Peter, a member of their group, brings a couple he knows from work, Joey and Marco. Marco has a few fantasies he has wanted to satisfy that he can definitely experiment with in the Silk Dungeon, but Joey not only seems to be on a different wavelength, Nick wonders if he wants to be here at all.
  It's not just Nick who notices. When they aren't playing around or recovering from scenes, everyone conspires behind Joey's and Marco's back to ensure the newcomers will have a good time and leave with a stronger relationship than when they arrived.

  As The Docameron's tales twist and turn, engage and enlighten, they also entertain and – above all – reward repeated reading.

  Louisa MacDonald was born in 1845, one of eleven children of part Scottish descent.  Together with three of her sisters they were known as the ‘MacDonald sisters’ primarily because of their marriages to well-known men.   
  In 1866 she married the wealthy industrialist Alfred Baldwin in a double wedding with her sister Anne.   
  After giving birth to Stanley on the 3rd August 1867, who would go on to become Prime Minister, she drifted into an unhappy life in her then residence in Worcestershire.  She had at least one miscarriage and days alone depressed and in darkness. 
  During the 1870’s the couple travelled to find a lasting cure and tried a variety of treatments which led to her recovery in 1883.  She now became a leading figure in her local village of Wilden, near Stourbridge. 
  Her writing career of novels, short stories and poetry is often overlooked, as was the case with so many women, yet her works reveal many talents and a gift for melding odd and weird circumstances into seemingly everyday life.   
  Louisa Baldwin died in 1925.
