"Good morning," Edward said. "I hope everyone got through this weekend safely. Today we are discussing puberty." He talked for a few minutes about the biological changes that cause puberty and the results for both boys and girls.

"Since puberty can be very different for boys and girls, we are going to split up for the remainder of the class period. I had hoped my sister Alice would be here today to talk to the girls, but she was unable to make it. Fortunately, Miss Bennet has graciously agreed to talk to you, ladies. Since you girls outnumber us, you remain here and she'll be with you in just a moment. I hope you will take this chance to ask her any questions you would not feel comfortable discussing with me.

"Boys, we'll go to the room next door and have our discussion. All of you - if there are any questions you don't feel comfortable bringing up today, please remember that the question box is available to you as well."

Edward gestured for the boys to follow him from the room.

Eliza closed her eyes and heartily wished that she were someone else entirely.

"I'm not in the manner of understanding you," she said. "Undergarments made of leather would be highly impractical. They would be clearly visible under all but the heaviest materials, and not terribly comfortable."

She was going to regret asking this, she felt. "Why would one pierce a corset?"

Molly couldn't help staring at Eliza. "That's kinda the point of wearing a leather corset. And you don't wear it under anything, you just...wear it. Like, out."

"No," she shook her head at the misunderstanding, "You pierce yourself."

She stuck out her tongue to show off the metal ball on the top of the piercing. "See?" She swallowed the saliva that had pooled in her mouth. "It increases the stimulation."

Claire was containing her laughter, but barely -- she was turning red and had her hand over her mouth.

She had decided she loved Molly.

Eliza kept thinking that she was accustomed to this island. Not its vagaries and strangenesses, but at least cultured enough that she would not openly stare at any of the individuals passing by.

Eliza kept discovering how very wrong she was.

"Has someone bolted your tongue?"

"Uh huh. I couldn't eat for like, a solid month. I could take it out, but it'd close up, and then I'd just have to go through the whole thing again. I have others, too, but I don't usually show them off."

She glanced around at the other girls. "I guess I could, since it's not like they're anywhere that everyone here hasn't seen before, but it's still class."

Miss Eliza Bennet was never doing another favour for another teacher again.

"I am very sorry for what happened to your tongue," she said, drawing herself up as best she could. "Pray do not illustrate further; I do believe we all understand."

She didn't want to imagine where the other metal rods were, or what one might do during a thunder-shower.

"You don't have to be sorry. Like I said, I did it on purpose and for good reasons." Not that she'd really had a chance to try it out yet, but she'd get there eventually.

Eliza instructed herself firmly not to ask the girl what possible reason she might have to mutilate herself in this fashion.

"Might I inquire as to your reasoning?"

"Rumor is that it drives the guys nuts. In the good way."
