Lolita audiobook excerpt - A Double Vanilla with Hot Fudge (performed by Jeremy Irons)

“A modern child, an avid reader of movie magazines, an expert in dream-slow close-ups, might not think it too strange, I guessed, if a handsome, intensely virile grown-up friend”… if a handsome, intensly virile grown-up friend does what?
