QUOTE : The new doctor, you say?” “Here to tend to your scratches,” he confirmed with a bow so slight as to be insulting. His low, smooth voice made the task sound distinctly . . . unchaste. Her bewilderment increased. Such a raw, animal presence did not generally belong to doctors.

This one . . . this one would say very nasty things in bed, and laugh at her when she protested, and make her like it anyway.
