The Immoral Mr. Teas
A typical scene
Mr. Teas attends an appointment with his dentist, who must perform an extraction of a molar. Naturally, the dentist has an assistant—a stunningly beautiful and not-quite modestly dressed assistant. The application of analgesics appropriate to the procedure quickly releases Mr. Teas’ fertile imagination, and we see the scene through this viewpoint. Rather than the typical...

Real people in Juliette
A long audience with Pope Pius VI is one of the most extensive scenes in Juliette. The heroine shows off her learning to the Pope (whom she most often addresses by his secular name “Braschi”) with a verbal catalogue of alleged immoralities committed by his predecessors. The audience ends, like almost every other scene in the narrative, with an orgy.
