'A Chastitute is a person without holy orders who has never lain down with a woman . . . a rustic celibate by force of circumstance peculiar to countrysides where the Catholic tradition of long-life sexual abstemiousness is encouraged and . . . free-range sex is absolutely taboo . . .'
John Bosco, who hasn't the 'makings of a dacent sin in him', is a bachelor farmer and all is searching for is a plain decent woman to share his life. He 'nearly got there thousand times but nearly never bulled a cow'. The two things which militated most against his endeavours with the opposite sex were Missionaries and Townies.
