Having left Egypt, Gustave and Max are returning home, but still manage to have a few adventures on their way. 11 March 1851 they find themselves in Naples.
Flauberts letter from Naples to Camille Rogier:-
"The number of pimps in this town is a delight. I have been offered little girls of 10 years old, yes indeed my dear sir, children of tender years whose nursemaids were no doubt their procuresses. My friend, i have been offered little girls, but i refused. Which may surprise you, because i have always suspected something between you and Abdallah. No one would keep such an insolent servant unless there were some shameful secret reason. There is a fear that he might take his revenge by some piece of indiscretion.
So I've been sticking to ladies, mature women, large women, I frequent an establishment that offers the maternal pleasures.
Max is content to ravage the heart of the girl in the Hotel where we are staying. He misuses his talents so as to unsettle that young creature who gazes upon him with flames in her eyes and, in the night, probably pisses red for him into her virginal chamber-pot."
