(Another Henry. The snag is, I can't think of a novel to put him in. On the other hand, Henry James presumably also counts as a historical figure.)
The Portal of a Lady
We are, as it were, conceived by a process that is at once so complicated, so pleasurable - at least, reputedly, by those who have experienced it, which I myself, despite numerous attempts to persuade a member of the fair sex to instruct me in those peculiar delights, have not, to date, and to my utmost regret, managed to do - and yet, in its physical details, so indelicate (I had almost said repellent), that to describe it would be a task that might well prove beyond the ability of one who possessed a sensibility, not to put too fine a point upon it, far less acute than my own, and who might well (as I confess I find myself inclined to do), rather than embarking on an explanation that must prove highly embarrassing to both parties, recommend you to seek guidance from a qualified medical practitioner.
