for her position. Surely, he reasoned, that a scenario might arise naturally where he would have the opportunity to pursue his more prurient interests in her.

While physically satisfying, however, he finds that purchasing pleasure takes away from his desire for conquest.
