Still going through those letters. Fitz seems to have been one of the only one of Oscar's friends to commit this much detail to paper. Others, notably a chap I'll call Fitz and another called Wood, don't do it as often, while Oscar's cousin Litton, a complete rake, tended to go through so many he couldn't remember many details. But Fitz is down for the blow-by-blow. Here, he was in London and dropped in to Guest's house for dinner.
...Guest had been out to the Heath and returned with an American man. We had dinner. The American hadn't much conversation. Guest talked around him. He didn't seem to mind. When I asked he said he was travelling with his brother, who had business at one or other museum, and he was amusing himself in the meantime. Stocky man, flaming red hair, well-cut suit. (Do you remember the row in Edinburgh when G. dragged some rough as a badger's navvy home to fuck, to wake and find half his clothes gone? I haven't seen a rough there since then.) After we went into the library and as soon as G heard the door shut behind Mrs B., he had his hand in the Yank's trousers and there I stood, wondering whether to leave or stay for the show. (I stayed.)
What I have always found a little cold about Guest is his foresight, that is his planning, but I admit it has its advantages. Within minutes he had lard - lard! - spread over the American's cock, the American on the sofa with his trousers round his ankles and his shirt pulled up, and Guest, naked from the waist down, working and working at his cock, which was frankly elephantine. I wouldn't have chanced it, myself. But Guest fears nothing. Nothing that will fit up his arse, anyway. (Remember 'the Oak' from Keble? I couldn't but Guest did.)
