"John looked at Gerald's classical profile in the flickering light of a candle and suddenly thought that he would have made a very attractive girl. The more he thought of this the more he thought what a pity it was that Gerald was not a girl, especially at this moment now that they were alone in this secluded hole (and I bet that wasn't the only hole he was thinking about). If only he were..he made an involuntary movement toward him then sat back on the coal and told himself not to be a damn fool. Gerald idly threw a lump of coal into the black extremity of the bunker blissfully unaware of the wild desires that were dominating his friend's mind."
