Everything happens to Enrica. The man she loves is a perennial student who had his way with her three years before, when she was only 14. He calls her to his room from time to time, but only to gobble her up like a biscuit Tortoni and turn back to his books. A love-struck lad from her typing class enjoys her in a muddy construction shack.
