There were three of them, a golden chestnut thorough-bred mare, with a thin-lipped mouth, that showed the teeth, with black prominent eyes, and legs like a stag's, rather thin but beautifully shaped, and full of fire and spirit, for Maria Nikolaevna;

adjective
Phoebe, herself, the hackney'd, thorough-bred Phoebe, to whom all modes and devices of pleasure were known and familiar, found, it seems, in this exercise of her art to break young girls, the gratification of one of those arbitrary tastes, for which there is no accounting.Not that she hated men, or did not even prefer them to her own sex; but when she met with such occasions as this was, a satiety of enjoyments in the common road, perhaps too, a secret bias, inclined her to make the most of pleasure, wherever she could find it, without distinction of sexes.In this view, now well assured that she had, by her touches, sufficiently inflamed me for her purpose, she roll'd down the bed-cloaths gently, and I saw myself stretched nak'd, my shift being turned up to my neck, whilst I had no power or sense to oppose it.Even my glowing blushes expressed more desire than modesty, whilst the candle, left (to be sure not undesignedly) burning, threw a full light on my whole body. "No!" says Phoebe, "you must not, my sweet girl, think to hide all these treasures from me.My sight must be feasted as well as my touch .
La misma Phoebe, la ramera de pura raza para quien todas las formas y recursos del placer eran conocidos y familiares, hallaba, aparentemente, en este ejercicio de su arte para domar jovencitas, la gratificación de uno de esos gustos arbitrarios que son totalmente inexplicables. No es que odiara a los hombres, ni que no los prefiriera a su propio sexo, pero cuando hallaba una ocasión como ésta, la saciedad de los placeres del camino trillado y quizás también una secreta parcialidad, la inclinaban a sacar el mayor placer posible, donde quiera que lo encontrara, sin distinción de sexos. Con ese propósito, la certeza de que con sus caricias me había inflamado lo suficiente para sus propósitos, bajó suavemente la ropa de cama y me vi extendida y desnuda, mientras me subía la camisa hasta el cuello, en tanto que yo no tenía la fuerza ni el sentido necesarios para oponerme a ello. Hasta mis sonrojos expresaban más el deseo que la modestia, mientras que la vela que había quedado encendida (sin duda, a propósito) iluminaba todo mi cuerpo. —No —dice Phoebe—.
