ABSTRACT

Jane, an Englishwoman, went to Ruritania to work, and there she met and married Fred, a Ruritanian man with whom she had fallen in love. He told her that although the law of his country allowed him to take more than one wife, he felt that she was so special he would never do so. After a few months Jane tired of his adoring, but boring, company and decided to return home. She soon forgot about Fred, and began to form a relationship with Tarzan, who had been briefly married to Jane’s mother. Jane’s mother had died two years previously, and shortly after meeting, Jane and Tarzan married. However, after the ceremony Jane could not bring herself to have sexual intercourse with Tarzan, as she is tormented by the thought of his relationship with her mother.
