again.’
    He jumped up then. ‘I gave you
     what you wanted, didn’t I?’
    ‘Do you really think any girl just
     wants that?’ She was incredulous at his arrogance.
    ‘You were desperate for it,’
     he said. ‘All that fluttering your eyelashes at me and the come-on looks.
     Sheilas like you are ten a penny. They lure you into screwing them, and then they
     want you to marry them.’
    ‘
Marry
you!’ she
     said indignantly. ‘You fancy yourself,don’t you? I wouldn’t marry you if I was paid
     a million pounds to do it. You’re uncouth, arrogant and plain nasty. I
     can’t imagine what made me think there was anything to like about you. But
     I’ve said my piece, and I’m going home now.’
    ‘Not so fast,’ he said,
     grabbing her arm. ‘No two-bit whore insults me and gets away with
     it.’
    ‘You didn’t mind insulting
     me with your animal behaviour,’ she shot back, and tried to get out of his
     grip.
    He dug his fingers harder into her arm
     so it hurt. ‘You think you are so high and mighty,’ he snarled at her,
     putting his face right up to hers. ‘What’ve you got to be so snooty
     about? They say your old man is a war hero, but he’s a bloody Frog, and they
     give the French medals just for wiping their own arse. As for your ma, well, from
     what I’ve heard, she jumped on the first single man who turned up here and was
     up the spout at her wedding.’
    Suddenly Mariette realized she’d
     been very stupid to come up here where there was no one to run to for help if Sam
     turned really nasty.
    ‘Let me go,’ she
     pleaded.
    ‘I’ll let you go
     alright,’ he said. ‘But only after you’ve sucked me
     off.’
    Mariette didn’t know what he meant
     by that until he began to unbutton his fly, pulled out his penis and started pushing
     her down towards it.
    ‘On your knees,’ he
     commanded her. ‘And do it good.’
    Just the thought of such a thing made
     her gag, and she had no intention of doing anything so utterly disgusting. But she
     was aware that he was a great deal stronger than her, and she knew the only way she
     could get the better of him was through guile.
    Taking a deep breath, she forced herself
     to grin up at him. ‘I suppose I could … for old times’
     sake,’ she said as shereached out
     to grasp his penis. It was still flaccid, and it felt sweaty and nasty, but the
     moment her hand went around it and she bent her knees as if to kneel down,
     thankfully, he let go of her arm.
    Under her grasp his penis rose up as
     thick as a baby’s arm. She looked up and saw he had his head back and his eyes
     closed. It was the moment.
    In one swift movement she brought her
     knee up and thumped him right in his testicles, then turned and fled as fast as she
     could.
    She glanced back to see him doubled up
     with pain. He sank to his knees on the grass, holding himself and making a bellowing
     sound.
    It was shock that made her cry. Her
     mother and Mog had always warned her not to trust strangers or allow people to take
     liberties with her. But such warnings had never meant much before because, until she
     met Sam, everyone she met had been good and decent.
    Yet she did remember a few years back,
     when times were really hard because of the Depression, how anxious her mother had
     been when gaunt-looking men with ragged clothes came to the door asking for
     food.
    ‘Don’t open the door to
     anyone when I’m not here,’ her mother had warned her. ‘Hard times
     make people desperate.’
    Mariette had found it odd that, after
     warning her against such men, both her mother and Mog would give the men food and
     drink, and often bathed and treated the blisters on their feet.
    ‘They can’t help the way
     they look, they are hungry and exhausted,’ Mog explained to her. ‘There
     are men like them all over the world now, travelling about in the hope of finding
     work. You’ve been sheltered from the harsh reality of what the Depression
     means for most
