 |  | What could tease a story out of you? He was thinking that it must be that mothers teach children about tickling, a thing both pleasurable and unpleasant depending on its situation. At first it is a game of toes or pudgy cheeks or flanks and then what, a boyfriend or a schoolyard bully, the discovery of the inability to tickle oneself? Doubtlessly torturers have used this too, they seize any excess. This is the second instance recently of torture in his reveries. It frightens him to think of. Worse still would be the parent of a tortured victim. Let's think of pleasanter things, shall we? 
 For instance Italian ices, the sirups arrayed in the cart according to the spectrum, the white slush in the paper cone and the last puddle of the diluted sweetness.
