Summary
Hedonism is a sin. This is a memoir of seemingly quite hedonistic things happening between an angel and a demon, both possessed of corporeal forms that crave, like all corporeal forms, to be tended-to. They do things together that feel good to the body, ease the mind's turbulence for a time, and provide release for both.
But pleasurable acts are not inherently hedonistic, unless they are committed outside of what love demands. That could be love for oneself, or love for another.
At the end of "The After-Hours Do," it is the summer of 1890 and Aziraphale has just spent a VERY hedonistic couple of years at the Portland Place Club. He has the above realisation regarding hedonism and sin...
Which is a relief, because in this piece, Aziraphale chronicles the 1890s as a "memoir of love" in his "Highly Confidential" journal. Wouldn't it be daunting to think it was all just sin?
