very near equal to the largest siz'd Male; they had full and rough
Faces, large Shoulders, Hands and Feet; and but slender Hips, and small
breasts: In short, they resembled Men in all respects, but their
Dresses, their Gates and Voices, and indeed they were suspected to be
Hermaphrodites. These Ladies, I am inform'd, paid frequent Visits to
each other, and 'twas always observ'd, that no Body was admitted to
their splendid Entertainments, which heighten'd the Curiosity of a
Servant in the Family of _Margureta_, to attempt a Discovery of their
Intrigues, they always locking themselves in, the moment they had

mutually employ'd their Hands with each other, in the same Manner, and

any farther Particulars: They had not continu'd their Sportings long
before _Margureta_, which officiated now instead of the Man, arose from
_Barbarissa_, and turning towards the Window with her Cloaths up in her
Arms, _Nicolini_ immediately discover'd something hang down from her
Body of a reddish Colour, and which was very unusual: They both
