This comparison of the two sisters truly reached fruition when the two began an apparent estrus period, most evident in the younger of the two, who from that day forth stimulated males inadvertently, through a particularly strong tumescent manner. It began when she reached the developmental stage of menarche (but would cause general dismay, an almost feverish mania amongst puberty seeking males when she achieved nubility at fifteen years of age, the most observed case was that of little Johnny Ficklestein who became so obsessed with the young Greene girl’s body, that he helplessly fell from a nearby tree while spying on her as she slept).
No one observed it more than a pubescent Graham Greene. Elisa was taken to continuing her little girl ways even as she began to show signs of womanhood. This mixture of adolescence and anatomical adjustment became evident for Graham as he first began his secondary education. It can be said that of anyone in the household, Graham was the most affected by his father’s present. He remembered, whilst the rest of the family allowed themselves to forget, that the young girl occupying two rooms down the hall was not his sister, but an unexplained charity case forced upon them by an unapologetic father who dotted over the youngster and demanded complete acceptance. Graham did not express this continued knowledge in words, but more aptly in his manner and thoughts (i.e. in a extreme Anokhinian way).
It was a particular Sunday morning and Graham was patrolling the house looking for something to do with himself when he heard Elisa humming from behind a half-closed bathroom door. At which point, Graham passed by and caught, framed in the mirror and absorbed in her own thoughts, a nude Elisa, who was cutting her own hair, of which, in her seemingly odd fashion for unique decisions, she was want to do (she also preferred not to wear the clothing her adopted mother purchased for her at department stores, but cut the fabric to specified proportions and fashioned her own attire). Graham, who inadvertently observed Elisa’s changes when she wore a child’s skirt four sizes too small a few months before and wandered the household with her underwear visible, watched his younger sibling perform the entire ritual of clipping her shoulder length hair from the safety of the shadowy hallway. Unbeknownst to the warbling young maid, who had always preferred drip drying and never considered the affect her puckering chest might have, she was performing a very special show for an audience who was becoming awakened to her body’s possibilities, for Graham, in all of his crafty wisdom, had positioned himself so that Elisa remained in full view for the entire operation. Once she was finished and having moved onto clipping toenails, Graham was able to witness much more of her and would have continued his enjoyment had it not been for the arrival of a particularly busy domestic assistant who had been placed in charge of managing the ever growing needs of the eccentric young girl. Graham was able to escape into an adjoining bedroom before he was caught salivating over his sibling’s naked mirror image.
However, from that day forth, Graham was aware of his half-sister, and took great care to witness more scenes. Elisa, remaining fixated upon the same subjects she had been for many years, volunteered opportunities by innocently continuing to behave like a child. When Graham walked in on her as she bathed, she did nothing to cover herself. When Graham asked to see a particularly large bruise she had acquired on her upper thigh, she readily lifted up her dress for him to inspect it. Elisa, even as she began to fill out her clothing, did not bother with bras, underpants, sizes, or styles, so she was often falling out of her dresses, exposing juvenile breasts as she hung upside down from trees, or revealing a pubertal snatch during gymnastics that Graham seemed to never grow tired of watching.
It also increased Graham’s popularity ten-fold, after Bucky Cunningham, Graham’s sometimes best friend, stayed the night and related to other young, sexually starving, yet evolving boys how Elisa had shown up for dinner in a transparent blouse (which must have been her mothers, since it was far too large for her) and nothing else: no panties, no training bra, no pants or shorts, just a draping, see-through, shirt. Bucky wet their lips further by explaining how she’d remained in the blouse for the entire evening, ate her dinner, scampered off, sat and watched the screen with them, and finally, kissed Graham good night, without ever bothering to put anything else on. Before Graham knew it, he had young lads from three different schools requesting the opportunity to stay over at his house, and Graham, being a social animal, wallowed in the new found acclaim, regardless of how he’d received it, accepted every single boys request and set up a schedule in order to be fair.
Before long, Graham was receiving gifts of all sorts from boys hoping to be placed on his schedule. Not being anything less than an entrepreneur, Graham initiated a pay scale for a particular boy’s selected appointment (complete with a shiny brochure with Elisa’s portrait on the cover and all sorts of promising slogans, such as: “witness nude gymnastics” and “voyeurs! watch her shower”). For ten numerals a boy was guarantee nudity; for twenty, he could see her dance or do gymnastics (she never tired of performing these for Graham); for thirty, he was given the unique opportunity to spy on her from a sky light on the roof as she bathed; for forty, he was guaranteed nudity, a dance or gymnastics display, a bath, and her company for the entire evening (Elisa adored her older brother and was always delighted if he asked her to play with him and his friends); finally, for fifty digits, the boy received all of the above, plus one prearranged chance to touch a part of her body of his choice (usually consisting of Graham orchestrating an accidental scenario of some sort, such as simply throwing her onto the paying customer as he sat in a chair and leaving it up to him to fondle her before she squirmed away).
By and by, Graham knew exactly what Elisa looked like naked, he knew the twirling fluff between her legs, he knew the pink lilies that surrounded furrowed nipples on her chest, he knew the heart shaped muscles that formed above her hind. He also knew that Elisa was jealous that her older brother and sister were being sent out of the district to learn what appeared at the time to be the mysteries of the universe. For even as Elisa remained juvenile in her understanding of social relationships, she was, like all Greene’s, a bon vivant of erudition and it unnerved her to no end that Margaret and Graham were getting so far ahead of her in their studies. She would often pout or throw tantrums concerning the subject, even going so far as to demand from their mother that she be allowed to attend secondary school two years ahead of schedule because she believed it was “not fair” that Graham and Margaret be allowed to “know more” than her.
As Graham’s interest in Elisa grew, occupying his night thoughts (in the worst Nabakovian sense [Adaesq more than Lo-like, obviously]), his adolescent fantasies of her walking into his room one night and crawling into bed, his imaginings of what it was like to touch her, even he realized that it was becoming an unhealthy obsession, for he was no longer content simply spying on his adopted sister as she dressed or filching glimpses of her rouge maw as she performed yet another cartwheel in front of him. Graham had began desperate attempts, not only was he walking in on her as she bathed, but now waited for her to get out of the tub and would literally break in on her and pretend under foolish pretenses that he’d fallen against her. No longer was Graham willing to watch her only, he wanted to feel that appetizing skin, he wanted her, who had caused his aching, to quell it. So, he began to tutor her.
