Help!!

[Francesca F.]

Hello to everybody!! I'd like to know if someone knows from which book is exerted this sentence:

"When I said I'd done a wank thinking of you you did not take it well. But I had not the courage to tell you that I love you."​

I translated this from Italian, but I'm not sure this is the right translation because I don't know the title of the original book. Thank you all!!!

I've never seen Buk use the word "wank" anywhere.

I think that WANK is a translation from English to Italian and back to English.
I agree that Buk would never use the word WANK.

 

[ESO9]

Right. I hear you , Bos. The sentence isn't the least bit familiar either.

That must have been some translation.

This is as close as I can find, it's from Ham On Rye:

I thought of rushing in, grabbing the cat and running, but I didn't have the nerve. I was afraid that the bulldog would attack me. The knowledge that I didn't have the courage to do what was necessary made me feel terrible.

Which isn't even close to what you've got there.

Has to make you wonder who you've been reading.

Oh, I see now...

"I thought of rushing in, wanking the cat and running, but I didn't have the nerve. "
