remember.'
I nodded,
concentrating hard, wanting to please him. My grandfather's
approval was the most important thing in the world to me and I was
mindful of his instructions - thumb uppermost, grip firm but not
too tight, wrist loose.
'Eye on the
target, Jamie-boy,' he said. 'Are you watching the target?'
'Yes, sir.'
The target in question was a pair of round, creamy-white buttocks
belonging to Nell, one of my grandfather's maids, who was presently
touching her toes - with skirts drawn up to her waist and drawers
down to her ankles - in the middle of his study.
Lowly maids in
Victorian England, whose lives are an endless round of unremitting
toil, must surely dream of better things - yet more pitiful by far
is the plight of those unfortunate souls who find themselves in the
service of a strict disciplinarian. James Montague is a man who
delights in watching young women writhe and squirm... seeing
creamy-white buttocks turn first pink, then red, then purple...
hearing gasps of dismay turn to shrill cries of anguish.
And maids are
not alone in feeling the hot kiss of cane and strap, for James'
three wards - innocent Catherine, flirtatious Victoria and lovely,
spirited Elizabeth - are obliged to bare their bottoms with
distressing regularity. A visit by James' godson Frederick merely
adds to their woes, for the young man wishes to study the noble art
of spanking... and who better to teach him than the stern master of
Bleekston Hall?
Hard
Strokes
I saw her
gather herself. I drew back my arm and swiped her hard across the
buttocks, the crack of leather against flesh loud in the still
room. She flinched at the blow, but made not a sound. Brave though
she assuredly was I knew she wouldn't remain silent for long, since
a heavy tawse wielded with conviction will test the mettle of even
the most courageous. Silence would give way to gasps, and gasps to
groans, though it would go no further than that. There would be no
shrieking and certainly no blubbering, for my governess was made of
sterner stuff.
Obliged To Bend introduced James
Montague, Victorian gentleman of leisure and master spanker. Their Master's Pleasure described his continuing adventures. Now, in Hard Strokes , comes the
concluding part of James's story.
With his sweet
young wards, their governess Irene Hammond and a houseful of maids
in need of constant discipline, life for James has grown rather
hectic. Cane, strap and paddle have never been busier, in fact, yet
he cannot afford to relax, for fresh victims soon arrive on the
scene - women from the village guilty of various misdemeanours, his
former maid-of-all-work, Polly, and a beautiful but rash young
woman who foolishly tries to rob him. Has the master of Bleekston
Hall bitten off more than he can chew, or will his strong right arm
rise to the challenge?
