Jean and Humbert, birds of a feather without Wild Oats


Consider this from Lolita and I will explain.

After all, Dante fell madly in love with his Beatrice when she was nine, a sparkling girleen, painted and lovely, and bejeweled, in a crimson frock, and this was in 1274, in Florence, at a private feast in the merry month of May.
