Evidence: | 'Amy Gomm, an electrician's daughter, discovered the erotics of the text in some old Gems and Magnets she found in a cupboard. "What a joy to share my bed with Tom Merry and his chums, and that other band of derring-doers, Harry Wharton & Co. My excitement knew no bounds. My indiscretion was equally boundlesss". When she told her parents about the papers, they naturally burned them'. |
