I hear him now, come singing up the stairs to the nursery, and tossing the loaf for breakfast on his sword-stick, and then off we went for a day's Pleasuring-Richmond, Hampton Court, the Surrey Hills.
"Night and Day"
Virginia Woolf
The boat was about fifteen feet long; she would be but a small boat for summer Pleasuring in English July lake-waters, yet here was I in her in the heart of a vast ocean, many leagues south and west of the stormiest, most inhospitable point of land in the world, with distances before me almost infinite for such a boat as this to measure ere I could heave a civilized coast or a habitable island into view!
"The Frozen Pirate"
W. Clark Russell
She hasn't got a nice day for Pleasuring!
