There are some representative excerpts (NSFW, by the way) @ those
pages as well, but here's my favorite, uh, passage:

Sometimes I tried to introduce my prick into the rosy little orifice
of Mary's backside, but, although the finger-frigging gave her much
additional pleasure while her cunt was operated upon by my virile
member, she as yet could not support the insertion of my large prick.
I had not even attempted little Lizzie, but one day, when Miss Evelyn
and Mary were again under menstruation, and I had dear Lizzie all to
myself, she was seized with such an irresistible desire to ease
herself, that she had only time to get behind a bush and squat down. I
remained waiting for her, when she called to me, to ask if I had any
paper. I advanced to give her some. She was in a half-standing
position, with her clothes held up to her waist. While giving her the
paper, my eyes accidentally fell upon what she had voided. I was
struck with its extraordinary thickness. I made no observation at the
time, but it raised an idea that preoccupied me much. I had often
thought over the pleasure that fucking Mrs. Benson's bum-hole had
given me, hence I had tried to initiate both Miss Evelyn and Mary in
that delightful route of pleasure, but, as before stated, had been
unable to succeed with them from the great development of my weapon.
Thinking that if they could not bear the insertion, there could be no
possibility of success with my younger and less developed sister, I
had never attempted with Lizzie more than the insertion of one finger.
It is true, with her it seemed to produce more excitement than either
upon Miss Evelyn or Mary. The sight of the extraordinary dimensions of
the matter she had voided now suggested the idea that if her
apparently very small and rosy-lipped bottomhole could allow so large
a mass to come out, with gentle efforts my scarcely larger machine
might be inserted. I determined to try the initiation into that route
of delight the very next day....

Mary and Lizzie, by the way, are our humble (and adolescent)
narrator's younger (not to mention just plain young) sisters, in
descending order by age ...
