    Dr James Kirkham sat in his office and looked back over his journals. He had left Yorkshire nearly ten years ago to seek his fortune in London, determined to use all the skills he developed working with his mentor, Dr Helliwell.

His first patient in London turned out to be very profitable indeed. It was also one of his most unusual cases. At that point in his career. his patients were normally treated for hysteria using his chosen method of stimulation, the cure administered by his strong doctor's hands or his talented tongue. However, this first case was entirely something else and would always be his personal favourite.

He was called by Lord William Sanderson to attend a meeting at his gentleman’s club. There, tucked in a discreet corner of the library, Lord William, who with his large moustache looked like an elderly walrus, leaned in to speak to Dr Kirkham.

“This is a damned business, and I am told that I can rely on your discretion in more delicate matters.”

“Of course, your lordship. My success is based on being discreet.”

“Well, it is my daughter. She wants a child.”

“I am happy to examine her if you wish.”

“That is exactly what I do wish; now be quiet, man and let me finish. The problem is her husband, Peter DeVere. He is a molly. Do you know what that is?”

“It is not a term I am familiar with.”

“He likes to lie with other men. Exclusively.”

Dr James was shocked; he had heard of such things, of course, but you didn’t tend to see that in ...

Well, you get the picture, the sap was rising, and well, these things happen. Most of us leave that thing behind as we mature and discover the fairer sex. Not my son-in-law, though. That is his preference. My daughter loves him but wants a family, and there is no chance of that. The marriage had not been consummated. I tried to talk her into an annulment, but she adores him; he is her best friend, and she is content for him to do whatever makes him happy, even if he cannot or will not give her a child.”

“How can I help?”

“Well, you are a good-looking man. You are also similar in build and colouring to my son-in-law. I think you would be the perfect stand-in. I propose that you come down to my house in the country for the weekend for some ‘medical intervention’. My daughter will be there and my son-in-law won’t. He is away hunting with friends, though hunting for what exactly remains to be seen. I will see you then; Hampson will see you out.”

Before Dr Kirkham had a chance to reply, he was ushered out of the library by a uniformed servant. He supposed his silence was considered agreement. He imagined that Lord Sanderson was not used to being refused. So, a weekend in the country it was. His medical duties now included siring children for his patients.

Arriving at Lord Sanderson's ancestral home, Dr Kirkham hoped ...
