Aphra Behn is in [[Tyburn]] | Aphra Behn is in [[Tyburn]] as they hang [[Edward Coleman]]. As he dies for his Catholicism, Behn muses idly about how easily she could take his place. Her political views are well enough known to her friends, radical enough to place her in a similar predicament. At last she walks away, the twin silences of sympathy and her own complicity accompanying her as she treks to the [[Inferno (club)|House of the Infernal]]. As she comes to the brothel, she asks to see the Jesuitess, and is led to an almost carnival attraction. The proprietor tells of a creature who has the cunning and malignance of a [[Jesuit]], but appears as a woman, all while having inhuman internal organs. Finally, the Jesuitess is shown, a pathetic, drugged woman who is unable to form a coherent thought, let alone talk. As the other guests depart, disappointed, Behn approaches the proprietor and makes an offer - she wishes to purchase the girl. | ||
