Bernardine Wall, a 20-year-old English student at Cambridge

Bernardine Wall, a 20-year-old English student at Cambridge. In the witness box, she said she had read both the expurgated and the whole versions of Chatterley and much preferred the latter, which had more realistically (she felt) evoked relations between men and women. It wasn t the most exciting moment in the witness box, but it brought something important to the trial - the spectacle of a young woman who had read the dirty book and about whom the jury might ask, " Has she been depraved and corrupted?" before looking at her calm, sweet, clever face and concluding: perhaps not. Was this the moment whenthe British decided they were no longer susceptible to depravity and corruption? And that they no longer needed moral guardians to tell them what they could do, or think, or read, or say out loud?
