Filthy, Dirty Victorian Lit

I've been reading Raffles: The Amateur Cracksman, which was a very popular Victorian novel about two upper class gentlemen-thieves nicknamed "Raffles" and "Bunny"

A few random quotes:

"I was never in your rooms before to-night. But I fagged for you at school, and you said you remembered me."

"But is that wise when he's the man we've got to diddle?"

"Because he had been kind to me at school, when he was captain of the eleven, and I his fag, I had dared to look for kindness from him now."

"And for many seconds we stood staring in each other's eyes."

"All right Bunny, there's no hanky-panky this time."

(The entire book is full of stuff like this. I mean, just look at the title)
It's terribly amusing because it is loaded with phrases that seem very non-Victorian... much more fun than looking for dirty jokes in Shakespeare, because apparently here it is completely inadvertent.

I suppose one must read this back-to-back with Truman Capote or something.
