"Finally, I did achieve an hour's slumber--from which I was aroused by
gratuitous and horribly exhausting congress with a small hairy
hermaphrodite, a total stranger."
What's the literal meaning of this sentence?
A bad dream. Why not keep it simple? Yet when Humbert adds, as if in
exculpation, "a total stranger" ... why, that's funny.
