All Comments on 'The Secret of the Old Cock Ch. 19'

What? Our heroine, the super slut/ whore, this same girl who, if not busy with enjoying being abused, fucks every cock within reach at will, expects George to stay true to her? That's a bit too much! I think it's time and place to demand the empowerment and sexual liberation of men, especially George!

It's not that Mary is holding George to a different standard. She's merely surprised at this development, as anyone would be. As it happens, at this point in the story at least, the matter is entirely an innocent one. I want to especially make the point that whether people are prudes or sexually liberated, they never abdicate the right to feel their feelings or have their expectations. It's what a person does when confronted with those feelings or expectations that indicates their character. Mary didn't storm off, she listened and learned the situation.
