The story

Godwin reveals that her body is that of a pregnant woman who died by suicide by leaping off Tower Bridge; Godwin replaced the woman's brain with that of the fetus, giving her an infant's mind.

Bella accepts, but soon discovers masturbation and sexual pleasure, leading her to run off with Duncan Wedderburn, a debauched lawyer, to Lisbon.

Duncan attempts to further stunt her growth to no avail, and indulges in drinking and gambling.
