I think the purpose of this was to make me run so that the circulation should come back to my feet and my feet would again become sensible to pain, because I think I omitted to tell you that after one has received a certain amount of beating of the feet, the pain is no longer felt by the person tortured.

"Are you a little perverse?" the lover asks dubiously, but he takes his visitor on a tour. The sight of an old anniversary present in the lover's bedroom is too much even for the husband's reserve. He seizes a piece of sculpture, beats the lover to death, and disposes of the corpse like a sanitation man hauling away the weekend debris. The husband's fate...
