A smoky gun blast would server better cutting off for a moment the oxygen supply. Never thought of that before.
He did force himself; he even says that. She disappointed because she wants him to love her. Our philandering hero wants to get it off and mamalles her.

Penn treated him not as an equal. Sam never let it go.
Pepys just following his plan for this little diversion. He knew those girls were there. This was not the first time since the Deb cosa (sorry, pun); he had his eyes out once or twice on breaks with his warden or her proxy. No surprises here.
