-
-The dicta of the Wise Man concerning discipline have been the source
-of inexpressible dolour to children for very many centuries; and it
-has only been within the last sixty years that ferocity in the
-treatment of infants (I am speaking of English children, Jean Jacques
-Rousseau shamed the French out of the practice of beating their
-offspring, nearly a hundred years ago) has been gradually diminishing.
-In the eighteenth century the lot of the British juvenile was
-certainly a cruel one That admirable woman, the mother of the
-Wesleys, held that a child should be made to desist from crying and to
-“fear the rod” at the mature age of twelve months; and Miss Maria
-Semple, writing on education in 1812, tells a story of a lady who was
-educated in early years by a relative. “On a certain day in every week
-she received corporal chastisement. If she had committed faults, ‘the
-punishment was due;’ if she had not, she probably would in the week
-ensuing. At the distance of more than half-a-century, the memory of
-this person, who bore a public character of piety and virtue, was
-spoken of, and justly, with aversion by the person she had thus
-treated.” Thus Miss Maria Semple.—“G. A. S.,” in the _Illustrated
-London News_.

-INTRODUCTORY LETTER OF THE AUTHORESS.
-
-
-My Dear Nellie,—
-
-Since writing you my confessions, in that series of letters which you
-flattered me by calling “most interesting facts, and deliciously
-voluptuous reading for lovers of the rod,” the following curious
-narrative has been entrusted to my confidential keeping by a young
-Countess of my acquaintance; but as there are no secrets between us,
-and I think it may afford some little pleasure in the perusal, I
-hasten to copy it out for you, from notes which I made day by day at
-the bedside of the dear young creature, as she told the particulars to
-me, at my visits during her long and painful illness, now, I am
-afraid, close upon a fatal termination; and you may guess how grieved
-I am to think that, although I now reserve her name as a secret, too
-solemn to be entrusted, even to you, the stillness of the grave will
-soon do away with all necessity for such reticence. Should my
-confessions ever be printed after our time, this tale certainly ought
-to bear them company, either as prefix or addenda.
-
- Believe me, dear Nellie,
- Your ever affectionate friend,
- Rosa Belinda Coote.

-
-_The Early Life of Lucille_
-
-
-Since, dear Rosie, you are so interested to hear my birching and
-whipping experiences, I will try to recollect them as well as
-possible, but hope you will consider my weak state of health, and not
-press me to tell you too much at once.
-
-Perhaps you do not know that almost from my infancy it was arranged
-that I should marry the Earl of Ellington, who was about twelve years
-my senior, being a family compact of a purely mercenary character,
-designed to consolidate some very doubtful title deeds, which now that
-our union has proved unfruitful, are likely to entail great expense
-and annoyance to our heirs-at-law.
-
-My father, you know, was the Honourable Mr. Warton, and my mother died
-in giving birth to myself, so that I was brought up under a nurse, and
-afterwards, when about seven years old, a young lady was engaged as
-governess to instil my juvenile mind with the rudiments of learning,
-preparatory to being sent to a finishing school.
-
-This lady’s name was Miss Birch, and although my papa had known her
-father, Dr. Birch, for some years, I now believe that the fascination
-of her name had great influence with him in making a selection from
-the numerous, and in many instances more eligible ladies, who applied
-for the situation.
-
-Miss Birch was a dark lady about thirty years of age when she entered
-our family, very good-looking, rather large pouting mouth, set off
-with lovely rows of most pearly white teeth, which, when she smiled or
-said much showed to beautiful effect in contrast to her rather swarthy
-complexion, dark brown eyes, and thick bushy black arching eyebrows,
-her figure was well moulded and plump, and being about five feet six,
-she had quite a commanding presence.
-
-I was nearly eight years old before I began to notice the significant
-looks which occasionally passed between papa and governess, but hints
-were so often thrown out about the necessity of procuring a good birch
-rod for the naughty bottom of Lucille, that I was gradually awakened
-to the discovery of some most mysterious kind of understanding which
-must subsist between them. My infant brain was much puzzled and
-alarmed, as I already felt in imagination the tingling smart of the
-green twigs I so much dreaded.
-
-Miss Birch seemed more exacting and severe over my lessons, especially
-when papa happened to be in the schoolroom, and now I will tell you my
-first experience of the rod.
-
-One day after failing both in spelling and arithmetic she rang the
-bell, and ordered the servant to request Mr. Warton’s presence in the
-schoolroom for a few minutes. Papa entered with a very serious look,
-requesting Miss Birch to inform him of the cause of sending for him.
-
-“Mr. Warton,” said my governess, “you know we have had many serious
-conversations about the necessity for proper correction in case Miss
-Lucille should continue so inattentive to her studies, to-day she has
-failed in everything, and I am certain that unless her energies are
-sharpened up by the stinging smart of the rod she will go from bad to
-worse; I am so averse to wield the birch myself, and would much
-prefer that her papa should take in hand the serious whipping she
-ought to have.”
-
-Papa.—“Lucille, you hear what Miss Birch says, (I noticed him cast
-most excited and amorous looks towards the governess as he spoke), she
-has been most forbearing with you, and interceded with me many times
-to save your bottom, and even now cannot bring herself to lift her own
-hand to make you smart a little; it must indeed be a serious fault to
-induce her to ask me to use the rod, but, ‘Spare the rod and spoil the
-child,’ has always been a maxim with me; lay her across your lap, Miss
-Birch, and pull up her clothes, whilst I get the rod out of the table
-drawer.”
-
-Miss Birch, with heaving bosom, and quite a deep blush upon her
-face.—“I feel as ashamed at baring her naughty posteriors as if I was
-going to suffer the degradation and humiliation myself, but come,
-Lucille dear, you must bear it, and I hope you will be a better and
-more diligent girl in future.” Then catching me by the wrist, as I
-stood by her side covered with confusion, she tried to lay me across
-her knees, but I struggled and screamed, “No! No!! No!!! I won’t be
-whipped! Oh! Oh!! dear papa, do forgive me this time!” my face quite
-crimson and streaming with tears.
-
-Papa, having got out the rod, a fine switch of long thin birch twigs,
-tied up with velvet and silk ribbons at the handle,—“Come! Come!!
-Lucille, this resistance will only make it worse for you.” As he
-seized and threw me on the governess’s lap, Miss Birch securing my
-head well under her left arm, speedily pulled up dress and skirts,
-till my fat little bottom was exposed in a tight fitting pair of
-drawers, my legs being left to kick about, although I was quite firmly
-secured, and to all intents quite helpless, and my toes could scarcely
-touch the ground.
-
-I could hear papa whisking the birch about, and then he said, “That
-will do famously, Miss Birch, keep her head and shoulders well down as
-you hold up her skirts; much as I pity my darling little Lucille, I
-must do my duty and make her smart for her idleness in school.”
-
-My face was burning hot with the deep blushes of shame, and I
-struggled desperately to free my head from the vice-like pressure of
-Miss Birch’s arm, as I begged with piteous sobs to be let off for this
-once. “Oh! dear papa! Oh! pray don’t beat me!”
-
-Papa.—“Indeed, I must, though every blow will send a pang to my own
-heart, you naughty, bad, inattentive girl, all this has come by your
-great idleness, and trusting too much to the kind heart of your
-governess.” As he said this, three sharp stinging cuts whacked on my
-tight-fitting drawers in quick succession.
-
-The pain was intense, I kicked, writhed and screamed for “Mercy!
-Mercy! Oh! Oh!! I will be good! Oh! Papa! Oh, Miss Birch, do let me
-go!”
-
-Papa, in quite an excited tone, (for I could see nothing), “So you
-mean to be good in future! Do you feel the birch is doing you good
-already? Ha! ha!! my little Lucille, you must have a little more yet
-to make a perfect cure of your idleness.” Whack—whack—whack—whack—four
-more cuts, each one more agonizing than the last, in spite of my
-sobbing and screaming. “Now, Miss Birch,” he continued, “let her feel
-it on the bare flesh, open her drawers so we can see the effects of
-the cuts.”
-
-This was at once done, as I cried, “Ah! Ah!! No! No!! Oh, Papa! How
-cruel!”
-
-Papa.—“What a sight. The rod has made her bottom blush finely. It’s
-best to make her feel sore a few days, or she will soon forget it, and
-relapse into her old ways.”
-
-The drawers were unbuttoned, and I could feel they were quite pulled
-down my thighs, exposing the entire surface of my smarting rump, but
-I had only a few moments for reflection before the blows fell again in
-rapid succession, cutting, tearing, and scratching the skin, whilst
-the boiling blood in my veins seemed to throb as if it must spurt
-through the pores at every burning touch of the rod.
-
-My head was pressed against the tumultuously heaving bosom of my
-governess, and notwithstanding the intensity of my suffering, I could
-plainly hear the beating of her heart, and knew that her thighs were
-tightly compressed together, whilst a strange tremor pervaded her
-entire frame.
-
-“There, there, that will do,” said Papa, in a very excited tone. “I’ve
-drawn the blood for her. Now, Miss Dunce, kneel and kiss the rod, and
-ask your kind governess to forgive you.”
-
-I slipped down on my knees, and hiding my face in my hands in her lap,
-promised Miss Birch “if she would forgive me now, to be a better girl
-in future.”
-
-“That will do. I don’t want to be too hard upon Lucille this time. We
-will leave her to think over her disgrace and shame, and let her
-beware of the birch again,” said Papa, taking Miss Birch’s hand, to
-lead her from the room. “This has been a most agitating scene for your
-governess, who must repose in her private room for a while to recover
-herself.”
-
-The schoolroom door, which opened directly into her private room, was
-closed upon me, and the key turned in the lock, but all my hurts and
-bruises were insufficient to distract my attention from the peculiarly
-warm and excited glances which passed from papa towards my governess,
-whose face was suffused with blushes, and her eyes turned down, as if
-afraid to meet his ardent looks as they passed from the room.
-
-My curiosity was excited so much, that I listened at the keyhole. Papa
-was evidently remaining in the governess’s room. I could hear a
-rustling of her dress, as if some little struggle was taking place; a
-sound of smothered kisses, and soft expostulatory ejaculations, such
-as, “I dare not! Oh! No! No!! Not now! Pray leave me! Oh! Oh!!” Then
-an almost perfect quiet, except for a slight rustling sound, and, now
-and then, broken sighs with heavy breathing.
-
-At last all was quiet, and having now been left more than half-an-hour
-to myself in the schoolroom, I ventured to tap at the door and beg
-Miss Birch to let me into her room, as I would never, never, offend
-again.
-
-After a very slight delay, the door was unlocked, and my governess
-received me with expressions of great tenderness, kissed her poor
-Lucille, and hoped my poor bottom was not too sore. Her eyes were
-melting with what I should now call a soft voluptuous languor, and
-scintillated with extraordinary brilliancy, all of which set my young
-ideas in a flutter of wonderment, as to the extraordinary cause of her
-prolonged emotion.
-
-Things went on pretty smoothly for some time, but I found it quite
-impossible to avoid coming under the rod every now and then, the
-chastisement getting more severe on every fresh occasion.
-
-Papa always had to handle the twigs, and when I began to get older,
-Miss Birch would tie me up and leave the room, as she pretended to be
-quite unable to bear the scene. Still papa would always go into her
-sanctum at the conclusion of my whipping, to talk the matter over with
-my governess.
-
-I will tell you of a fearful birching, the last I had before being
-sent to the Convent School; it does not matter what the fault was, but
-it must have been something very serious. Papa and Miss Birch both
-helped to tie me up on a four poster bed in my own room. I was
-stripped of every thing but my skirts and drawers, which were all
-secured and arranged so as to expose my back parts in the best
-possible manner for whipping. My hands were tied to the bed post high
-above my head, and making me kneel on the bed, one leg was secured at
-the knee to the same post, my other leg being left free to kick about.
-
-Miss Birch vanished, and papa arming himself with a formidable rood,
-elegantly trimmed as usual, began by lecturing me on my fault.
-
-“You impudent girl, I can scarcely believe it of you, Lucille, now you
-are just upon twelve, but this is the last whipping you will get at my
-hands, and I promise you it shall be a sound one, and then I’ll pack
-you off to the convent, with instructions to the sisters to be very
-strict in looking after you.”
-
-“Oh! Oh!! Papa,” I implored, “Have mercy, don’t be so severe, indeed I
-won’t do it again!”
-
-“Hold your tongue, Miss,” he said, impatiently, “you always cry before
-you are hurt, but you shall remember this whipping as long as you
-live;” giving me a slashing cut round my loins, then another, and
-another on each cheek of my buttocks, “how do you like it, you bad
-girl! will you turn over a new leaf when you leave home? Will you?
-Will your? Will you? Will you?” Each question being accompanied by a
-terrific smarter; the blows seemed to cut like a red hot knife, and my
-boiling blood tingled from the tips of my fingers to the ends of my
-toes. I could feel great burning bursting weals rising on my skin at
-every cut; I screamed and plunged till the bed-post creaked with the
-strain, and my wrists and knee were quite pained by the tight
-ligatures by which they were secured.
-
-“Let this be a solemn warning to you, Miss Lucille,” he continued,
-“but I’m afraid all my efforts for your reformation are quite thrown
-away upon such a worthless baggage,” cutting away still more
-furiously, and as I turned my head to scream and implore for mercy, I
-could see how excited he was over the business with flushed face and
-sparkling eyes; he was a fine handsome man of about forty-five, and
-gave me the idea of looking as if in the midst of a tremendous battle.
-
-Anything but a bloodless battle for me; my bottom was soon dripping
-with the ruby drops of my young blood, the sight of which seemed only
-to exasperate him still more.
-
-“Ah! You little wretch. Scream away!” he exclaimed. “It’s a beautiful
-sight to see you writhing and plunging under every scathing cut. May
-it do you good, and draw the imprudence out of your tail. Will you?
-Will you, try and behave better, or shall I send you off to the
-convent at once, in their holiday time? There! There!! There!!!”
-
-He finished with three tremendous cuts, without waiting for my reply,
-and sank back, gasping for breath, into an easy chair.
-
-It was quite a minute or two before my screams and moans of agony
-subsided. Then Miss Birch coming in, released my hands and leg, an
-ordering me to rest on the bed for a while, retired with my father
-locking the door behind them.
-
-The smarting sensation now turned to a delicious voluptuous warmth, as
-I lay under the bed clothes. My right hand was passed all over the
-glowing surface of my buttocks, and seemed at last, quite unwittingly
-to settle itself on my hairless little cunny. I turned on my belly
-with my hand still under me, and wriggling myself about, as I lay
-thinking over all the cuts I had received, gradually found a most
-pleasing sensation from the rubbing of my hand and the two forefingers
-mechanically worked into the slit, squeezing my legs together, I
-rubbed on to increase the pleasurable emotions which I felt driving me
-to strive and obtain, I knew not what. The frenzy now threw me into
-such a state of excitement that my fingers were plunged as far as
-possible up my virgin cunny, as I gasped, writhed, and tossed my
-bottom up and down. The crisis came at last, and my furious efforts
-were rewarded by a most heavenly emission; my soul seemed to flow from
-me at the moment, and left me in a delightful state of voluptuous
-lethargy, which lasted for some minutes, and when at length I regained
-my serenity, it was to find my fingers, cunny, and thighs all sticky
-from the thick spermy emission of my first maiden spend. There was
-also a slight stain of blood, for I had actually ravished myself in my
-furious excitement.
-
-I got up and sponged myself, then lay down to reflect on the curious
-and delicious emotions I had procured for myself, and determining to
-soon have a repetition of my secrets joys, fell asleep to dream of
-being in the arms of a most lovely boy about my own age, who seemed to
-impart to my ravished senses another taste of what I had already felt.
-
-Awaking in a struggle to retain my love-bird, I found myself bedewed
-by another emission, but at last I slept with tranquility, and never
-shall I forget my first taste of joy that day.

-Chapter II.
-
-_The Convent School_
-
-
-My father’s extreme severity made me rather glad when in about a
-week’s time Miss Birch began to make preparations for my departure to
-Belgium, and in less than three weeks I found myself installed as a
-pupil in the seminary of the Ursuline nuns at Brussels. The Lady
-Superior struck me from the very first as being a frightfully severe
-woman; the morning after my arrival she sent for me to hear her read
-my father’s instructions, and remarked that he had given her _carte
-blanche_ as to punishment, and that in their school discipline was
-strictly enforced. “Remember, young lady,” said she, in dismissing me
-from her presence, “we never overlook a fault, and that my word is law
-here.”
-
-My face flushed with indignation, and tears filled my eyes as I left
-the apartment, fully assured in my own mind that I must soon
-experience a taste of their discipline, nor had I long to wait, for
-two days after, having confidentially expressed my disgust to another
-pupil, with respect to the coarse fare set before us at meals, I soon
-found I had been talking to a tell-tale spy, who carried everything to
-the Superior.
-
-An elderly nun quietly told me she had been sent to conduct me to the
-private room of the Lady Superior. My time was come, and I followed my
-chaperone with trembling anxiety.
-
-Our Superior was a stern looking woman of about forty-five, with dark
-piercing eyes and Roman nose, thin compressed lips considerably adding
-to the severity of her expression.
-
-“Mdlle. Lucille,” said the superior, “I thought the caution I gave you
-on your arrival, would at least have saved you from trouble for some
-time, and spared me the pain of inflicting personal correction on you
-so soon after your entry into our seminary, but I am afraid your papa
-must have had serious cause for wishing me to be severe with you; now
-what have you been saying to your fellow pupil the Mdlle. Olive; did
-you remark, ‘that the food was not fit for a dog, much less
-schoolgirls’?”
-
-I looked down in confusion, “Ah, I see,” she continued, “you cannot
-deny it; well Lucille, I hope soon to convince you that our bill of
-fare is both wholesome and proper for the pupils, I shall give you one
-dozen cuts with the rod, and then let you off if you promise not to
-offend in the same way again.”
-
-The nun who was called Serena, now placed a long stool in the middle
-of the apartment, and made me lie on it full length face downwards,
-then I felt her cold busy hands as they turned up my clothes, and
-opened my drawers behind, till my bottom was left naked to the attack
-of the Lady Superior.
-
-“Do you, Mdlle. Lucille,” she asked sternly, “consider that our fare
-of bread and porridge three times a day, and meat or soup twice a
-week, added for dinner is only fit for a dog? Ah! Ha!” she went on,
-cutting me slowly and severely at every few words, “This will give you
-a better appetite; how do you like birch sauce, Miss Dainty Mouth?”
-
-I screamed with the pain, and plunged about so that Sister Serena had
-to hold me down with all her weight upon my shoulders. “Forgive me,
-oh, forgive me this time, I won’t speak to Olive again!” I gasped out
-as the heavy woman almost stopped my breath, but at last it was over,
-and after kissing the rod and making me look at the blood-stained
-weals on my bottom, they sent me away with a caution how I spoke about
-that or anything else I might see done in the convent.
-
-I longed to have my revenge on the deceitful Olive, but knew not where
-to turn for a confidant, they all perhaps would be equally
-treacherous. I stuck to my lessons and avoided punishment as much as
-possible, being assured that the longer I brooded on my revenge the
-more complete it would be in the end, at the same time I thoroughly
-studied every part of the building to which I was allowed access, in
-the hope I might some day find it very useful if I wanted to effect my
-escape.
-
-The nuns I believe slept in dormitories, where there were a dozen or
-more together, but every pupil had a very small room to herself, mine
-was in a long corridor, and Olive’s three or four doors from mine,
-there were neither locks or bolts to any door, as the Lady Superior
-and elder sisters were supposed to take frequent peeps at us in our
-sleep; I had at last matured my plan, and having everything in
-readiness, one dark night when there was not even a glimpse of
-moonlight, I patiently watched till some of the principals had paid
-the accustomed visit, and heard the cracked voice of an old nun say,
-“fast asleep,” as I feigned to be in a deep slumber.
-
-Soon their footsteps died away in the corridor, and after waiting some
-time, till I felt sure every pupil must be again asleep, if the going
-round should have awakened them, I crept out of bed, and providing
-myself with some pins and a strong piece of cord, was soon at the
-bedside of the treacherous girl I wanted to serve out; my first act
-was to quietly pass my cord around her, outside the small bed, so that
-I could suddenly draw it tight and secure her a helpless victim in my
-power then suddenly stuffing the bedclothes into her mouth before she
-could scream out, ordered her in a rough whisper to keep quiet or I
-would kill her; it was too dark to see her terrified face, but she
-shuddered all over, and seemed as if her very blood was chilled, so
-cold did she seem to my touch.
-
-Taking advantage of her fright, hands and feet were instantly tied so
-that she was spread out in a helpless fashion; I made her own
-handkerchief, which I happened to get hold of, into a gag, and at the
-same time could feel the drops of cold sweat upon her temples. Now I
-turned up the bedclothes or pushed them off, as I was tying the cord,
-till she was quite naked from the bosom downwards.
-
-My hands roved over the soft, firm, naked flesh of her belly, then to
-the mount of love, which I found just beginning to be fledged with
-silky down. My fingers sought the crack below, and I could not help
-amusing myself by frigging her with all my might, the two first
-fingers of my right hand ruthlessly pushing into her cunny, and I knew
-caused her intense pain; from the slight groans which the gag could
-not entirely suppress.
-
-What pleasure it was to me to torture her by my roughness, and outrage
-her every sense of modesty, although I was too ignorant at the time to
-know that my fingers were actually taking the poor girl’s virginity; a
-kind of fury possessed me, and I actually bit the lips of her cunny,
-and munched off as much of the silky down as I could bite away; the
-pain must have been intense, and her writhing, shuddering agony was so
-much bliss to me.
-
-At last to finish her off I got a piece of the cord, and passing it
-right along her crack, tied it round her thighs and waist as tightly
-and painfully as possible, and then for ornament stuck a lot of pins
-in the plumb cheeks of her bottom and left them there.
-
-My revenge was complete, so wiping my fingers on the bedclothes, for
-fear of any blood-stains, &c., I left my victim just as she was, to be
-tormented by her horrible pains and fears till some one might find it
-out, and release her in the morning.
-
-This outrage was never discovered, my victim was found insensible next
-morning, and remained in a delirious state for three or four weeks
-before she recovered consciousness, and then the agony and terror she
-had endured on that awful night had so turned her brain that she
-believed it was the devil who had so grossly ill-used her, but I heard
-that one of the father confessors was strongly suspected of having
-committed the atrocity.
-
-The Superior, with whom Olive had been a favourite, now vented her
-spite in every direction amongst the young lady pupils of the
-seminary, and I for one soon fell under her displeasure, and was
-ordered to be tied up to their whipping post; it was only for slightly
-oversleeping myself, and not dressing quickly when the bell rang for
-us to get up at 6 A.M.
-
-I was suspended by my wrists being tied high up the post as I stood
-upon a small footstool, then it was suddenly kicked away, the jerk of
-the sudden strain on my wrists almost making the straps cut into the
-flesh. My feet were dangling some inches from the ground, “Oh! Oh!
-Ah—r—r—r—re!” I screamed, “How cruel! Oh! Papa! Papa! If you only knew
-how they are treating me in this awful place!”
-
-Lady Superior (who seemed delighted at the sight of my pain),—“Hold
-your foolish noise, Mdlle. Lucille, wait till you have something to
-scream about, girl.” Then the old Serena, who it seemed was always in
-attendance at punishment time, pinned up my skirts and opened my
-drawers behind, and the Superior went on, “This rod shall make all the
-sluggards turn out quicker in the morning; what do you think,
-Mademoiselle, of making us all wait prayers for ten minutes? will you
-wake—wake—wake up sharper in future?”
-
-She gave me three smarting cuts at each word, and my suspended
-position added so much to the intensity of my pain, that I screamed,
-kicked, and plunged about as I swung by my wrists from the post.
-“Sister Serena,” exclaimed the Superior, “keep the girl steady or I
-cannot plant my cuts as effectually as I ought to do upon her naughty
-impudent bottom, she shan’t sleep for a week if I can only make it
-sore enough!” Serena now held me to the post with one hand, to prevent
-my swaying about, whilst the rod rained a succession of withering,
-scorching cuts on my buttocks, and just underneath the parting of the
-cheeks of my bottom. My screams were heartrending, but they only
-seemed to enjoy it more and the Superior never ended her objurgations
-till the rod was worn out.
-
-Things now went on till I was nearly fourteen, we never had a holiday,
-and only short letters came to me from home, in which my father
-constantly expressed his hopes of my improvement, and seemed quite
-oblivious to all I had written from time to time about my severe
-treatment, and begging him to remove me to some other school.
-
-I afterwards found out that my home letters were regularly suppressed,
-and others more suitable were written and sent to papa, in my name;
-what wretch that Superior now appears in my eyes, she not only
-delighted in whipping us nearly to death, but forget letters to our
-parents so as to keep her pupils, and make everything appear _couleur
-de rose_.
-
-Perhaps, dear Rosa, you have heard that I managed to escape from that
-dreadful convent, but previous to that they nearly killed me. I was
-getting quite a big girl, my pussey already sported its silken down on
-the Mons Veneris, which we all consider such an ornament to our secret
-charms.
-
-The Superior had lately taken much notice of me, and introduced me to
-a clique of her favourites, three or four pretty girls about my own
-age, who were often indulged with little treats in her private room;
-there, we girls were encouraged and instructed in all kinds of
-lascivious ideas; we looked at each other’s cunnies, tickled and
-kissed each other in every possible way, the Superior encouraging us,
-and suggesting a variety of attitudes for us to try. She had a huge
-godemiche, about nine inches long, and very thick, which she would fit
-upon one of the girls, and then submit herself to be fucked as hard as
-possible, whilst the other girls had to turn up the girl’s skirts, and
-smack her bottom hard and fast, with the palms of their hands, to make
-the young gentleman (as the Superior called her partner) work fast and
-vigorously.
-
-Then she would have us all strip naked, whilst we had in turn to kiss
-and suck her cunt, when it was all slimy with her spendings.
-
-I did not mind the slapping, or allowing any one to kiss and
-tongue-fuck my cunny, but the Superior’s was so hairy, and had such
-meaty looking lips, and a huge clitoris, (which I now know is induced
-by long-continued self-abuse), and it smelt so fishy, that I
-absolutely declined the honour of gamahuching her, and nothing could
-induce me to do so.
-
-This so enraged her that she flew at me like a tigress. I was knocked
-down, and beaten with a thick stick, till my flesh was bruised all
-over, and then picked up, almost fainting, and hurried off to my own
-little room.
-
-Perhaps nothing further would have happened, but in my innocence, I
-supposed my letters were sent home just as I sealed them up, so I
-wrote to Miss Birch a full account of what I had been seduced into,
-and the dreadful beating I had received, for not liking the cunt of
-the Lady Superior.
-
-The very next day after I thought the letter was gone, the old nun,
-Serena, fetched me into a dull gloomy room, which I had never been in
-before, but at once rightly judged to be a punishment chamber, when I
-saw a high whipping post, made of a square beam, set upright in the
-floor, with two rings near the top on each side, by which to tie up
-the victim; a birch rod was hanging on the wall, and two scourges with
-long things lay upon a seat at one end, but I had no time for further
-observation, as the Superior seemed to follow us into the room almost
-immediately.
-
-“Now, Mdlle. Lucille,” she exclaimed, grinding her teeth in rage, “you
-shall rue the insult you put upon me the other day, before my special
-favourites, of which I had minded to make you one, so that when you
-left the seminary you might look back with pleasure to the loving
-amusements I had first introduced you to; perhaps I should have
-overlooked it all, but see I have your letter. Ha! Ha!! you little
-fool to think that would ever go out of the convent!”
-
-Sister Serena had by this time put me on a stool, and was fastening my
-wrists one on each side of the post, and presently the stool was
-removed, and I found myself just touching the floor with the tips of
-my toes.
-
-“What a beautiful position, how she will twist about and scream when
-she feels the scourge, make haste to bare her bottom, as I am burning
-to pay her out. Ha! Ha!! Mdlle. Lucille, I fancy you wouldn’t mind
-kissing my cunt now if I promised to let you off,” said the Superior
-spitefully.
-
-My courage and natural obstinacy came to my assistance at the moment,
-I was so indignant, and the idea was so repulsive to me that I
-resolved rather to die than do that for her; I was frightened and yet
-flushed with shame and indignation at my treatment, besides something
-seemed to advise me to irritate my tormentor to do her worst, and get
-it over quickly.
-
-“No! No!! No, never!!! you may kill me, and then I should be out of my
-misery!” I exclaimed.
-
-She scowled with ferocity, but said with all the calmness she could
-command, “make haste, Serena, up with her clothes, and open the
-drawers well, and keep her as steady as possible.” Then taking up the
-instrument of punishment I could see it consisted of five or six long
-thongs of whipcord, plaited and knotted at the ends, fixed on a very
-elastic handle.
-
-It was poised in her hand for a moment, and then brought down with
-stinging force on my exposed buttocks, then again, and again, and
-again, in quick succession; each cut seemed to sear the flesh as if
-done by a red hot iron, my piercing screams filled the whole place,
-and the Superior, her eyes sparkling with ferocious joy, jeered me
-about how I liked the scourge. “How lovely you look, Mdlle. Lucille,
-as you plunge and scream, and I know the intense agony of every cut;
-would you rather die now, my little dear? Well, I’ve a good mind to
-kill you, outright, only I want to keep you as long as that _dear,
-kind papa_ of yours is willing to pay! How he must have loved his
-Lucille, to place her with me; I’m so kind, so very kind, you know,
-my dear girl! What do you think of my kindness, you little love?”
-
-Her cuts were awful, and I swayed and plunged so that it was
-impossible for Serena to keep my body steady, so she seized the other
-scourge, and tried her best to second the Superior in her efforts to
-cut me up more and more.
-
-At last they fairly panted for breath, as I was left dangling, sobbing
-and moaning, with my clothes torn, my drawers in shreds, and streaming
-with blood all down my thighs and legs.
-
-Fearing I might faint, they poured a little strong cordial down my
-parched throat, sponged my face with cold water, and put some strong
-snuff up my nose, which almost drove me into convulsions, so very
-violent was the fit of sneezing produced.
-
-They seemed carried away with delight at the sight of my sufferings,
-and sprinkled a quantity of the snuff over the cuts on my bottom,
-just to dry up the blood, as they said with a laugh. Next all my
-clothes were cut or torn off, till I had nothing on but slippers,
-stockings, and the remains of my drawers.
-
-“Now we’ll finish off the obstinate, impudent little beast, I wish I
-dare kill her,” said the Superior, grinding her teeth, “only I should
-lose too much, she is worth more alive than dead.”
-
-A couple of lady’s riding whips were now produced, and the two women
-attacked me afresh; I was cut all over my body, each cut seemed as if
-done with a red hot knife, the blood flowed down my back in streams,
-and yet their rage seemed to increase at the sight of my sufferings.
-My screams were awful, but only so much music to their ears. They
-jeered and derided my cries for “God to have mercy on me, &c.,” said
-“my time was come to die, but they would make me last as long as
-possible, and draw out my agony to the very last gasp.”
-
-This must all have passed in a very short time, but was an age of
-intense suffering to me, and the finale was such a display of ferocity
-that I sank under it, and thus robbed them of the pleasure of
-prolonging my torture. The Superior seized me by the hair, and drawing
-my head back, lashed her whip across my face and bosom, drawing more
-blood at every cut, whilst old Serena, not to be outdone, took my
-right leg under her arm, cut me dreadfully inside my thighs, along the
-crack of my pussey, and made the tip of her whip reach the Mons
-Veneris.
-
-This was the last I could recollect, but when I came to myself I was
-in my own bed, wrapped up in cloths soaked in water. No bones were
-broken, and my health soon recovered sufficiently to enable me to
-effect my escape, and avoid their further malice.

-
-_Lucille’s Marriage and Adventures._
-
-
-It was about 3 A.M. one fine morning when I escaped from the Ursuline
-Convent; and made my way to the Hotel d’Angleterre, the porter in
-answer to my summons was about to refuse to give me refuge, when a
-young Englishman, who was just taking his candle in the hall, said,
-“he’d be damned if I should not be taken care of,” and ordered the
-chambermaid to be called to attend on me, and added that he would be
-responsible for all expenses. “Certainly, my lord,” said the porter of
-the hotel, but he added _sotto voce_, “I think he’s a fool to be so
-easily imposed upon.”
-
-I was too glad to have found a protector, (especially when I found he
-was an aristocrat), so I quietly followed the _femme de chambre_, and
-was content to await awhile for the _denouement_ of my adventure.
-
-Breakfast was brought to me about eleven o’clock, and also a message
-to say that Lord Dunwich, would do himself the pleasure of waiting
-upon me in an hour’s time.
-
-You may be sure I was all impatience to see the kind fellow who had
-stood my friend, and was most agreeably surprised to find his manners
-quite equal to his appearance when I saw him again.
-
-His Lordship was greatly interested by the account of my escape from
-the convent, and said he was a very particular friend of my betrothed
-husband, the Earl of Ellington, and would put me under the protection
-of a lady going to England, who would see me safe home. He was such a
-handsome fellow, and my gratitude was so gushing that at the moment I
-could have refused him no thing, and was delighted by the way he
-lingered over a kiss, he would insist upon as his due, my whole soul
-seemed to leap towards the generous fellow, and tears of
-disappointment stood in my eyes when he was gone.
-
-I never saw him again till my wedding day, two years later, when he
-was best man to my husband, and in my eyes looked a thousand times
-more loveable.
-
-A married couple of sixteen and twenty-eight ought to have been
-blessed with every happiness, but after the first three days of our
-honeymoon the Earl’s temper seemed so overbearing and imperious, that
-I began seriously to regret my fate, and looked forward to a life of
-gilded misery. The Earl was fond of the turf, and often left me alone
-whilst he spent a fortnight at Newmarket or Doncaster and York.
-
-One day I was agreeably surprised by a call from Lord Dunwich, (we
-were living in Grosvenor Square at the time), he looked more handsome
-than ever, and seemed so full of sympathy for me in every respect that
-I could not help falling into tears, and telling him all my fears, and
-how I was neglected for nasty ugly fourlegged brutes of race-horses,
-and that in fact I was sure Lord Ellington loved his Derby favourite
-better than myself, and would rather I broke my neck than his pet
-should fall lame.
-
-“Ah, Lucille” he said, falling on his knees before me, “how your
-distress cuts me to the quick, would to God I could comfort you in any
-way! I have loved you from the first moment we met, although I knew
-you belonged to a bosom friend, and now the wretch slights you; look
-up, dear Lucille, from your tears, smile upon one who is devoted to
-you body and soul!” And then seizing my hand, upon which he imprinted
-a lot of impassioned kisses, “Ah, you will pardon my presumptuous
-love, how can I help it?”
-
-I was piqued by the Earl’s coldness towards me, and something impelled
-me to pity the handsome suitor at my feet, so that although the tears
-were still welling from my eyes, could not help smiling and caressing
-his head as he looked up to my face.
-
-“Darling Lucille, I may call you so now, you respond to my love, my
-happiness is too great,” he exclaimed, drawing my unresisting body
-down, so that our lips quickly met in a rapturous kiss of real love.
-
-I was lost, and he so rapidly took advantage of everything, that
-proceeding from one liberty to another, in less than ten minutes I was
-an adulteress, but what a sweet sin, what transports of love shot
-through our souls as we melted away again and again in the ecstasies
-of mutual enjoyment; how we toyed with each other’s most secret
-charms, and promised to renew our forbidden pleasure at every
-convenient opportunity.
-
-Alas, for our happiness, some spy informed the Earl of my sweet
-_liaison_, he made an excuse to visit Brussels with me and again I
-found myself incarcerated in a hateful convent.
-
-The kindness of my husband on our journey from England (which I
-afterwards found was only a part of his most artful programme), had so
-imposed upon my rather soft-hearted nature, that I really felt sorry
-that I ever been unfaithful to my marriage vows, although no doubt the
-image of my loving paramour was firmly imprinted in my heart.
-
-We went to operas, bal masques, saw all the sights, and enjoyed
-ourselves immensely for a few days and being strict Catholics he one
-day said jestingly, “I suppose, Lucille, we must go to confession, and
-get absolution after having enjoyed ourselves, and confess all the
-delightful sins we have committed; by-the-bye, be sure you do not
-forget to confess having ridden a St. George on your husband, and
-allowed him to spend his seed in your hand, or on your pretty bosom,
-they are most awful sins, and will cost a pretty penny for absolution.
-I should not be surprised if the Rev. Father undertook to inflict
-personal chastisement _à la Girard et Cadière_,” he added, laughing.
-
-“But, seriously,” I answered, “apart from joking, I know we ought to
-do it, and will go to that church in the Rue de la Madeleine this very
-day, I know I am a sinner, but don’t like to make a laugh of such
-serious things.”
-
-Then seating myself on his knee, I drew his face to mine, and kissed
-him lovingly, as I added, “But, dear Francis, you won’t leave your
-little wife so long again, will you, for those horrid horses? You
-can’t imagine how dull and low spirited I get when left all by
-myself.”
-
-“What a pretty pouting little bride you look. Why, Lucille, the way
-you kiss excites me as if we were still on the honeymoon trip; but
-dearest,” he added, “a sporting man must see his horses tried and run,
-then, you, know, I shall make up in the winter what you lose in the
-summer; there’s nothing else to do then but to make love. Ha, you
-sweet little devil, do you want to commit another sin before
-confession?”
-
-My hand had been gently caressing his prick outside his breeches, till
-it was now rampant and impatient of the restraining cloth.
-
-“Well,” he went on, following my example, by passing a hand up my
-clothes, and gently tickling my clitoris with his forefinger, “we’ll
-lump it all together, so there won’t be any more to pay. My Stars,
-Lucille, how excitable you are. You’re spending on my fingers. It’s
-nothing to blush about, little simpleton.”
-
-I got off his lap, and kneeling before him, unbuttoned his flap, and
-the engine of love seemed to leap into my hand, its fiery head, with
-the skin turned back, looked so tempting, that I could not resist the
-temptation to kiss and caress it for a few moments. My tongue played
-lasciviously round the tender and excitable surface, whilst my hands,
-were fondling his finely developed balls.
-
-“Darling! Darling!” he ejaculated. “It’s coming! Oh! I can’t
-stop—kiss—kiss—suck it. Take it in your mouth, Lucille! Oh! Ah! How
-delicious! You darling, to think you would give me so much pleasure!”
-
-I was as excited as himself, and sucked and swallowed his delicious
-spendings to the very last drop, as he pressed my head down with his
-hands, and gasped out his hands, and gasped out his ejaculations of
-ecstasy.
-
-“Now, it’s my turn, Sir. I mean to have a St. George, as you lie on
-the hearthrug. Come, down with you at once, or I will bite it off,”
-making him feel my teeth, as I playfully took it again in my mouth.
-
-We had a delightful bout on the hearthrug, and I rode him till he
-spent into my excited cunt a third time. Keeping his cock stiff, and
-starting him again after each spend by the contractions of the folds
-of my vagina, which he declared gave him the most exquisite and
-voluptuous sensations, and that he had never experienced anything to
-equal it in his life, many women as he had had in his time.
-
-Presently I told him that as soon as I could get dressed I would go to
-confession.
-
-“Do love,” he replied, “and if the Confessor is reasonable with you, I
-will go myself to-morrow, or send for him to wait on me at the hotel.”
-
-I left him smoking a cigar, and about an hour-and-a-half afterwards
-entered the church, where I was immediately accosted by an elderly
-priest. “If the English lady wishes to confess, the Father Francisco
-in yonder box is most suitable for Madame. He knows the English ways
-so well, and was consecrated in England.”
-
-I approached the box, which was in a very secluded corner of the
-sacred building, and kneeling on a hassock, enquired, in a low voice,
-“If the Rev. Father Francisco was ready to hear my confession?”
-
-“Yes, my daughter, and I pray God you may have nothing but venial sins
-to confess,” was the reply of my unseen Confessor.
-
-In my innocence I related every act of our married life; how excited
-we were in our love games, and the various attitudes we used to
-heighten our enjoyment.
-
-“Awfully sensual, my daughter. Your Confessor previous to marriage
-must have admonished you as to the use of these unnatural postures in
-following the dictates of nature in your endeavours to obey the first
-commandment, ‘_to increase and multiply_.’ The holy rites of matrimony
-ought not to be perverted by lascivious ideas and filthy sacrifices to
-lust. It is a most serious thing my daughter, but before I consider
-what penance to exact for such sins, tell me, as you value the
-intercession of our Holy Mother, have you always been faithful to your
-husband? If only by a look or a gesture, it is important to your
-salvation hereafter that you should confess it now.”
-
-I was silent, dumbfoundered for a moment or two. “Ah! my daughter,
-conceal nothing. Alas! it is as I feared—conceal nothing from me, or
-it will be impossible for me to grant you absolution.”
-
-Thus pressed, and feeling but a full confession would avail me with
-the Confessor, I told him everything, and especially how sorry I felt
-at having allowed my pique at the Earl’s neglect to have carried me
-into such a _liaison_, and that the tender regard he had lately
-exhibited towards me smote me to the quick for my unfaithfulness, and
-that that was the reason I had so given way to lasciviousness with
-him, in order to compensate, by the perfect abandon of my love, for
-any suspicions he might entertain.
-
-“My daughter, I must consult our Superior. Yours is such a serious
-case, and I beg that you will go into the vestry, by the door behind
-this box, and wait a few minutes, till I bring you his decision,” said
-Father Francisco.
-
-I was all of a tremble, my face felt hot with blushes of shame and I
-longed to hide from observation for a few minutes, so I readily went
-into the vestry, as he had requested. It was a bare scantily furnished
-room, with a few chairs, a writing table covered with papers, and some
-priests’ frocks and vestments hanging round the walls.
-
-Presently the old priest who had accosted me on my first entering the
-church, came to conduct me to Father Francisco’s room, but instead of
-that, I found myself in the cell of a convent, with the door locked
-behind me.
-
-The worst fears assailed my frightened mind; I sank on my knees,
-calling on God and my husband to release me, crying and stamping in
-impotent rage by turns; this must have lasted an hour or two. Then a
-little wicket was opened in the door, and the same old priest told me
-to calm myself, for Father Francisco and the Superior were praying to
-the Holy Mother to direct them what penance to impose upon such a
-sinner, and that I must remain where I was till next day, when, he
-added, “no doubt you will be restored to your loving husband, as pure
-in mind and spirit as when you first took your marriage vows.”
-
-I was going to implore him to allay the Earl’s anxiety on my behalf,
-but he assured me they had sent to his lordship to say that I was
-doing penance for some hours in their convent, and quickly closed the
-_guichet_, so that I was again left alone.

-Chapter IV.
-
-_The Penance_
-
-
-Two nuns supplied me with refreshment, made me up a bed on the floor,
-and I really had nothing to complain of as to treatment that first
-night, still, something seemed to assure me that I really was a
-prisoner, and should not so easily get out of the convent. My hope
-was, that the Earl would speedily insist upon my speedy release,
-(little dreaming at the moment that he was the instigator of my
-detention, and had actually acted as confessor in the assumed name of
-Father Francisco.)
-
-My anxiety was greatly increased the next day, when hour after hour
-passed, and still no communication from the Confessor or Superior, the
-nuns who brought me in breakfast and dinner were silent to all my
-enquiries or offers of bribes if they would help me get out of the
-place.
-
-My watch had stopped for want of a key, but about seven o’clock in the
-evening, as near as I could guess, the old priest opened the door, and
-beckoned me to follow him. My heart suddenly recovered its courage,
-and I braced up my nerves to bear the severest penance; we passed
-along several passages, and at last opening a door, he motioned me to
-enter. There, sitting before a small table, which had a bible and
-crucifix upon it, sat a rather young priest, about the same age as my
-husband, but with a close shaven face and crown (the Earl had heavy
-whiskers and moustache, I had never seen him otherwise), and he
-struck me as being very like Francis about the nose and eyes, still,
-no suspicion that it could really be him came into my mind.
-
-“Daughter Lucille, Lady Ellington,” said the seated Confessor, as the
-other locked the door behind me, “In answer to prayer, the Holy Mother
-has inspired us to grant you absolution, only after the most severe
-personal chastisement and humiliations we can possibly inflict upon
-you. Then, you will return to your confiding loving husband, purified
-of your adulterous sins, but for all that, he will still, and for the
-rest of his life, wear the horns of a cuckolded husband, which is his
-punishment for teaching you such lascivious ideas; it is an awful sin
-to so abandon yourselves to lust, and your unfaithfulness is the
-providential punishment he so well deserves.”
-
-My face and neck were suffused with the blushes of burning shame, as
-my eyes fell beneath his ardent gaze, besides something instinctively
-told me that both Father Francisco and his coadjutor were enjoying the
-sight of my confusion.
-
-“Now please divest yourself of everything you have on, except corset,
-chemise and drawers, whilst I prepare this scourger for the
-chastisement of your wicked sensual flesh, and my brother here will
-get that rope in order, ready to tie up your hands above your head.”
-
-I scarcely knew how I got my dress and skirts off, as my hands
-trembled so, and the idea of stripping before two men, even if they
-were priests, was so distressing to my sense of modesty, but, somehow
-or other, I was soon standing up, with my skirts on the floor, about
-my heels, and my last under petticoat tucked up under my corset.
-
-Father Francisco confronted me, scourge in hand, and pointing with his
-finger to my drawers in front, roughly ordered me to open them, and
-show where I had admitted my lover, when in the act of committing
-adultery.
-
-“Open it, you wicked woman. I must see the seat of lust itself!”
-
-He flourished his scourge so, and gave me two such terrible cuts round
-my buttocks, that I was compelled to obey his immodest and shameful
-order, and the moment I had done so, he produced a pair of scissors
-and denuded me of nearly all the dark, silky chevelure I took such
-delight in viewing in the glass, when ever I dressed myself, or just
-got out of my morning bath.
-
-“I suppose you were so excited and wanton, when Lord Dunwich embraced
-you, that you shewed him everything, even your nakedness, as the Bible
-calls it; did you blush then, as you pretend to do now, Lucille?” he
-asked.
-
-My surprise and indignation almost choked me, so that I was unable to
-speak, and he gave me a heavy slap with his hand on my bottom, saying,
-“So you will not answer, and think I am behaving shamefully, do you?
-It’s nothing to what you will have to submit to presently, Lady
-Ellington; turn round and open your legs, and stoop forward this
-instant, or I will flog the very life out of you!”
-
-His rude hand was passed under my bottom, between my legs, and as I
-covered my face with my hands, I could feel his fingers invade every
-secret spot in turn, even to forcing a digit up the fundamental
-orifice, which is always so tight and difficult of entrance, saying,
-as he did so: “Did you let him go there, or has your husband ever
-sodomised your bum-hole? Ha! Ha! How modest we are now. Speak; say if
-you ever allowed any one to put his prick in your arse?”
-
-I cannot recollect all he said or questioned me about, but his words
-and actions were every moment more and more coarse and obscene, on
-purpose to add to my humiliation.
-
-“Here, Father Anthony,” he continued, addressing the old priest,
-“where is your godemiche? That’s the thing to draw all the wantonness
-out of her lustful body. It is well furnished with good stiff
-bristles?”
-
-Father Anthony.—“It’s a new one, same as we always keep in stock to
-subdue the fleshly lusts of these lascivious female sinners, and never
-used before, but I must tie her up.”
-
-The rope, which hung from a pulley in the ceiling, was tied tightly
-round my wrists, bringing both hands together; then he pulled it as
-hard as possible till I could barely touch the floor with my feet, and
-all my weight was upon my arms and the muscles of my back.
-
-“That’s it, exactly,” chuckled Francisco. “Now, my dear Lucille, Lady
-Ellington I ought to say, you will really enjoy the insertion of this
-jolly dildoe up your cunt, and it is full of a delightful injection,
-with which it will spend in response to your emission of pleasure.”
-
-“Ah! No! No! Oh pray don’t treat me with such brutality,” I screamed,
-in horror, when I saw the huge red-headed thing, with its shaft
-springing from a bed of bristles, fixed round the balls so as to prick
-the cunt at every insertion, besides its length and thickness seemed
-quite terrible to contemplate. “I am quite content to submit to your
-penance of scourging and whipping, but oh, oh, have mercy, and put
-that thing out of my sight.”
-
-Father Francisco.—“Look, you need not be so frightened. I shall
-lubricate it well with perfumed oil to make it enter you easily,
-besides I will put some on your cunt and bottom.” Suiting his actions
-to his word, and oiling my privates profusely, especially my
-bottom-hole, which he lubricated till he could easily work two fingers
-in at once.
-
-It was dreadfully disgusting, but still his frigging my bottom was
-rather exciting, and he could tell or guess my feelings, as he went on
-to say, “I see you like it, but the dildoe will make you plunge and
-spend with delight.”
-
-He then took up my legs; one under each arm, and stood between them,
-so they were wide apart, and Father Anthony, his face plainly showing
-how he delighted in the task, proceed to force his godemiche into me,
-opening the lips of my cunt with his fingers till the head was fairly
-in, then ruthlessly shove, shove, shove, till, “Ah! Ah! Oh!
-Ah—r—r—r—re!” I screamed in dreadful pain, as the sharp bristles ran
-into the tender surroundings of my pussey. “Ah! Ah! Oh, my God!” I
-screamed plunging and writhing in my agony, his eyes glared into mine
-with a fiendish delight, only equalled by the look of his companion,
-who held my legs like a vice, and encouraged him to fuck the wanton
-woman till she had had enough to keep her out of adultery for a long
-time to come.
-
-Presently Father Francisco, digging his nails into the flesh of my
-legs, said excitedly, “See, see, she’s coming. The gluey spend is
-glistening on your dildoe. Now, now, shoot it into her; let her enjoy
-it!”
-
-In a moment I felt the hot gush of the contents of the godemiche. It
-rather relieved me for a moment or two, but oh, oh, my dear, even
-after this long lapse of time, I can never forget the agony of that
-moment. The whole of my body seemed filled with liquid fire, for they
-had filled the dildoe with some infernal decoction on purpose to ruin
-my health, and destroy all chance of my ever enjoying the sweets of
-love again. Such I know was their intent, for they taunted me with it
-at the time; but although I never quite recovered from the shock to my
-system, and feel even now that it was the original cause of my
-premature decay, they did not succeed in depriving me of all sensual
-desire or feelings for the future.
-
-I fainted, but they never let me down, and when at last I began to
-recover consciousness Father Francisco was using his scourge most
-unmercifully on my buttocks, the drawers being open, and the naked
-flesh exposed to every cut.
-
-“I thought this would bring her round”, exclaimed he. “See, Father
-Anthony, her eyes are opening, it will soon make her forget the
-dildoe fucking, she did enjoy that, did she not, Anthony? But she’ll
-be a long time before she has such pleasure again. Ha! Ha! Ha!!! how
-lovely she is getting, see her wriggle from the pain of every cut. Ah,
-Lucille, dear Lady Ellington, what intense delight the sight of your
-agony is to us.”
-
-By this time either he was tired, or he thought a little respite would
-enable me to bear more presently, so dropping the scourge on the floor
-he left me still suspended, whilst himself and assistant sat down and
-gloated over the sight of my suspended figure and blood-stained
-bottom, with their hands under their frocks, and I verily believe now
-they were frigging themselves.
-
-After about ten minutes Father Francisco again approached, scourge in
-hand, whilst the elder priest gave me a few drops of cordial, and held
-some pungent salts under my nose to refresh me a little. “That will
-do,” said the former, “stand back, Father Anthony. Now, now, you
-wicked, wanton, lustful young woman, did you wish your husband dead
-when having connexion with Lord Dunwich? Why don’t you answer? Were
-his parts more pleasing to your sensuality? Is he better furnished
-than your husband? Speak up; confess all your wickedness! Did no sense
-of shame shock you in the midst of your enjoyment with that fellow,
-eh?”
-
-Every question brought a scathing cut with it, breaking the weals and
-drawing fresh blood at every stroke, but I really was so ashamed I
-knew not how to answer, and my tongue was useless except for moans or
-cries of pain, and notwithstanding all their degrading and cruel
-treatment I felt it was fully deserved by me.
-
-“Won’t you speak? won’t you confess your sorrow for your sin?” he
-continued. “Are you really so lost to all sense of shame as to be
-hardened against repentance? This must be whipped, yes, whipped out of
-you, even if it nearly costs your life!”
-
-Just then Father Anthony loosed the rope a little, so that I could
-shrink further from the blows of the scourge, till I was driven up to
-the wall, where I stood on tiptoe with my hands drawn up over my head,
-and my back bending as much as possible to avoid the terrible shower
-of blows with which he was cutting up my buttocks still more and more.
-
-Crimson with shame, tears flowing in torrents from my starting eyes, I
-moaned, cried and implored for mercy, protesting in a broken voice,
-“That ever since my husband had renewed his kindness to me I had been
-very, very sad and ashamed of myself for what I had done, and only his
-former neglect had caused me to throw myself into the arms of a
-handsome man to whom I was under great obligations for protecting me
-when I escaped from the Ursuline Convent.”
-
-“Ha, then, you are that Lucille who insulted Lady Superior, I heard
-all about it at the time!” he went on furiously. “Now you shall be
-punished for that too,” seizing my left leg and lifting it up, so
-that he could cut freely under my thighs, on my sore cunny, and every
-tenderest spot he could think of, whilst old Father Anthony was
-rubbing his hands in delight at the sight.
-
-My agony was so intense that I could only gasp and sigh, strength I
-had none, he seemed beside himself with rage, but at last dropped his
-scourge, and throwing open his frock in front I could feel his rampant
-pego thrusting towards my mount, and am sure he spent on my drawers
-outside before he could get into me; this he soon effected, and taking
-my buttocks up in his strong embrace, he fucked furiously, swaying me
-about with my arms still tied up by the rope; but I forgot all that,
-his motions within me took away all feeling of pain, and I believe
-much as I loathed him and felt humiliated by all his dreadful
-treatment that I actually spent copiously when I felt his hot sperm
-shooting into and soothing my overheated cunt.
-
-He was so overcome that Father Anthony seeing he was about to fall,
-released me, or loosened the rope so that we sank down together on the
-floor, and laid almost motionless for a few minutes, till the old
-priest, taking up a scourge, began to whip us both unmercifully, and
-made Francisco get up. This was the end for that time, but I was
-ordered to prepare for a final penance in a day or two’s time.

-Chapter V.
-
-_The Last Scène and Denouement._
-
-
-They kept me in the same chamber, where I had been so outraged, the
-two nuns nursing,—bathing my bruises, and using soothing injections to
-allay the inflammations of my privates, till, on the third day, they
-said I was so far recovered that my Confessors might finish the
-prescribed penance, adding, with a malicious smile, “we saw everything
-last time, and so we shall now, through our peepholes; how delicious
-the sight was last time, and we had such frigging and dildoe fucks
-after it was all over.”
-
-Having said this, they speedily disappeared and I was left to await my
-fate in trembling anxiety; I was hot and cold by turns, as the
-recollection of all the humiliating and painful incidents of the other
-day came back so vividly to my mind, and in imagination I seemed to
-suffer all my tortures over again.
-
-This did not last long, although you may be sure it seemed long enough
-to me in my state of apprehension. A key was turned in the lock, and
-the door creaked on its hinges; my persecuting confessors again stood
-before me in reality, with quite a sardonic expression of anticipated
-pleasure on their faces; no trace of pity could I find on either
-visage, nothing but gloating sensuality seemed to animate the ardent
-looks with which they regarded me for some moments.
-
-The hateful Francisco was the first to address me, a smile of terrible
-meaning playing round his mouth, showing his pearly white teeth to
-such perfection that I was again strongly reminded of my husband.
-
-“Lady Ellington, I hope, has had good time for reflection upon the
-heinousness of her sins, particularly those in contravention of her
-marriage vows; wantonness is as nothing compared to that. What has the
-penitent Lucille to say? Has her chastisement made her feel the pangs
-of real remorse?” he said, whisking a scourge before my face.
-
-I was too frightened to speak; face, neck and bosom, I could feel,
-were in a burning heat, whilst my eyes could not meet his, for
-something more than shame instinctively told me what I might have to
-suffer at his hands.
-
-“No sign of repentance here, Father Anthony; she must be stripped
-naked at once. Do you hear, Lucille? Strip—strip—strip at once, or it
-will be much the worse for you!” he said with rough ferocity.
-
-Both priests helped me to undress, and in their impetuous haste almost
-tore the clothes off my back, at the same time taking all sorts of
-disgusting liberties, and keeping me in a continued state of
-confusion, at last when nothing was left but my chemise to remove,
-they suddenly tied the rope round my left ancle, and in an instant I
-found myself suspended head downwards, with the right leg kicking in
-the air, and screaming piteously for mercy.
-
-“Secure her wrists to the rings in the floor,” said Francisco, “and
-then help me to whip the seat of lust till she is a little more
-repentant.”
-
-The elder priest speedily effected this, and then both of them with
-scourges commenced to whip me most mercilessly, aiming their
-relentless cuts between my legs so as to cut the lips of my cunt and
-round my bottom-hole at every blow; now and then the cruel thongs
-would wind round the upper part of my thighs, or on to my mount; my
-cries were heartrending, as each blow seemed to re-open all my old
-cuts and bruises. “Ah! Ah—r—r—re! Oh! Oh!! will you never have pity,
-and believe me sorry for my faults?” I screamed or moaned, and gasped
-out the words in intense agony.
-
-“So you begin to repent a little under the lash, do you, Lucille, are
-you really sorry for having wronged Lord Ellington, is it your mind or
-your cunt that is most filled with remorse? How you seem to writhe,
-and how prettily we are making it look for you, the trickling blood is
-delightful to see as it flows in drops and rills over your back and
-belly!” His questions were spoken slowly as he seemed to enjoy the
-pleasure of my intense suffering, and two or three of his cuts were
-over the tender surface of my belly or right across the navel.
-
-“Scream away, you sensual woman, why don’t you implore the Holy Virgin
-to have pity and forgive you, we are only carrying out her commands,
-are we not Father Francisco?” hissed out old Anthony, as he continued
-to scourge my back and sides, and every now and then aimed a fearful
-blow right down my lacerated cunny. Again they would stop for a
-little, and ask me jeeringly, “about my feeling of remorse, would I
-indulge in such obscenity with my husband again, or keep from adultery
-in future?”
-
-I was almost too far gone to do more than moan, and Father Anthony
-suggested that I ought to be well lashed over my neck, shoulders, and
-bosom, to make me speak out, but the other seeing how exhausted I
-really was, restrained his mad fury, and then after waiting a little
-one of them would give me a terrible cut, and ask the other to see the
-beautiful effects of it as I swayed about in agony; this was done
-again and again, till after a time the scourges were thrown aside, and
-the rope being lowered I was allowed to lay on the floor for a little
-while, and some cordial was again administered to refresh me, my
-tormentors sitting down and frigging themselves openly before my face,
-till in the act of spending they would stand over me so that I might
-be thoroughly humiliated by having all their spendings drop on my
-face, neck, or head, as I was still secured to the floor by my wrists.
-
-Presently, at a sign from Francisco, his companion hoisted me up by
-the ancle again, and did it so tightly that I was frightfully
-stretched by my arms and leg; which were drawn as painfully tight as
-he could make it, the fastenings cutting into the flesh so that I bear
-the marks to this very day, I could see that Francisco was again
-preparing his godemiche with oil, but he did not put any upon my
-person.
-
-Horrified at the sight, I begged and implored them in the most piteous
-manner not to degrade me again with that disgusting instrument,
-promising to pay the Church any amount for absolution rather than
-endure it again.
-
-“Too late, too late, your repentance is not sincere, besides, the
-other day we saw with our eyes how your lascivious nature responded to
-the thrusts of this thing in your cunt, now I am going to degrade
-your bottom-hole by inserting it there, however painful the operation
-may prove,” saying which he seized, and held my left leg under his
-arm, and standing close to my body at once proceeded to carry out his
-infernal idea of ravishing my anus. Lacerated, bleeding, and sore as
-my bottom was at the least touch, and regardless of my piercing
-shrieks, he forced the oily head of the india rubber thing quite into
-my tightly contracted bum-hole, the pain was intense, as it seemed to
-rend the lining tissue of the anal canal in its passage, and the
-bristles round its root added, if possible, still more to the
-intensity of my suffering.
-
-I believe, that giving one long shriek of agony, I lost consciousness
-for a time, but only to awake and find them laughing and jeering at my
-sufferings, as the one worked his dildoe in my bottom, whilst the
-other had thrust two or three fingers up my blood-stained and wounded
-cunt. It is quite indescribable what I felt at this outrage, the
-accumulation of shame, agony and horror so overpowered my exhausted
-nature, that I went off again into such a death-like swoon, that they
-really feared I was dead, and made haste to let me down as well as
-apply strong restoratives.
-
-My hands were still retained in the rings on the floor, and the
-godemiche was left sticking in my bottom, the spasmodic contractions
-of the sphincter muscle holding it as in a vice, whilst the pulsations
-of the violated passage behind were still awfully painful. All this
-was apparent to me as I slowly came to myself once more, and could see
-the excited looks of my cruel Confessors, who proceeded to sprinkle me
-with cold water, and use a large sponge for the purpose of both
-refreshing me and allowing them to gloat over the extent of my hurts.
-
-This lasted a little while, then I was made to get up on my hands and
-knees, facing Francisco, who then opened his frock, so as to show me
-the excited state of his prick, at the same time, with a malicious
-look of fiendish joy, he asked me, “If I should not like to suck such
-a delightful sweetmeat?” Then seeing my look of intense disgust, he
-burst into a rage, saying, “Oh! So you mean to insult me as you did
-the Lady Superior of the Ursulines, do you, Lucille? You may think I
-am disgusting and nasty, or I smell strong as she did, and I may tell
-you, to make you relish it still more, that scarcely an hour ago it
-was up the strong smelling cunt of that very same lady, and I was
-careful not to wash, so that you might have the full benefit of the
-delicious aroma of her spendings.”
-
-Speechless with disgust, and helpless in every way, it was useless for
-me to appeal for mercy or consideration from two such heartless
-beings; the only thing I could do was to close my eyes to the awful
-sight.
-
-But only for a moment, a tremendous whack from Father Anthony, who had
-taken up the scourge, made me shriek out again, “Ah! Ah! Oh! Will you
-never finish me off, and kill me in mercy?” The only answer I had was
-a quick repetition of the blow, whilst the repulsive Francisco’s
-right hand, clutching my hair, pulled my head up, and drew it back so
-painfully, that I gasped for breath. This was exactly what he wanted,
-and, in a moment, his prick was forced into my mouth. The sensation
-was so repulsive, horrible, and choking all at once, that I had not
-the presence of mind to bite, or he would have repented the act ever
-after. Old Anthony was cutting my back, bottom, thighs, and loins,
-even the calves of my legs not escaping his frenzied scourging. Blood
-was streaming over my flesh, and dripping to the floor in little
-pools, and I felt I was really dying at last. Just then the excited
-Francisco shot a deluge of hot sperm into my mouth and throat; I was
-choked, and remember no more, except, that on recovering
-consciousness, the supposed Confessor, Francisco, was dressed as a
-gentleman, and I immediately recognised him as my husband, as, at the
-same instant, he exclaimed, “Woman, my revenge is complete. You won’t
-deceive me again. How I have revelled in degrading, humiliating, and
-torturing my adulterous wife. You’ll never see me more. This has been
-my way of divorcing myself from a faithless bitch.”
-
-He was gone before I could find words to reply, but my sense of pain
-was instantly drowned in a deep desire for vengeance for this outrage,
-and its impulse so strengthened me, that I was soon well enough to
-travel.
-
-My lover, Lord Dunwich, received me with open arms, and declared he
-would shoot or be shot by the Earl ere forty-eight hours had elapsed;
-at once despatching a friend with his cartel to arrange a meeting for
-the next morning in Hyde Park at the dawn of day.
-
-We spent the night together at his hotel, although scarcely fourteen
-days since I was so fearfully outraged, how we fucked all night, and
-swam in sensual pleasures for hours, I would deny him nothing, was he
-not my champion, who was going to risk his life in the morning to
-avenge my fearful wrongs, and to make him still more earnest in his
-desire for vengeance, I stripped naked, let him examine every part,
-where the marks of the bruises and lacerations were still visible; my
-cunt he sucked, kissed and fucked till I was beside myself with
-excitement, and he was also ready for anything, then my poor bum-hole
-attracted his attention, he kissed and put his tongue into it, till I
-was eager to have him there, and begged he would put his prick in
-gently at first for fear of hurting me too much; this was a heavenly
-finish to our night of love; we swam in delight, never before or since
-have I tasted voluptuous joy to equal that _enculade_.
-
-Next morning dressed as a young gentleman with a false moustache, I
-went as one of his seconds to the fatal place of meeting, and had the
-satisfaction of seeing my wrongs avenged by a ball through the heart
-of my hated husband. We then went abroad for a while, but my dear
-lover lost his life by drowning in the Rhine, since which I have
-consoled myself as you know by all sorts of erotic fancies,
-especially flagellation, and now dear Rosa at the early age of
-twenty-five I find myself fast fading away.

-
-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
-liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
-fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
-LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
-PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
-TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
-LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR

-DAMAGE.
-
-1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
-defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
-receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
-written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
-the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
-without further opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
-in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO
-OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
-LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
-
-1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
-warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
-damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
-violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the

-limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
-unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
-remaining provisions.
-

-trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
-providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
-accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the

-electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
-including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
-the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
-or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
-additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-should be made to desist from crying and to
-“fear the rod” at the mature age of twelve

-education in 1812, tells a story of a lady who

-corporal chastisement. If she had committed
-faults, ‘the punishment was due;’ if
-she had not, she probably would in the week

-the memory of this person, who
-bore a public character of piety and virtue,
-was spoken of, and justly, with aversion by
-the person she had thus treated.” Thus

-
-<p class="letter-indent">Since writing you my confessions,
-in that series of letters which you flattered
-me by calling “most interesting facts, and
-deliciously voluptuous reading for lovers of
-the rod,” the following curious narrative has
-been entrusted to my confidential keeping by
-a young Countess of my acquaintance; but
-as there are no secrets between us, and I
-think it may afford some little pleasure in
-the perusal, I hasten to copy it out for you,

- </span></span></a>from notes which I made day by day at<!-- TN: original reads "hat" --> the
-bedside of the dear young creature, as she
-told the particulars to me, at my visits during
-her long and painful illness, now, I am afraid,
-close upon a fatal termination; and you may
-guess how grieved I am to think that, although
-I now reserve her name as<!-- TN: original reads "has" --> a secret,
-too<!-- TN: original reads "to" --> solemn to be entrusted, even to
-you, the stillness of the grave will soon do
-away with all necessity for such reticence.
-Should my confessions ever be printed
-after our time, this tale certainly ought to
-bear them company, either as prefix or
-addenda.</p>

-<p>Since, dear Rosie, you are so interested to
-hear my birching and whipping experiences,
-I will try to recollect them as well as possible,
-but hope you will consider my weak
-state of health, and not press me to tell you
-too much at once.</p>

- /></span></span></a>Perhaps you do not know that almost from
-my infancy it was arranged that I should
-marry the Earl of Ellington, who was about
-twelve years my senior, being a family compact
-of a purely mercenary character, designed
-to consolidate some very doubtful title
-deeds, which now that our union has proved
-unfruitful, are likely to entail great expense
-and annoyance to our heirs-at-law.</p>
-
-<p>My father, you know, was the Honourable
-Mr. Warton, and my mother died in giving
-birth to myself, so that I was brought up
-under a nurse, and afterwards, when about
-seven years old, a young lady was engaged
-as governess to instil my juvenile mind with
-the rudiments of learning, preparatory to
-being sent to a finishing school.</p>
-
-<p>This lady’s name was Miss Birch, and
-although my papa had known her father, Dr. Birch, for some years, I now believe that the
-fascination of her name had great influence
-with him in making a selection from the
-numerous, and in many instances more
-<a name="png.009" id="png.009" href="#png.009"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>9<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>eligible ladies, who applied for the situation.</p>
-
-<p>Miss Birch was a dark lady about thirty
-years of age when she entered our family,
-very good-looking, rather large pouting
-mouth, set off with lovely rows of most pearly
-white teeth, which<!-- TN: original reads "wich" -->, when she<!-- TN: comma removed --> smiled or said
-much showed to beautiful effect in contrast
-to her rather swarthy complexion, dark
-brown eyes, and thick bushy black<!-- TN: original reads "blach" --> arching
-eyebrows, her figure was well moulded and
-plump, and being about five feet six, she had
-quite a commanding presence.</p>
-
-<p>I was nearly eight years old before I began
-to notice the significant looks which occasionally
-passed between papa and governess,
-but hints were so often thrown out about the
-necessity of procuring a good birch rod for
-the naughty bottom of Lucille, that I was
-gradually awakened to the discovery of some
-most mysterious kind of understanding which
-must subsist between them. My infant
-brain was much puzzled and alarmed, as I
-<a name="png.010" id="png.010" href="#png.010"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>10<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>already felt in imagination the tingling smart
-of the green twigs I so much dreaded.</p>
-
-<p>Miss Birch seemed more exacting and severe
-over my lessons, especially when papa
-happened to be in the schoolroom, and now
-I will tell you my first experience of the
-rod.</p>
-
-<p>One day after failing both in spelling and
-arithmetic she rang the bell, and ordered the
-servant to request Mr. Warton’s presence in
-the schoolroom for a few minutes. Papa
-entered with a very serious look, requesting
-Miss Birch to inform him of the cause of sending
-for him.</p>
-
-<p>“Mr. Warton,” said my governess, “you
-know we have had many serious conversations<!-- TN: original reads "conversatious" -->
-about the necessity for proper correction
-in case Miss Lucille should continue so
-inattentive to her studies, to-day she has
-failed in everything, and I am certain that
-unless her energies are sharpened up by the
-stinging smart of the rod she will go from
-bad to worse; I am so averse to wield the
-<a name="png.011" id="png.011" href="#png.011"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>11<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>birch myself, and would much prefer that
-her papa should take in hand the serious
-whipping she ought to have.”</p>
-
-<p><span class="smc">Papa.</span>—“Lucille, you hear what Miss
-Birch says, (I noticed him cast most excited
-and amorous<!-- TN: original reads "amourous" --> looks towards the governess
-as he spoke), she has been most forbearing
-with you, and interceded with me many
-times to save your bottom, and even
-now cannot bring herself to lift her own
-hand to make you smart a little; it must
-indeed be a serious fault to induce her to
-ask me to use the rod, but, ‘Spare the
-rod and spoil the child,’ has always been
-a maxim with me; lay her across your<!-- TN: original reads "you" --> lap,
-Miss Birch, and pull up her clothes, whilst
-I get the rod out of the table drawer.”</p>
-
-<p><span class="smc">Miss Birch</span>, with heaving bosom, and
-quite a deep blush upon her face.—“I feel
-as ashamed at baring her naughty posteriors
-as if I was going to suffer the degradation
-and humiliation myself, but come,
-Lucille dear, you must bear it, and I hope
-<a name="png.012" id="png.012" href="#png.012"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>12<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>you will be a better and more diligent
-girl in future.” Then catching me by the
-wrist, as I stood by her side covered with
-confusion, she tried to lay me across her
-knees, but I struggled and screamed,
-“No! No!! No!!! I won’t be whipped!
-Oh! Oh!! dear papa, do forgive me
-this time!” my face quite crimson and
-streaming with tears.</p>
-
-<p><span class="smc">Papa</span>, having got out the rod, a fine
-switch of long thin birch twigs, tied up
-with velvet and silk ribbons at the handle,—“Come!
-Come!! Lucille, this resistance
-will only make it worse for you.”
-As he seized and threw me on the governess’s
-lap, Miss Birch securing my head
-well under her left arm, speedily pulled
-up dress and skirts, till my fat little bottom
-was exposed in a tight fitting pair
-of drawers, my legs being left to kick
-about, although I was quite firmly secured,
-and to all intents quite helpless, and
-my toes could scarcely touch the ground.</p>
-
-<p><a name="png.013" id="png.013" href="#png.013"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>13<span class="ns">]<br
- /></span></span></a>
-I could hear papa whisking the birch
-about, and then he said, “That will do famously,
-Miss Birch, keep her head and
-shoulders well down as you hold up her
-skirts; much as I pity my darling little
-Lucille, I must do my duty and make her
-smart for her idleness in school.”</p>
-
-<p>My face was burning hot with the deep
-blushes of shame, and I struggled desperately
-to free my head from the vice-like pressure
-of Miss Birch’s arm, as I begged with
-piteous sobs to be let off for this once.
-“Oh! dear papa! Oh! pray don’t beat me!”</p>
-
-<p><span class="smc">Papa.</span>—“Indeed, I must, though every
-blow will send a pang to my own heart,
-you naughty, bad, inattentive girl, all this
-has come by your great idleness, and trusting
-too much to the kind heart of your governess.”
-As he said this, three sharp
-stinging cuts whacked on my tight-fitting
-drawers in quick succession.</p>
-
-<p>The pain was intense, I kicked, writhed
-and screamed for “Mercy! Mercy! Oh!
-<a name="png.014" id="png.014" href="#png.014"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>14<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>Oh!! I will be good! Oh! Papa! Oh,
-Miss Birch, do let me go!”</p>
-
-<p><span class="smc">Papa</span>, in quite an excited tone, (for I
-could see nothing), “So you mean to be
-good in future! Do you feel the birch is
-doing you good already? Ha! ha!! my
-little Lucille, you must have a little more yet
-to make a perfect cure of your<!-- TN: original reads "you" --> idleness.”
-Whack—whack—whack—whack—four more
-cuts, each one more agonizing than the last,
-in spite of my sobbing and screaming.
-“Now, Miss Birch,” he continued, “let
-her feel it on the bare flesh, open her drawers
-so we can see the effects of the cuts.”</p>
-
-<p>This was at once done, as I cried, “Ah!
-Ah!! No! No!! Oh, Papa! How cruel!”</p>
-
-<p><span class="smc">Papa.</span>—“<!-- TN: punctuation invisible -->What a sight. The rod has
-made her bottom blush finely. It’s best to
-make her feel sore a few days, or she will
-soon forget it, and relapse into her old
-ways.”</p>
-
-<p>The drawers were unbuttoned, and I could
-feel they were quite pulled down my thighs,
-<a name="png.015" id="png.015" href="#png.015"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>15<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>exposing the entire surface of my smarting
-rump, but I had only a few moments for
-reflection before the blows fell again in rapid
-succession, cutting, tearing, and scratching
-the skin, whilst the boiling blood in my veins
-seemed to throb as if it must spurt through
-the pores at every burning touch of the rod.</p>
-
-<p>My head was pressed against the tumultuously
-heaving bosom of my governess, and
-notwithstanding the intensity of my suffering,
-I could plainly hear the beating of her
-heart, and knew that her thighs were tightly
-compressed together, whilst a strange tremor
-pervaded her entire frame.</p>
-
-<p>“There, there, that will do,” said Papa,
-in a very excited tone. “I’ve drawn the blood
-for her. Now, Miss Dunce, kneel and kiss
-the rod, and ask your kind governess to forgive
-you.”</p>
-
-<p>I slipped down on my knees, and hiding
-my face in my hands in her lap, promised
-Miss Birch “if she would forgive me now, to
-be a better girl in future.”</p>
-
-<p><a name="png.016" id="png.016" href="#png.016"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>16<span class="ns">]<br
- /></span></span></a>
-“That<!-- TN: original reads "thad" --> will do. I don’t want to be too
-hard upon Lucille this time. We will leave
-her to think over her disgrace and shame,
-and let her beware of the birch again,”
-said Papa, taking Miss Birch’s hand, to
-lead her from the room. “This has been a
-most agitating scene for your governess,
-who must repose in her private room for a
-while to recover herself.”</p>
-
-<p>The schoolroom door, which opened directly
-into her private room, was closed upon
-me, and the key turned in the lock, but<!-- TN: original reads "butt" --> all
-my hurts and bruises were insufficient to
-distract my attention from the peculiarly
-warm and excited glances which passed from
-papa towards my governess, whose face was
-suffused with blushes, and her eyes turned
-down, as if afraid to meet his ardent looks
-as they<!-- TN: original reads "the" --> passed from the room.</p>
-
-<p>My curiosity was excited so much, that I
-listened at the keyhole. Papa was evidently
-remaining in the governess’s room. I
-could hear a rustling of her dress, as if some
-<a name="png.017" id="png.017" href="#png.017"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>17<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>little struggle was taking place; a sound of
-smothered kisses, and soft expostulatory
-ejaculations, such as, “I dare not! Oh!
-No! No!! Not now! Pray leave me! Oh!
-Oh!!” Then an almost perfect quiet, except
-for a slight rustling sound, and, now
-and then, broken sighs with heavy breathing.</p>
-
-<p>At last all was quiet, and having now been
-left more than half-an-hour to myself in the
-schoolroom, I ventured to tap at the door
-and beg Miss Birch to let me into her room,
-as I would never, never, offend again.</p>
-
-<p>After a very slight delay, the door was
-unlocked, and my governess received me
-with expressions of great tenderness, kissed
-her poor Lucille, and hoped my poor bottom
-was not too sore. Her eyes were melting
-with what I should now call a soft voluptuous
-languor, and scintillated with extraordinary
-brilliancy, all of which set my young
-ideas in a flutter of wonderment, as to the
-extraordinary cause of her prolonged emotion.</p>
-
-<p><a name="png.018" id="png.018" href="#png.018"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>18<span class="ns">]</span></span></a>
-Things went on pretty smoothly for some
-time, but I found it quite impossible to avoid
-coming under the rod every now and then,
-the chastisement getting more severe on
-every fresh occasion.</p>
-
-<p>Papa always had to handle the twigs, and
-when I began to get older, Miss Birch would
-tie me up and leave the room, as she pretended
-to be quite unable to bear the scene.
-Still papa would always go into her sanctum
-at the conclusion of my whipping, to talk
-the matter over with my governess.</p>
-
-<p>I will tell you of a fearful birching, the
-last I had before being sent to the Convent
-School; it does not matter what the fault
-was, but it must have been something very
-serious. Papa and Miss Birch both helped
-to tie me up on a four poster bed in my own
-room. I was stripped of every thing but
-my skirts and drawers, which were all secured
-and arranged so as to expose my back
-parts in the best possible manner for whipping.
-My hands were tied to the bed post
-<a name="png.019" id="png.019" href="#png.019"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>19<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>high above my head, and making me kneel
-on the bed, one leg was secured at the knee
-to the same post, my other leg being left
-free to kick about.</p>
-
-<p>Miss Birch vanished, and papa arming
-himself with a formidable rood, elegantly
-trimmed as usual, began by lecturing me on
-my fault.</p>
-
-<p>“You impudent girl, I can scarcely believe
-it of you, Lucille, now you are just upon
-twelve, but this is the last whipping you
-will get at my hands, and I promise you it
-shall be a sound one, and then I’ll pack you
-off to the convent, with instructions to the
-sisters to be very strict in looking after
-you.”</p>
-
-<p>“Oh! Oh!! Papa,” I implored, “Have
-mercy, don’t be so severe, indeed I won’t do
-it again!”</p>
-
-<p>“Hold your tongue, Miss,” he said, impatiently,
-“you always cry before you are
-hurt, but you shall remember this whipping
-as long as you live;” giving me a slashing
-<a name="png.020" id="png.020" href="#png.020"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>20<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>cut round my loins, then another, and another
-on each cheek of my buttocks, “how
-do you like it, you bad girl! will you turn
-over a new leaf when you leave home? Will
-you? Will your? Will you? Will you?”
-Each question being accompanied by a terrific
-smarter; the blows seemed to cut like
-a red hot knife, and my boiling blood tingled
-from the tips of my fingers to the ends
-of my toes. I could feel great burning bursting
-weals rising on my skin at every cut;
-I screamed and plunged till the bed-post
-creaked with the strain, and my wrists
-and knee were quite pained by the tight ligatures
-by which they were secured.</p>
-
-<p>“Let this be a solemn warning to you,
-Miss Lucille,” he continued, “but I’m afraid
-all my efforts for your reformation are quite
-thrown away upon such a worthless baggage,”
-cutting away still more furiously,
-and as I turned my head to scream and implore
-for mercy, I could see how excited he
-was over the business with flushed face and
-<a name="png.021" id="png.021" href="#png.021"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>21<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>sparkling eyes; he was a fine handsome man
-of about forty-five, and gave me the idea of
-looking as if in the midst of a tremendous
-battle.</p>
-
-<p>Anything but a bloodless battle for me;
-my bottom was soon dripping with the ruby
-drops of my young blood, the sight of which
-seemed only to exasperate him still more.</p>
-
-<p>“Ah! You little wretch. Scream away!”
-he exclaimed. “It’s a beautiful sight to see
-you writhing and plunging under every scathing
-cut. May it do you good, and draw
-the imprudence out of your tail. Will you?
-Will you, try and behave better, or shall I
-send you off to the convent at once, in their
-holiday time? There! There!! There!!!”</p>
-
-<p>He finished with three tremendous cuts,
-without waiting for my reply, and sank
-back, gasping for breath, into an easy
-chair.</p>
-
-<p>It was quite a minute or two before my
-screams and moans of agony subsided.
-Then Miss Birch coming in, released my
-<a name="png.022" id="png.022" href="#png.022"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>22<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>hands and leg, an ordering me to rest on
-the bed for a while, retired with my father
-locking the door behind them.</p>
-
-<p>The smarting sensation now turned to
-a delicious voluptuous warmth, as I lay
-under the bed clothes. My right hand
-was passed all over the glowing surface
-of my buttocks, and seemed at last, quite
-unwittingly to settle itself on my hairless
-little cunny. I turned on my belly with
-my hand still under me, and wriggling
-myself about, as I lay thinking over all
-the cuts I had received, gradually found a
-most pleasing sensation from the rubbing
-of my hand and the two forefingers mechanically
-worked into the slit, squeezing
-my legs together, I rubbed on to increase
-the pleasurable<!-- TN: original reads "pleasureable" --> emotions which I felt
-driving me to strive and obtain, I knew
-not what. The frenzy now threw me into
-such a state of excitement that my fingers
-were plunged as far as possible up my
-virgin cunny, as I gasped, writhed, and
-<a name="png.023" id="png.023" href="#png.023"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>23<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>tossed my bottom up and down. The
-crisis came at last, and my furious efforts
-were rewarded by a most heavenly emission;
-my soul seemed to flow from me at
-the moment, and left me in a delightful
-state of voluptuous lethargy, which lasted
-for some minutes, and when at length I
-regained my serenity, it was to find my
-fingers, cunny, and thighs<!-- TN: original reads "thigs" --> all sticky from
-the thick spermy emission of my first maiden
-spend. There was also a slight stain
-of blood, for I had actually ravished myself
-in my furious excitement.</p>
-
-<p>I got up and sponged myself, then lay
-down to reflect on the curious and delicious
-emotions I had procured for myself, and determining
-to soon have a repetition of my
-secrets joys, fell asleep to dream of being in
-the arms of a most lovely boy about my own
-age, who seemed to impart to my ravished
-senses another taste of what I had already
-felt.</p>
-
-<p>Awaking in a struggle to retain my
-<a name="png.024" id="png.024" href="#png.024"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>24<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>love-bird, I found myself bedewed by another
-emission, but at last I slept with tranquility,
-and<!-- TN: original reads "aud" --> never shall I forget my first taste
-of joy that day.</p>

-
-
-<p>My father’s extreme severity made me
-rather glad when in about a week’s time
-Miss Birch began to make preparations
-for my departure to Belgium, and in less
-than three weeks I found myself installed
-as a pupil in the seminary of the Ursuline
-nuns at Brussels. The Lady Superior struck
-me from the very first as being a frightfully
-severe woman; the morning after
-<a name="png.026" id="png.026" href="#png.026"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>26<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>my arrival she sent for me to hear her
-read my father’s instructions, and remarked
-that he had given her <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">carte blanche<!-- TN: original reads "blanehe" --></i> as
-to punishment, and that in their school
-discipline was strictly enforced. “Remember,
-young lady,” said she, in dismissing
-me from her presence<!-- TN: original reads "presenee" -->, “we never overlook
-a fault, and that my word is law here.”</p>
-
-<p>My face flushed with indignation, and
-tears filled my eyes as I left the apartment,
-fully assured in my own mind that I must
-soon experience a taste of their discipline,
-nor had I long to wait, for two days after,
-having confidentially expressed my disgust
-to another pupil, with respect to the coarse
-fare set before us at meals, I soon found I had
-been talking to a tell-tale spy, who carried
-everything to the Superior.</p>
-
-<p>An elderly nun quietly told me she had
-been sent to conduct me to the private room
-of the Lady Superior. My time was come,
-and I followed my chaperone with trembling
-anxiety.</p>
-
-<p><a name="png.027" id="png.027" href="#png.027"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>27<span class="ns">]<br
- /></span></span></a>Our Superior was a stern looking woman of
-about forty-five, with dark piercing eyes and
-Roman nose, thin compressed lips considerably
-adding to the severity of her expression.</p>
-
-<p>“Mdlle. Lucille,” said the superior, “I
-thought the caution I gave you on your arrival,
-would at least have saved you from trouble
-for some time, and spared me the pain of
-inflicting personal correction on you so soon
-after your entry into our seminary, but I
-am afraid your papa must have had serious
-cause for wishing me to be severe with you;
-now what have you been saying to your
-fellow pupil the Mdlle. Olive; did you remark,
-‘<!-- TN: original uses double quote -->that the food was not fit for a dog,
-much less schoolgirls’<!-- TN: original lacks closing quote -->?”</p>
-
-<p>I looked down in confusion, “Ah, I see,”
-she continued, “you cannot deny it; well
-Lucille, I hope soon to convince you that our
-bill of fare is both wholesome and proper for
-the pupils, I shall give you one dozen cuts
-with the rod, and then let you off if you promise
-not to offend in the same way again.”</p>
-
-<p><a name="png.028" id="png.028" href="#png.028"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>28<span class="ns">]<br
- /></span></span></a>The nun who was called Serena, now placed
-a long stool in the middle of the apartment,
-and made me lie on it full length face downwards,
-then I felt her cold busy hands as
-they turned up my clothes, and opened my
-drawers behind, till my bottom was left
-naked to the attack of the Lady Superior.</p>
-
-<p>“Do you, Mdlle. Lucille,” she asked
-sternly, “consider that our fare of bread
-and porridge three times a day, and meat or
-soup twice a week, added for dinner is only
-fit for a dog? Ah! Ha!” she went on, cutting
-me slowly and severely at every few words,
-“This will give you a better appetite; how
-do you like birch sauce, Miss Dainty Mouth<!-- TN: original reads "Mout" -->?”</p>
-
-<p>I screamed with the pain, and plunged
-about so that Sister Serena had to hold me
-down with all her weight upon my shoulders.
-“Forgive me, oh, forgive me this
-time, I won’t speak to Olive again!” I gasped
-out as the heavy woman almost
-stopped my breath, but at last it was over,
-and after kissing the rod and making me
-<a name="png.029" id="png.029" href="#png.029"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>29<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>look at the blood-stained weals on my bottom,
-they sent me away with a caution how
-I spoke about that or anything else I might
-see done in the convent.</p>
-
-<p>I longed to have my revenge on the
-deceitful Olive, but knew not where to turn
-for a confidant, they all perhaps would be
-equally treacherous. I stuck to my lessons
-and avoided punishment as much as possible,
-being assured that the longer I brooded
-on my revenge the more complete it would
-be in the end, at the same time I thoroughly
-studied every part of the building to which I
-was allowed access, in the hope I might some
-day find it very useful if I wanted to effect
-my escape.</p>
-
-<p>The nuns I believe slept in dormitories,
-where there were a dozen or more together,
-but every pupil had a very small room to
-herself, mine was in a long corridor, and
-Olive’s three or four doors from mine, there
-were neither locks or bolts to any door, as

- class="ns">[</span>30<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>supposed to take frequent peeps at us in our
-sleep; I had at last matured my plan, and
-having everything in readiness, one dark
-night when there was not even a glimpse of
-moonlight, I patiently watched till some of
-the principals had paid the accustomed visit,
-and heard the cracked voice of an old nun
-say, “fast asleep,” as I feigned to be in a
-deep slumber.</p>
-
-<p>Soon their footsteps died away in the corridor,
-and after waiting some time, till I felt
-sure every pupil must be again asleep, if the
-going round should have awakened them, I
-crept out of bed, and providing myself with
-some pins and a strong piece of cord, was soon
-at the bedside of the treacherous girl I wanted
-to serve out; my first act was to quietly
-pass my cord around her, outside the small
-bed, so that I could suddenly draw it tight
-and secure her a helpless victim in my power
-then suddenly stuffing the bedclothes into
-her mouth before she could scream out, ordered
-her in a rough whisper to keep quiet<!-- TN: original reads "quie" -->
-<a name="png.031" id="png.031" href="#png.031"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>31<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>or I would kill her; it was too dark to see
-her terrified face, but she shuddered all over,
-and seemed as if her very blood was chilled,
-so cold did she seem to my touch.</p>
-
-<p>Taking advantage of her fright, hands
-and feet were instantly tied so that she was
-spread out in a helpless fashion; I made her
-own handkerchief, which<!-- TN: original reads "handkerchieff, vhich" --> I happened to get
-hold of, into a gag, and at the same time
-could feel the drops of cold sweat upon her
-temples. Now I turned up the bedclothes
-or pushed them off, as I was tying the cord,
-till she was quite naked from the bosom
-downwards.</p>
-
-<p>My hands roved over the soft, firm, naked
-flesh of her belly, then to the mount of love,
-which I found just beginning to be fledged
-with silky down. My fingers sought the
-crack below, and I could not help amusing
-myself by frigging her with all my might,
-the two first fingers of my right hand ruthlessly
-pushing into her cunny, and I knew
-caused her intense pain; from the slight
-<a name="png.032" id="png.032" href="#png.032"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>32<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>groans which the gag could not entirely suppress.</p>
-
-<p>What pleasure it was to me to torture her
-by my roughness, and outrage her every
-sense of modesty, although I was too ignorant
-at the time to know that my fingers
-were actually taking the poor girl’s virginity;
-a kind of fury possessed me, and I actually
-bit the lips of her cunny, and munched off
-as much of the silky down as I could bite
-away; the pain must have been intense, and
-her writhing, shuddering agony was so much
-bliss to me.</p>
-
-<p>At last to finish her off I got a piece of the
-cord, and passing it right along her crack,
-tied it round her thighs and waist as tightly
-and painfully as possible, and then for ornament
-stuck a lot of pins in the plumb cheeks
-of her bottom and left them there.</p>
-
-<p>My revenge was complete, so wiping my
-fingers on the bedclothes, for fear of any
-blood-stains, &amp;c., I left my victim just as
-she was, to be tormented by her horrible
-<a name="png.033" id="png.033" href="#png.033"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>33<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>pains and fears till some one might find it
-out, and release her in the morning.</p>
-
-<p>This outrage was never discovered, my victim
-was found insensible next morning, and
-remained in a delirious state for three or four
-weeks before she recovered consciousness,
-and then the agony and terror she had endured
-on that awful night had so turned her
-brain that she believed it was the devil who
-had so grossly ill-used her, but I heard that
-one of the father confessors was strongly
-suspected of having committed the atrocity.</p>
-
-<p>The Superior<!-- TN: original reads "Supertor" -->, with whom Olive had been
-a favourite, now vented her spite in every
-direction amongst the young lady pupils of
-the seminary, and I for one soon fell under
-her displeasure, and was ordered to be tied
-up to their whipping post; it was only for
-slightly oversleeping myself, and not dressing
-quickly when the bell rang for us to get
-up at 6 <span class="allsc">A.M.<!-- TN: original reads "A. M." --></span></p>
-
-<p>I was suspended by my wrists being tied
-high up the post as I stood upon a small
-<a name="png.034" id="png.034" href="#png.034"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>34<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>footstool<!-- TN: original reads "footsotol" -->, then it was suddenly kicked away,
-the jerk of the sudden strain on my wrists
-almost making the straps cut into the flesh.
-My feet were dangling some inches from the
-ground, “Oh! Oh! Ah—r—r—r—re!”
-I screamed, “How cruel! Oh! Papa! Papa!<!-- TN: punctuation invisible -->
-If you only knew how they are treating me
-in this awful place!”</p>
-
-<p>Lady Superior (who seemed delighted at
-the sight of my pain),—“Hold your foolish
-noise, Mdlle. Lucille, wait till you have something
-to scream about, girl.” Then the
-old Serena, who it seemed was always in
-attendance at punishment time, pinned up my
-skirts and opened my drawers behind, and
-the Superior went on, “This rod shall make
-all the sluggards turn out quicker in the morning;
-what do you think, Mademoiselle, of
-making us all wait prayers for ten minutes<!-- TN: original reads "minntes" -->?
-will you wake—wake—wake up sharper in
-future?”</p>
-
-<p>She gave me three smarting cuts at each
-word, and my suspended position added so
-<a name="png.035" id="png.035" href="#png.035"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>35<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>much to the intensity of my pain, that I
-screamed, kicked, and plunged about as I
-swung by my wrists from the post. “Sister
-Serena,” exclaimed the Superior, “keep the
-girl steady or I cannot plant my cuts as effectually
-as I ought to do upon her naughty
-impudent bottom, she shan’t sleep for a
-week if I can<!-- TN: original reads "ean" --> only make it sore enough!”
-Serena now held me to<!-- TN: original lacks "to" --> the post with one hand,
-to prevent my swaying about, whilst the rod
-rained a succession of withering, scorching
-cuts on my buttocks, and just underneath
-the parting of the cheeks of my bottom. My
-screams were heartrending, but they only
-seemed to enjoy it more and the Superior
-never ended her objurgations till the rod was
-worn out.</p>
-
-<p>Things now went on till I was nearly fourteen<!-- TN: original reads "four.een" -->,
-we never had a holiday, and only short
-letters came to me from home, in which my
-father constantly expressed his hopes of my
-improvement, and seemed quite oblivious to
-all I had written from time to time about my
-<a name="png.036" id="png.036" href="#png.036"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>36<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>severe treatment, and begging him to remove
-me to some other school.</p>
-
-<p>I afterwards found out that my home
-letters were regularly<!-- TN: original reads "regulardy" --> suppressed, and others
-more suitable were written and sent to papa,
-in my name; what wretch that Superior now
-appears in my eyes, she not only delighted in
-whipping us nearly to death, but forget letters
-to our parents so as to keep her pupils,
-and make everything appear <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">couleur de
-rose</i>.</p>
-
-<p>Perhaps, dear Rosa, you have heard that
-I managed to escape from that dreadful convent,
-but previous to that they nearly killed
-me. I was getting quite a big girl, my pussey
-already sported its silken down on the Mons<!-- TN: original reads "Mons." -->
-Veneris, which we all consider such an ornament
-to our secret charms.</p>
-
-<p>The Superior had lately taken much notice
-of me, and introduced me to a clique of her
-favourites, three or four pretty girls about my
-own age, who were often indulged with little
-treats in her private room; there, we girls
-<a name="png.037" id="png.037" href="#png.037"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>37<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>were encouraged and instructed in all kinds
-of lascivious ideas; we looked at each other’s
-cunnies, tickled and kissed each other in
-every possible way, the Superior encouraging
-us, and suggesting a variety of attitudes
-for us to try. She had a huge godemiche,
-about nine inches long, and very thick,
-which she would fit upon one of the girls,
-and then submit herself to be fucked as hard
-as possible, whilst the other girls had to turn
-up the girl’s skirts, and smack her bottom
-hard and fast, with the palms of their hands,
-to make the young gentleman (as the Superior
-called her partner) work fast and vigorously.</p>
-
-<p>Then she would have us all strip naked,
-whilst we had in turn to kiss and suck her
-cunt, when it was all slimy with her spendings.</p>
-
-<p>I did not mind the slapping, or allowing
-any one to kiss and tongue-fuck my cunny,
-but the Superior’s was so hairy, and had
-such meaty looking lips, and a huge clitoris,
-<a name="png.038" id="png.038" href="#png.038"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>38<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>(which I now know is induced by long-continued
-self-abuse), and it smelt so fishy,
-that I absolutely declined the honour of gamahuching
-her, and nothing could induce
-me to do so.</p>
-
-<p>This so enraged her that she flew at me
-like a tigress. I was knocked down, and
-beaten with a thick stick<!-- TN: original reads "Stick thick" -->, till my flesh was
-bruised<!-- TN: original reads "bruiced" --> all over, and then picked up,
-almost fainting, and hurried off to my own
-little room.</p>
-
-<p>Perhaps nothing further would have happened,
-but in my innocence, I supposed my
-letters were sent home just as I sealed them
-up, so I wrote to Miss Birch a full account of
-what I had been seduced into, and the
-dreadful beating I had received, for not liking
-the cunt of the Lady Superior.</p>
-
-<p>The very next day after I thought the letter
-was gone, the old nun, Serena, fetched me
-into a dull gloomy room, which I had never
-been in before, but at once rightly judged to
-be a punishment chamber, when I saw a high
-<a name="png.039" id="png.039" href="#png.039"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>39<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>whipping post, made of a square beam, set
-upright in the floor, with two rings near the
-top on each side, by which to tie up the
-victim; a birch<!-- TN: original reads "bireh" --> rod was hanging on the
-wall, and two scourges with long things lay
-upon a seat at one end, but I had no time for
-further observation, as the Superior seemed
-to follow us into the room almost immediately.</p>
-
-<p>“Now, Mdlle. Lucille,” she exclaimed,
-grinding her teeth in rage, “you shall rue
-the insult you put upon me the other day,
-before my special favourites, of which I had
-minded to make you one, so that when you
-left the seminary you might look back with
-pleasure to the loving amusements I had
-first introduced you to; perhaps I should
-have overlooked it all, but see I have your
-letter. Ha! Ha!! you little fool to think that
-would ever go out of the convent!”</p>
-
-<p>Sister Serena had by this time put me on
-a stool, and was fastening my wrists one on
-each side of the post, and presently the stool<!-- TN: original reads "stoo" -->
-<a name="png.040" id="png.040" href="#png.040"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>40<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>was removed, and I found myself just touching
-the floor with the tips of my toes.</p>
-
-<p>“What a beautiful position, how she will
-twist about and scream when she feels the
-scourge, make haste to bare her bottom, as I
-am burning to pay her out. Ha! Ha!! Mdlle.
-Lucille, I fancy you wouldn’t mind kissing
-my cunt now if I promised to let you off,”
-said the Superior spitefully.</p>
-
-<p>My courage and natural obstinacy came to
-my assistance at the moment, I was so indignant,
-and the idea was so repulsive to me
-that I resolved rather to die than do that for
-her; I was frightened and yet flushed with
-shame and indignation at my treatment, besides
-something seemed to advise me to irritate
-my tormentor to do her worst, and get
-it over quickly.</p>
-
-<p>“No! No!! No, never!!! you may kill me,
-and then I should be out of my misery!” I
-exclaimed.</p>
-
-<p>She scowled with ferocity, but said with
-all the calmness she could command, “<!-- TN: punctuation invisible -->make
-<a name="png.041" id="png.041" href="#png.041"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>41<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>haste, Serena, up with her clothes, and open
-the drawers well, and keep her as steady as
-possible.” Then taking up the instrument of
-punishment I could see it consisted of five
-or six long thongs of whipcord, plaited and
-knotted at the ends, fixed on a very elastic
-handle.</p>
-
-<p>It was poised in her hand for a moment,
-and then brought down with stinging force
-on my exposed buttocks, then again, and
-again, and again, in quick succession; each
-cut seemed to sear the flesh as if done by a
-red hot iron, my piercing screams filled the
-whole place, and the Superior, her eyes sparkling
-with ferocious joy,<!-- TN: punctuation invisible --> jeered me about how
-I liked the scourge. “How lovely you look,
-Mdlle. Lucille, as you plunge and scream,
-and I know the intense agony of every cut;
-would you rather die now, my little dear?
-Well, I’ve a good mind to kill you, outright,
-only I want to keep you as long as that
-<em>dear, kind papa</em> of yours is willing to pay!
-How he must have loved his Lucille, to place
-<a name="png.042" id="png.042" href="#png.042"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>42<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>her with me; I’m so kind, so very kind, you
-know, my dear girl! What do you think of
-my kindness, you little love?”</p>
-
-<p>Her cuts were awful, and I swayed and
-plunged so that it was impossible for Serena
-to keep my body steady, so she seized the
-other scourge, and tried her best to second
-the Superior in her efforts to cut me up more
-and more.</p>
-
-<p>At last they fairly panted for breath, as I
-was left dangling, sobbing and moaning,
-with my clothes torn, my drawers in shreds,
-and streaming with blood all down my
-thighs and legs.</p>
-
-<p>Fearing I might faint, they poured a little
-strong cordial down my parched throat,
-sponged my face with cold water, and put
-some strong snuff up my nose, which almost
-drove me into convulsions, so very violent
-was the fit of sneezing produced.</p>
-
-<p>They seemed carried away with delight at
-the sight of my sufferings, and sprinkled a
-quantity of the snuff over the cuts on my
-<a name="png.043" id="png.043" href="#png.043"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>43<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>bottom, just to dry up the blood, as they
-said with a laugh. Next all my clothes
-were cut or torn off, till I had nothing on but
-slippers, stockings, and the remains of my
-drawers.</p>
-
-<p>“Now we’ll finish off the obstinate, impudent
-little beast, I wish I dare kill her,”<!-- TN: original reads "’" -->
-said the Superior, grinding her teeth, “only
-I should lose too much, she is worth more
-alive than dead.”</p>
-
-<p>A couple of lady’s riding whips were now
-produced, and the two women attacked me
-afresh; I was cut all over my body, each cut
-seemed as if done with a red hot knife, the
-blood flowed down my back in streams, and
-yet their rage seemed to increase at the sight
-of my sufferings. My screams were awful,
-but only so much music to their ears. They
-jeered and derided my cries for “God to
-have mercy on me, &amp;c.,” said “my time
-was come to die, but they would make me
-last as long as possible, and draw out my agony
-to the very last gasp.”</p>
-
-<p><a name="png.044" id="png.044" href="#png.044"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>44<span class="ns">]<br
- /></span></span></a>This must all have passed in a very short
-time, but was an age of intense suffering to
-me, and the finale was such a display of ferocity
-that I sank under it, and thus robbed
-them of the pleasure of prolonging my torture.
-The Superior seized me by the hair,
-and drawing my head back, lashed her whip
-across my face and bosom, drawing more
-blood at every cut, whilst old Serena, not to
-be outdone, took my right leg under her arm,
-cut me dreadfully<!-- TN: original reads "dread-fully" --> inside my thighs, along
-the crack of my pussey, and made the tip of
-her whip<!-- TN: original reads "wip" --> reach the Mons<!-- TN: original reads "Mons." --> Veneris.</p>
-
-<p>This was the last I could recollect, but
-when I came to myself I was in my own bed,
-wrapped up in cloths soaked in water. No
-bones were broken, and my health soon
-recovered sufficiently to enable me to effect
-my escape, and avoid their further malice.</p>

-
-<p>It was about 3 <span class="allsc">A.M.</span> one fine morning
-when I escaped from the Ursuline Convent;
-and made my way to the Hotel d’Angleterre,
-the porter in answer to my summons was
-about to refuse to give me refuge, when a
-young Englishman, who was just taking his
-candle in the hall, said, “he’d be damned if
-I should not be taken care of,” and ordered
-the chambermaid to be called to attend on
-<a name="png.046" id="png.046" href="#png.046"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>46<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>me, and added that he would be responsible
-for all expenses. “Certainly, my lord,” said
-the porter of the hotel, but he added <!-- TN superfluous opening quote removed --><i lang="it" xml:lang="it">sotto
-voce</i>,<!-- TN superfluous closing quote removed --> “<!-- TN opening quote inserted -->I think he’s a fool to be so easily imposed
-upon.”</p>
-
-<p>I was too glad to have found a protector,
-(especially when I found he was an aristocrat),
-so I quietly followed the <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">femme de chambre</i>,
-and was content to await awhile for the
-<i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">denouement</i> of my adventure.</p>
-
-<p>Breakfast was brought to me about eleven
-o’clock, and also a message to say that Lord
-Dunwich, would do himself the pleasure of
-waiting upon me in an hour’s time.</p>
-
-<p>You may be sure I was all impatience to
-see the kind fellow who had stood my friend,
-and was most agreeably surprised to find his
-manners quite equal to his appearance when
-I saw him again.</p>
-
-<p>His Lordship was greatly interested by the
-account of my escape from the convent, and
-said he was a very particular friend of my
-betrothed husband, the Earl of Ellington,
-<a name="png.047" id="png.047" href="#png.047"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>47<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>and would put me under the protection of a
-lady going to England, who would see me
-safe home. He was such a handsome fellow,
-and my gratitude was so gushing that at
-the moment I could have refused him no
-thing, and was delighted by the way he
-lingered over a kiss, he would insist upon as
-his due, my whole soul seemed to leap
-towards the generous fellow, and tears of
-disappointment stood in my eyes when he
-was gone.</p>
-
-<p>I never saw him again till my wedding
-day, two years later, when he was best man
-to my husband, and in my eyes looked a
-thousand times more loveable.</p>
-
-<p>A married couple of sixteen and twenty-eight
-ought to have been blessed with every
-happiness, but after the first three days of
-our honeymoon the Earl’s temper seemed so
-overbearing and imperious, that I began
-seriously to regret my fate, and looked forward
-to a life of gilded misery. The Earl was
-fond of the turf, and often left me alone
-<a name="png.048" id="png.048" href="#png.048"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>48<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>whilst he spent a fortnight at Newmarket or
-Doncaster and York.</p>
-
-<p>One day I was agreeably surprised by
-a call from Lord Dunwich, (we were living
-in Grosvenor Square at the time), he looked
-more handsome than ever, and seemed<!-- TN: original reads "semed" --> so
-full of sympathy for me in every respect that
-I could<!-- TN: original reads "Icould" --> not help falling into tears, and telling
-him all my fears, and how I was neglected
-for nasty ugly fourlegged brutes of race-horses,
-and<!-- TN: original reads "aud" --> that in fact I was sure Lord Ellington
-loved his Derby favourite better than
-myself, and would rather I broke my neck
-than his pet should fall lame.</p>
-
-<p>“Ah, Lucille” he said, falling on his
-knees before me, “how your distress<!-- TN: original reads "distrees" --> cuts
-me to the quick, would to God I could comfort
-you in any way! I have loved you from
-the first moment we met, although I knew
-you belonged to a bosom friend, and now
-the wretch slights you; look up, dear Lucille,
-from your tears, smile upon one who
-is devoted to you body and soul!” And
-<a name="png.049" id="png.049" href="#png.049"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>49<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>then seizing my hand, upon which he imprinted
-a lot of impassioned<!-- TN: original reads "impassionned" --> kisses, “Ah,
-you will pardon my presumptuous love, how
-can I help it?”</p>
-
-<p>I was piqued by the Earl’s coldness towards
-me, and something impelled me to pity the
-handsome suitor at my feet, so that although
-the tears were still welling<!-- TN: original reads "welting" --> from my eyes,
-could not help smiling<!-- TN: original reads "smilling" --> and caressing his
-head as he looked up to my face.</p>
-
-<p>“Darling Lucille, I may call you so now,
-you respond to my love, my happiness is too
-great,” he exclaimed, drawing my unresisting
-body down, so that our lips quickly met
-in a rapturous kiss of real love.</p>
-
-<p>I was lost, and he so rapidly took advantage
-of everything, that proceeding from one
-liberty to another, in less than ten minutes I
-was an adulteress<!-- TN: original reads "adultress" -->, but what a sweet sin, what
-transports of love shot through our souls
-as we melted away again and again in the
-ecstasies<!-- TN: original reads "extasies"; OED does not list this as a variant spelling --> of mutual enjoyment; how we toyed
-with each other’s most secret charms, and
-<a name="png.050" id="png.050" href="#png.050"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>50<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>promised to renew our forbidden pleasure
-at every convenient opportunity.</p>
-
-<p>Alas, for our happiness<!-- TN: original reads "hapinness" -->, some spy informed
-the Earl of my sweet <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">liaison</i>, he made
-an excuse<!-- TN: original reads "exsuse" --> to visit Brussels with me and
-again I found myself incarcerated in a hateful
-convent<!-- TN: original reads "couvent" -->.</p>
-
-<p>The kindness of my husband on our journey
-from England (which I afterwards found
-was only a part of his most artful programme),
-had so imposed upon my rather
-soft-hearted nature, that I really<!-- TN: original reads "realy" --> felt sorry
-that I ever been unfaithful<!-- TN: original reads "unfaithlul" --> to my marriage
-vows, although no doubt the image of my
-loving paramour was firmly imprinted in my
-heart.</p>
-
-<p>We went to operas, bal masques, saw all
-the sights, and enjoyed ourselves immensely
-for a few days and being strict Catholics he
-one day said jestingly, “I suppose, Lucille,
-we must go to confession, and get absolution
-after having enjoyed ourselves, and confess
-all the delightful sins we have committed;
-<a name="png.051" id="png.051" href="#png.051"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>51<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>by-the-bye, be sure you do not forget to
-confess having ridden a St. George on your
-husband, and allowed him to spend his seed
-in your hand, or on your pretty bosom, they
-are most awful sins, and will cost a pretty
-penny for absolution. I should not be surprised
-if the Rev. Father undertook to inflict
-personal chastisement <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">à la Girard et Cadière</i>,”
-he added, laughing.</p>
-
-<p>“But, seriously,” I answered, “apart
-from joking, I know we ought to do it, and
-will go to that church in the Rue de la Madeleine
-this very day, I know I am a sinner,
-but don’t like to make a laugh of such serious
-things.”</p>
-
-<p>Then seating myself on his knee, I drew
-his face to mine, and kissed him lovingly,
-as I added, “But, dear Francis, you won’t
-leave your little wife so long again, will you,
-for those horrid horses? You can’t imagine
-how dull and low spirited I get when left all
-by myself.”</p>
-
-<p>“What a pretty pouting little bride you
-<a name="png.052" id="png.052" href="#png.052"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>52<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>look. Why, Lucille, the way you kiss excites
-me as if we were still on the honeymoon
-trip; but dearest,” he added, “a sporting
-man must see his horses tried and run, then,
-you, know, I shall make up in the winter
-what you lose in the summer; there’s nothing
-else to do then but to make love. Ha,
-you sweet little devil, do you want to commit
-another sin before confession?”</p>
-
-<p>My hand had been gently caressing<!-- TN: original reads "carressing" --> his
-prick outside his breeches, till it was now
-rampant and impatient of the restraining
-cloth.</p>
-
-<p>“Well,” he went on, following my
-example, by passing a hand up my clothes,
-and gently tickling my clitoris with his forefinger,
-“<!-- TN: punctuation invisible -->we’ll lump it all together, so there
-won’t be any more to pay. My Stars, Lucille,
-how excitable you are. You’re spending
-on my fingers. It’s nothing to blush
-about, little simpleton.”</p>
-
-<p>I got off his lap, and kneeling before him,
-unbuttoned his flap, and the engine of love
-<a name="png.053" id="png.053" href="#png.053"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>53<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>seemed to leap into my hand, its fiery head,
-with the skin turned back, looked so tempting,
-that I could not resist the temptation
-to kiss and caress it for a few moments. My
-tongue played lasciviously round the tender
-and excitable surface, whilst my hands, were
-fondling his finely developed balls.</p>
-
-<p>“Darling! Darling!” he ejaculated. “It’s
-coming! Oh! I can’t stop—kiss—kiss<!-- TN: original reads "hiss" -->—suck
-it. Take it in your mouth, Lucille! Oh! Ah!
-How delicious! You darling, to think you
-would give me so much pleasure!”</p>
-
-<p>I was as excited as himself, and sucked
-and swallowed his delicious spendings to
-the very last drop, as he pressed my head
-down with his hands, and gasped out his
-hands, and gasped out his ejaculations of
-ecstasy<!-- TN: original reads "extasy"; OED does not list this as a variant spelling -->.</p>
-
-<p>“Now, it’s my turn, Sir. I mean to have
-a St. George, as you lie on the hearthrug.
-Come, down with you at once, or I will bite
-it off,” making him feel my teeth, as I playfully
-took it again in my mouth.</p>
-
-<p><a name="png.054" id="png.054" href="#png.054"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>54<span class="ns">]<br
- /></span></span></a>We had a delightful bout on the hearthrug,
-and I rode him till he spent into my excited
-cunt a third time. Keeping his cock stiff,
-and starting him again after each<!-- TN: original reads "eaeh" --> spend by
-the contractions of the folds of my vagina,
-which he declared gave him the most exquisite
-and voluptuous sensations, and that he
-had never experienced anything to equal it in
-his life, many women as he had had in his time.</p>
-
-<p>Presently I told him that as soon as I
-could get dressed I would go to confession.</p>
-
-<p>“Do love,” he replied, “and if the Confessor
-is reasonable with you, I will go
-myself to-morrow, or send for him to wait
-on me at the hotel.”</p>
-
-<p>I left him smoking a cigar<!-- TN: original reads "eigar" -->, and about an
-hour-and-a-half afterwards entered the
-church, where I was immediately accosted
-by an elderly priest. “<!-- TN: punctuation invisible -->If the English lady
-wishes to confess, the Father Francisco<!-- TN: original reads "Framcisco" --> in
-yonder box is most suitable for Madame.<!-- TN: punctuation invisible --> He
-knows the English ways so well, and was
-consecrated in England.”</p>
-
-<p><a name="png.055" id="png.055" href="#png.055"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>55<span class="ns">]<br
- /></span></span></a>I approached the box, which was in a very
-secluded corner of the sacred building, and
-kneeling on a hassock, enquired, in a low
-voice, “If the Rev. Father Francisco was
-ready to hear my confession?”</p>
-
-<p>“Yes, my daughter, and I pray God you
-may have nothing but venial sins to confess,”
-was the reply of my unseen Confessor.</p>
-
-<p>In my innocence I related every act of our
-married life; how excited we were in our
-love games, and the various attitudes we
-used to heighten our enjoyment.</p>
-
-<p>“Awfully sensual, my daughter. Your
-Confessor previous to marriage must have
-admonished you as to the use of these unnatural
-postures in following the dictates of
-nature in your endeavours to obey the first
-commandment, ‘<cite>to increase and multiply</cite>.’
-The holy rites of matrimony ought not to be
-perverted by lascivious ideas and filthy
-sacrifices to lust. It is a most serious thing
-my daughter, but before I consider what
-penance to exact for such sins, tell me, as
-<a name="png.056" id="png.056" href="#png.056"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>56<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>you value the intercession of our Holy
-Mother, have you always been faithful to
-your husband? If only by a look or a gesture,
-it<!-- TN: original reads "et" --> is important to your<!-- TN: original reads "jour" --> salvation hereafter
-that you should confess it now.”</p>
-
-<p>I was silent, dumbfoundered<!-- TN: archaic but OED says OK --> for a moment
-or two. “Ah! my daughter, conceal nothing.
-Alas! it is as I feared—conceal nothing from
-me, or it will be impossible for me to grant
-you absolution.”</p>
-
-<p>Thus pressed, and feeling but a full
-confession would avail me with the Confessor,
-I told him everything, and especially how
-sorry I felt at having allowed my pique at
-the Earl’s neglect to have carried me into
-such a <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">liaison</i>, and that the tender regard he
-had lately exhibited towards me smote me
-to the quick for my unfaithfulness, and that
-that was the reason I had so given way to
-lasciviousness<!-- TN: original reads "lasciviouness" --> with him, in order to compensate,
-by the perfect abandon of my love, for
-any suspicions he might entertain.</p>
-
-<p>“My daughter<!-- TN: original reads "daugter" -->, I must consult our Superior.
-<a name="png.057" id="png.057" href="#png.057"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>57<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>Yours<!-- TN: original reads "Your’s" --> is such a serious case, and I beg that
-you will go into the vestry, by the door
-behind this box, and wait a few minutes, till
-I bring you his decision,” said Father Francisco.</p>
-
-<p>I was all of a tremble, my face felt hot with
-blushes of shame and I longed to hide from
-observation<!-- TN: original reads "abservation" --> for a few minutes, so I readily
-went into the vestry, as he had requested. It
-was a bare scantily furnished room, with a
-few chairs, a writing table covered with
-papers, and some priests’ frocks and vestments
-hanging round the walls.</p>
-
-<p>Presently the old priest who had accosted
-me on my first entering the church, came to
-conduct me to Father Francisco’s room, but
-instead of that, I found myself in the cell of
-a convent, with the door locked behind me.</p>
-
-<p>The worst fears assailed my frightened
-mind; I sank on my knees, calling on God
-and my husband to release me, crying and
-stamping in impotent rage by turns; this
-must have lasted an hour or two. Then a
-<a name="png.058" id="png.058" href="#png.058"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>58<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>little wicket was opened in the door, and the
-same old priest told me to calm myself, for
-Father<!-- TN: original reads "Falher" --> Francisco and the Superior were
-praying to the Holy Mother to direct them
-what penance to impose upon such a sinner,
-and that I must remain where I was till next
-day, when, he added, “no doubt you will
-be restored to your loving husband, as pure
-in mind and spirit as when you first took
-your marriage vows.”</p>
-
-<p>I was going to implore him to allay the
-Earl’s anxiety on my behalf, but he assured
-me they had sent to his lordship to say that
-I was doing penance for some hours in their
-convent, and quickly closed the <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">guichet</i>, so
-that I was again left alone.</p>

-
-
-<p>Two nuns supplied me with refreshment,
-made me up a bed on the floor, and I really
-had nothing to complain of as to treatment
-that first night, still, something seemed to
-assure me that I really was a prisoner<!-- TN: original reads "prisonner" -->, and
-should not so easily get out of the convent.
-My hope was, that the Earl would speedily
-insist upon my speedy release, (little dreaming
-at the moment that he was the instigator
-<a name="png.060" id="png.060" href="#png.060"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>60<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>of my detention, and had actually acted as
-confessor in the assumed name of Father
-Francisco.)</p>
-
-<p>My anxiety was greatly increased the next
-day, when hour after hour passed, and still
-no communication from the Confessor or Superior,
-the nuns who brought me in breakfast
-and dinner were silent to all my enquiries or
-offers of bribes if they would help me get out
-of the place.</p>
-
-<p>My watch had stopped for want of a key,
-but about seven o’clock<!-- TN: original reads "o’ clock" --> in the evening, as
-near as I could guess, the old priest opened
-the door, and beckoned me to follow him.
-My heart suddenly recovered its courage, and
-I braced up my nerves to bear the severest penance;
-we passed along several passages, and
-at last opening a door, he motioned me to enter.<!-- TN: punctuation invisible -->
-There, sitting before a small table, which had
-a bible and crucifix upon it, sat a rather
-young priest, about the same age as my
-husband, but with a close shaven face and
-crown (the Earl had heavy whiskers and
-<a name="png.061" id="png.061" href="#png.061"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>61<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>moustache, I had never seen him otherwise),
-and he struck me as being very like Francis
-about the nose and eyes, still, no suspicion
-that it could really be him<!-- TN: original reads "gim" --> came into
-my mind.</p>
-
-<p>“Daughter Lucille, Lady Ellington,” said
-the seated Confessor, as the other locked the
-door behind me, “In answer to prayer, the
-Holy Mother has inspired us to grant you
-absolution, only after the most severe personal
-chastisement and humiliations we can possibly
-inflict upon you. Then, you will<!-- TN: original reads "wil" --> return
-to your confiding loving husband, purified of
-your adulterous sins, but for all that, he will
-still, and for the rest of his life, wear the
-horns of a cuckolded husband, which is his
-punishment for teaching you such lascivious
-ideas; it is an awful sin to so abandon yourselves
-to lust, and your unfaithfulness is the
-providential punishment he so well deserves.”</p>
-
-<p>My face and neck were suffused with the
-blushes of burning shame, as my eyes fell
-beneath his ardent gaze, besides something
-<a name="png.062" id="png.062" href="#png.062"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>62<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>instinctively told me that both Father Francisco
-and his coadjutor were enjoying the
-sight of my confusion.</p>
-
-<p>“Now please divest yourself of everything
-you have on, except corset, chemise and
-drawers, whilst I prepare this scourger for
-the chastisement of your wicked sensual flesh,
-and my brother here will get that rope in
-order, ready to tie up your hands above your
-head.”<!-- TN: punctuation invisible --></p>
-
-<p>I scarcely knew how I got my dress and
-skirts off, as my hands trembled so, and the
-idea of stripping before two men, even if
-they were priests, was so distressing to my
-sense of modesty, but, somehow or other,
-I was soon standing up, with my skirts on
-the floor, about my heels, and my last under
-petticoat tucked up under my corset.</p>
-
-<p>Father Francisco confronted me, scourge
-in hand, and pointing with his finger to my
-drawers in front, roughly ordered me to open
-them, and show where I had admitted my
-lover, when in the act of committing adultery.</p>
-
-<p><a name="png.063" id="png.063" href="#png.063"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>63<span class="ns">]<br
- /></span></span></a>“Open it, you wicked woman. I must see
-the seat of lust itself!”</p>
-
-<p>He flourished his scourge so, and gave<!-- TN: comma deleted --> me
-two such terrible cuts round my buttocks,
-that I was compelled to obey his immodest
-and shameful order, and the moment I had
-done so, he produced a pair of scissors and
-denuded me of<!-- TN: original reads "hof" --> nearly all the dark, silky
-chevelure I took such delight in viewing in
-the glass, when ever I dressed myself, or just
-got out of my morning bath.</p>
-
-<p>“I suppose you were so excited and wanton,
-when Lord Dunwich embraced you,
-that you shewed him everything, even your
-nakedness, as the Bible calls it; did you
-blush then, as you pretend to do now, Lucille?”
-he asked.</p>
-
-<p>My surprise and indignation almost choked
-me, so that I was unable to speak, and he
-gave me a heavy slap with his hand on my
-bottom, saying, “So you will not answer,
-and think I am behaving shamefully, do you?
-It’s nothing to what you will have to submit
-<a name="png.064" id="png.064" href="#png.064"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>64<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>to presently, Lady Ellington; turn round
-and open your legs, and stoop forward this
-instant, or I will flog the very life out of you!”</p>
-
-<p>His rude hand was passed under my bottom,
-between my legs, and as I covered my face
-with my hands, I could feel his fingers invade
-every secret spot in turn, even to forcing
-a digit up the fundamental orifice,
-which is always so tight and difficult of entrance,
-saying, as he did so: “Did you let
-him go there, or has your husband ever sodomised
-your bum-hole? Ha! Ha! How
-modest we are now. Speak; say if you
-ever allowed any one to put his prick in your
-arse?”</p>
-
-<p>I cannot recollect all he said or questioned
-me about, but his words and actions were
-every moment more and more coarse and
-obscene, on purpose to add to my humiliation.</p>
-
-<p>“Here, Father Anthony<!-- TN: original reads "Antony" -->,” he continued,
-addressing the old priest, “where is your
-godemiche? That’s the thing to draw all the
-<a name="png.065" id="png.065" href="#png.065"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>65<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>wantonness<!-- TN: original reads "wantoness" --> out of her lustful body. It is well
-furnished with good stiff bristles?”<!-- TN: punctuation invisible --></p>
-
-<p><span class="smc">Father Anthony.</span>—“It’s a new one,
-same as we always keep in stock to subdue
-the fleshly lusts of these lascivious female sinners,
-and never used before, but I must tie
-her up.”</p>
-
-<p>The rope, which hung from a pulley in the
-ceiling, was tied tightly round my wrists,
-bringing both hands together; then he pulled
-it as hard as possible till I could barely touch
-the floor with my feet, and all my weight was
-upon my arms and the muscles of my back.</p>
-
-<p>“That’s it, exactly,” chuckled Francisco.
-“Now, my dear Lucille, Lady Ellington I
-ought to say, you will really enjoy the insertion<!-- TN: original reads "inserttion" -->
-of this jolly dildoe up your cunt, and it is
-full of a delightful injection, with which it<!-- TN: original reads "if" -->
-will spend in response to your emission of<!-- TN: original reads "ol" -->
-pleasure.”</p>
-
-<p>“Ah! No! No! Oh pray don’t treat me
-with such brutality,” I screamed, in horror,
-when I saw the huge red-headed thing, with
-<a name="png.066" id="png.066" href="#png.066"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>66<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>its shaft springing from a bed of bristles, fixed
-round the balls so as to prick the cunt at
-every insertion, besides its length and thickness
-seemed quite terrible to contemplate. “I
-am quite content to submit to your penance
-of scourging and whipping, but oh, oh, have
-mercy, and put that thing out of my sight.”</p>
-
-<p><span class="smc">Father Francisco.</span>—“Look, you need
-not be so frightened. I shall lubricate it well
-with perfumed oil to make it enter you easily,
-besides I will put some on your cunt and
-bottom.” Suiting his actions to his word, and
-oiling my privates profusely, especially my
-bottom-hole, which he lubricated till he
-could easily work two fingers in at once.</p>
-
-<p>It was dreadfully disgusting, but still his
-frigging my bottom was rather exciting, and
-he could tell or guess my feelings, as he went
-on to say, “I see you like it, but the dildoe
-will make you plunge and spend with
-delight.”</p>
-
-<p>He then took up my legs; one under each
-arm, and stood between them, so they were
-<a name="png.067" id="png.067" href="#png.067"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>67<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>wide apart, and Father Anthony<!-- TN: original reads "Antony" -->, his face
-plainly showing how he<!-- TN: original reads "ge" --> delighted in the task,
-proceed to force his godemiche<!-- TN: original reads "godemuche" --> into me,
-opening the lips of my cunt with his fingers
-till the head was fairly in, then ruthlessly<!-- TN: original reads "ruthessly" -->
-shove, shove, shove, till, “Ah! Ah! Oh!
-Ah—r—r—r—re!” I screamed in dreadful
-pain, as the sharp bristles ran into the tender
-surroundings of my pussey<!-- TN: original has "pussy", altered for consistency -->. “Ah! Ah! Oh,
-my God!” I screamed plunging and writhing<!-- TN: original reads "writing" -->
-in my agony, his eyes glared into mine with
-a fiendish delight, only equalled by the look
-of his companion, who held my legs like a
-vice, and encouraged him to fuck the wanton
-woman till she had had enough to keep her
-out of adultery<!-- TN: original reads "adultere" --> for a long time to come.</p>
-
-<p>Presently Father Francisco, digging his
-nails into the flesh of my legs, said excitedly,
-“See, see, she’s coming. The gluey spend
-is glistening on your dildoe. Now, now, shoot
-it into her; let her enjoy it!”</p>
-
-<p>In a moment I felt the hot gush of the contents
-of the godemiche. It rather relieved me
-<a name="png.068" id="png.068" href="#png.068"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>68<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>for a moment or two, but oh, oh, my dear,
-even after this long lapse of time, I can never
-forget the agony of that moment. The whole
-of my body seemed filled with liquid fire, for
-they had filled the dildoe with some infernal
-decoction<!-- TN: original reads "decotion" --> on purpose to ruin my health, and
-destroy all chance of my ever enjoying the
-sweets of love again. Such I know was their
-intent, for they taunted me with it at the time;
-but although<!-- TN: original reads "alrhough" --> I never quite recovered from the
-shock to my system, and feel even now that
-it was the original cause of my premature
-decay, they did not succeed in depriving me
-of all sensual desire or feelings for the
-future.</p>
-
-<p>I fainted, but they never let me down, and
-when at last I began to recover consciousness
-Father Francisco was using his scourge most
-unmercifully<!-- TN: original reads "unmercilully" --> on my buttocks, the drawers
-being open, and the naked flesh exposed to
-every cut.</p>
-
-<p>“I thought this would bring her round”,<!-- TN: original reads ",”" -->
-exclaimed he. “See, Father Anthony, her
-<a name="png.069" id="png.069" href="#png.069"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>69<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>eyes are opening, it will soon make her forget
-the dildoe fucking, she did enjoy that, did
-she not, Anthony? But she’ll be a long time
-before she has such pleasure again. Ha! Ha!
-Ha!!! how<!-- TN: original reads "h6w" --> lovely she is getting, see her
-wriggle from the pain of every<!-- TN: original reads "evety" --> cut. Ah, Lucille,
-dear Lady Ellington, what intense delight
-the sight of your agony is to us.”</p>
-
-<p>By this time either he was tired, or he
-thought a little respite would enable me to
-bear more presently, so dropping the scourge
-on the floor he left me still suspended, whilst
-himself and assistant sat down and gloated
-over the sight of my suspended figure and
-blood-stained bottom, with their hands under
-their frocks, and I verily believe now they
-were frigging themselves.</p>
-
-<p>After about ten minutes Father Francisco
-again approached, scourge in hand, whilst the
-elder priest gave me a few drops of cordial,
-and held some pungent salts under my nose to
-refresh me a little. “That will do,” said the
-former, “stand back, Father Anthony<!-- TN: original reads "Antony" -->. Now,
-<a name="png.070" id="png.070" href="#png.070"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>70<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>now, you wicked, wanton, lustful young woman,
-did you wish your husband dead when
-having connexion with Lord Dunwich? Why
-don’t you answer? Were his parts more pleasing
-to your sensuality? Is he better furnished
-than your husband? Speak up; confess all
-your wickedness! Did no sense of shame
-shock you in the midst of your enjoyment
-with that fellow, eh?”</p>
-
-<p>Every question brought a scathing cut with
-it, breaking the weals and drawing fresh blood
-at every stroke, but I really was so ashamed
-I knew not how to answer, and my tongue
-was useless except for moans or cries of pain,
-and notwithstanding all their degrading and
-cruel treatment I felt it was fully deserved
-by me.</p>
-
-<p>“Won’t you speak? won’t you confess
-your sorrow for your sin?” he continued.
-“Are you really so lost to all sense of shame
-as to be hardened against repentance? This
-must be whipped, yes, whipped out of you,
-even if it nearly costs your life!”</p>
-
-<p><a name="png.071" id="png.071" href="#png.071"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>71<span class="ns">]<br
- /></span></span></a>Just then Father Anthony loosed the rope
-a little, so that I could shrink further from the
-blows of the scourge, till I was driven up to
-the wall, where I stood on tiptoe with my
-hands drawn up over my head, and my back
-bending as much as possible to avoid the terrible
-shower of blows with which he was cutting
-up my buttocks still more and more.</p>
-
-<p>Crimson with shame, tears flowing in torrents
-from my starting eyes, I moaned, cried
-and implored for mercy, protesting in a broken
-voice, “That ever since my husband had renewed
-his kindness to me I had been very,
-very sad and ashamed of myself for what I
-had done, and only his former neglect had
-caused me to throw myself into the arms of a
-handsome man to whom I was under great
-obligations for protecting me when I escaped
-from the Ursuline Convent.”<!-- TN: punctuation invisible --></p>
-
-<p>“Ha, then, you are that Lucille who insulted
-Lady Superior, I heard all about it at the
-time!” he went on furiously. “Now you
-shall be punished for that too,” seizing my left
-<a name="png.072" id="png.072" href="#png.072"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>72<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>leg<!-- TN: original reads "eg" --> and lifting it up, so that he could cut freely
-under my thighs, on my sore cunny, and every
-tenderest spot he could think of, whilst old
-Father Anthony was rubbing his hands in delight
-at the sight.</p>
-
-<p>My agony was so intense that I could only
-gasp and sigh, strength I had none, he seemed
-beside himself with rage, but at last dropped
-his scourge, and throwing open his frock in
-front I could feel his rampant pego thrusting
-towards my mount, and am sure he spent on
-my drawers outside before he could get into
-me; this he soon effected, and taking my buttocks
-up in his strong embrace, he fucked furiously,
-swaying me about with my arms still

-motions within me took away all feeling of
-pain, and I believe much as I loathed him and
-felt humiliated by all his dreadful treatment
-that I actually spent copiously when I felt his
-hot sperm shooting into and soothing my
-overheated cunt.</p>
-
-<p>He was so overcome that Father Anthony
-<a name="png.073" id="png.073" href="#png.073"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>73<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>seeing he was about to fall, released me, or
-loosened the rope so that we sank down together
-on the floor, and laid almost motionless
-for a few minutes, till the old priest, taking
-up a scourge, began to whip us both unmercifully,
-and made Francisco get up. This was
-the end for that time, but I was ordered to
-prepare for a final penance in a day or two’s
-time.</p>

-<p>They kept me in the same chamber, where
-I had been so outraged, the two nuns nursing,—bathing
-my bruises, and using soothing injections
-to allay the inflammations of my privates,
-till, on the third day, they said I was so
-far recovered that my Confessors might finish
-the prescribed penance, adding, with a malicious
-smile, “we saw everything last time,
-and so we shall now, through our peepholes;
-<a name="png.075" id="png.075" href="#png.075"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>75<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>how delicious the sight was last time, and we
-had such frigging and dildoe fucks after it was
-all over.”</p>
-
-<p>Having said this, they speedily disappeared
-and I was left to await my fate in trembling
-anxiety; I was hot and cold by turns, as the
-recollection of all the humiliating and painful
-incidents of the other day came back so vividly
-to my mind, and in imagination I seemed to
-suffer all my tortures over again.</p>
-
-<p>This did not last long, although you may
-be sure it seemed long enough to me in my
-state of apprehension. A key was turned in
-the lock, and the door creaked on its hinges;
-my persecuting confessors again stood before
-me in reality, with quite a sardonic expression
-of anticipated pleasure on their faces; no trace
-of pity could I find on either visage, nothing
-but gloating sensuality seemed to animate the
-ardent looks with which they regarded me for
-some moments.</p>
-
-<p>The hateful Francisco was the first to address
-me, a smile of terrible meaning playing
-<a name="png.076" id="png.076" href="#png.076"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>76<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>round his mouth, showing his pearly white
-teeth to such perfection that I was again
-strongly reminded of my husband.</p>
-
-<p>“Lady Ellington, I hope, has had good
-time for reflection upon the heinousness of her
-sins, particularly those in contravention of her
-marriage vows; wantonness is as nothing
-compared to that. What has the penitent
-Lucille to say? Has her chastisement made her
-feel the pangs of real remorse?” he said,
-whisking a scourge before my face.</p>
-
-<p>I was too frightened to speak; face, neck
-and bosom, I could feel, were in a burning
-heat, whilst my eyes could not meet his, for
-something more than shame instinctively told
-me what I might have to suffer at his hands.</p>
-
-<p>“No sign of repentance here, Father
-Anthony; she must be stripped naked at once<!-- TN: original reads "onee" -->.
-Do you hear, Lucille? Strip—strip—strip at
-once, or it will be much the worse for you!”
-he said with rough ferocity.</p>
-
-<p>Both priests helped me to undress, and in
-their impetuous haste almost tore the clothes
-<a name="png.077" id="png.077" href="#png.077"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>77<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>off my back, at the same time taking all sorts
-of disgusting liberties, and keeping me in a
-continued state of confusion, at last when
-nothing was left but my chemise to remove,
-they suddenly tied the rope round<!-- TN: original reads "roond" --> my left
-ancle, and in an instant I found myself suspended
-head downwards, with the right leg
-kicking in the air, and screaming piteously
-for mercy.</p>
-
-<p>“Secure her wrists to the rings in the floor,”
-said Francisco, “and then help me to whip
-the seat of lust till she is a little more
-repentant.”</p>
-
-<p>The elder priest speedily effected this, and
-then both of them with scourges commenced
-to whip me most mercilessly, aiming their
-relentless cuts between my legs so as to cut
-the lips of my cunt and round my bottom-hole
-at every blow; now and then the cruel thongs
-would wind round the upper part of my
-thighs, or on to my mount; my cries were
-heartrending, as each blow seemed<!-- TN: original reads "sermed" --> to re-open
-all my old cuts and bruises. “<!-- TN: punctuation invisible -->Ah! Ah—r—r—re!
-<a name="png.078" id="png.078" href="#png.078"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>78<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>Oh! Oh!! will you never have pity, and
-believe me sorry for my faults?” I screamed
-or moaned, and gasped out the words in
-intense agony.</p>
-
-<p>“So you begin to repent a little under the
-lash, do you, Lucille, are you really sorry for
-having wronged Lord Ellington, is it your
-mind or your cunt that is most filled with remorse?
-How you seem to writhe, and how
-prettily we are making it look for you,
-the trickling blood is delightful to see as it
-flows in drops and rills over your back and
-belly!” His questions were spoken slowly
-as he seemed to enjoy the pleasure of my intense
-suffering, and two or three of his cuts
-were over the tender surface of my belly or
-right across the navel.</p>
-
-<p>“Scream away, you sensual woman, why
-don’t you implore the Holy Virgin to have
-pity and forgive you, we are only carrying
-out her commands, are we not Father
-Francisco?” hissed out old Anthony, as he
-continued to scourge my back and sides, and
-<a name="png.079" id="png.079" href="#png.079"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>79<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>every now and then aimed a fearful blow
-right down my lacerated cunny. Again they
-would stop for a little, and ask me jeeringly,
-“about my feeling of remorse, would I indulge
-in such obscenity with my husband again,
-or keep from adultery in future?”</p>
-
-<p>I was almost too far gone to do more than
-moan, and Father Anthony suggested that I
-ought to be well lashed over my neck, shoulders<!-- TN: original reads "shoulhers" -->,
-and bosom, to make me speak out, but
-the other seeing how exhausted I really was,
-restrained his mad fury, and then after waiting
-a little one of them would give me a terrible
-cut, and ask the other to see the beautiful
-effects of it as I swayed about in agony; this
-was done again and again, till after a time the
-scourges were thrown aside, and the rope
-being lowered I was allowed to lay on the
-floor for a little while, and some cordial was
-again administered to refresh me, my tormentors
-sitting down and frigging themselves
-openly before my face, till in the act of spending
-they would stand over me so that I might
-<a name="png.080" id="png.080" href="#png.080"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>80<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>be thoroughly humiliated by having all their
-spendings drop on my face, neck, or head, as
-I was still secured to the floor by my wrists.</p>
-
-<p>Presently, at a sign from Francisco, his
-companion hoisted me up by the ancle again,
-and did it so tightly that I was frightfully
-stretched by my arms and leg; which were
-drawn as painfully tight as he could make it,
-the fastenings cutting into the flesh so that I
-bear the marks to this very day, I could see
-that Francisco was again preparing his godemiche
-with oil, but he did not put any upon
-my person.</p>
-
-<p>Horrified at the sight, I begged and implored
-them in the most piteous manner not to
-degrade me again with that disgusting instrument,
-promising to pay the Church any amount
-for absolution rather than endure it
-again.</p>
-
-<p>“Too late, too late, your repentance is not
-sincere, besides, the other day we saw with
-our eyes how your lascivious nature responded
-to the thrusts of this thing in your cunt,
-<a name="png.081" id="png.081" href="#png.081"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>81<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>now I am going to degrade your bottom-hole
-by inserting it there, however painful the operation
-may prove,” saying which he seized,
-and held my left leg under his arm, and standing
-close to my body at once proceeded to
-carry out his infernal idea of ravishing my
-anus. Lacerated, bleeding, and sore as my
-bottom was at the least touch, and regardless
-of my piercing shrieks, he forced the oily
-head of the india rubber thing quite into my
-tightly contracted bum-hole, the pain was intense,
-as it seemed to rend the lining tissue of
-the anal canal in its passage, and the bristles
-round its root added, if possible, still more to
-the intensity of my suffering.</p>
-
-<p>I believe, that giving one long shriek of
-agony, I lost consciousness for a time, but
-only to awake and find them<!-- TN: original reads "them them" --> laughing
-and jeering at my sufferings, as the one worked
-his dildoe in my bottom, whilst the other had
-thrust two or three fingers up my blood-stained
-and wounded cunt. It is quite indescribable
-what I felt at this outrage, the accumulation
-<a name="png.082" id="png.082" href="#png.082"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>82<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>of shame, agony and horror so overpowered
-my exhausted nature, that I went off again
-into such a death-like swoon, that they really
-feared I was dead, and made haste to let me
-down as well as apply strong restoratives.</p>
-
-<p>My hands were still retained in the rings on
-the floor, and the godemiche was left sticking
-in my bottom, the spasmodic contractions of
-the sphincter muscle holding it as in a vice,
-whilst the pulsations of the violated passage
-behind were still awfully<!-- TN: original reads "fully aw" --> painful. All this
-was apparent to me as I slowly came to myself
-once more, and could see the excited looks of
-my cruel Confessors, who proceeded to sprinkle
-me with cold water, and use a large sponge
-for the purpose of both refreshing me and allowing
-them to gloat over the extent of my
-hurts.</p>
-
-<p>This lasted a little while, then I was made
-to get up on my hands and knees, facing
-Francisco, who then opened his frock, so as
-to show me the excited state of his prick, at
-the same time, with a malicious look of fiendish
-<a name="png.083" id="png.083" href="#png.083"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>83<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>joy, he asked me, “If I should not like
-to suck such a delightful sweetmeat?” Then
-seeing my look of intense disgust, he burst
-into a rage, saying, “Oh! So you mean to
-insult me as you did the Lady Superior of the
-Ursulines, do you, Lucille? You may think
-I am disgusting and nasty, or I smell strong
-as she did, and I may tell you, to make you
-relish it still more, that scarcely an hour ago
-it was up the strong smelling cunt of that very
-same lady, and I was careful not to wash, so
-that you might have the full benefit of the delicious
-aroma of her spendings.”</p>
-
-<p>Speechless with disgust, and helpless in
-every way, it was useless for me to appeal for
-mercy or consideration from two such heartless
-beings; the only thing I could do was to
-close my eyes to the awful sight.</p>
-
-<p>But only for a moment, a tremendous whack
-from Father Anthony, who had taken up the
-scourge, made me shriek out again, “Ah! Ah!
-Oh! Will you never finish me off, and kill me
-in mercy?” The only answer I had was a
-<a name="png.084" id="png.084" href="#png.084"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>84<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>quick repetition of the blow, whilst the repulsive
-Francisco’s right hand, clutching my hair,
-pulled my head up, and drew it back so painfully,
-that I gasped for breath. This was
-exactly what he wanted, and, in a moment,
-his prick was forced into my mouth. The
-sensation was so repulsive, horrible, and
-choking all at once, that I had not the presence
-of mind to bite, or he would have repented
-the act ever after. Old Anthony was cutting
-my back, bottom, thighs, and loins, even the
-calves of my legs not escaping his frenzied
-scourging. Blood was streaming over my
-flesh, and dripping to the floor in little pools,
-and I felt I was really dying at last. Just then
-the excited Francisco shot a deluge of hot
-sperm into my mouth and throat; I was choked,
-and remember no more, except, that on
-recovering consciousness, the supposed Confessor,
-Francisco, was dressed as a gentleman,
-and I immediately recognised him as my husband,
-as, at the same instant, he exclaimed,
-“Woman, my revenge is complete. You won’t
-<a name="png.085" id="png.085" href="#png.085"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>85<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>deceive me again. How I have revelled in degrading,
-humiliating, and torturing my adulterous
-wife. You’ll never see me more. This
-has been my way of divorcing myself from a
-faithless bitch.”</p>
-
-<p>He was gone before I could find words to
-reply, but my sense of pain was instantly
-drowned in a deep desire for vengeance for
-this outrage, and its impulse so strengthened
-me, that<!-- TN: original reads "hat" --> I was soon well enough to travel.</p>
-
-<p>My lover, Lord Dunwich, received me with
-open arms, and declared he would shoot or
-be shot by the Earl ere forty-eight hours had
-elapsed; at once despatching a friend with his
-cartel to arrange a meeting for the next morning
-in Hyde Park at the dawn of day.</p>
-
-<p>We spent the night together at his hotel,
-although scarcely fourteen days since I was
-so fearfully outraged, how we fucked all
-night, and swam in sensual pleasures for hours,
-I would deny him nothing, was he not my
-champion, who was going to risk his life in
-the morning to avenge my fearful wrongs, and
-<a name="png.086" id="png.086" href="#png.086"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>86<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>to make him still more earnest in<!-- TN: original reads "it" --> his desire
-for vengeance, I stripped naked, let him examine
-every part, where the marks of the bruises
-and lacerations were still visible; my cunt
-he sucked, kissed and fucked till I was beside
-myself with excitement, and he was also ready
-for anything, then my poor bum-hole attracted
-his attention, he kissed and put his tongue
-into it, till I was eager to have him there, and
-begged he would put his<!-- TN: original reads "is" --> prick in gently at first
-for fear of hurting me too much; this
-was a heavenly finish to our night of
-love; we swam in delight, never before or
-since have I tasted voluptuous joy to equal
-that <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">enculade</i>.</p>
-
-<p>Next morning dressed as a young gentleman
-with a false moustache, I went as one of his
-seconds to the fatal place of meeting, and had
-the satisfaction of seeing my wrongs avenged
-by a ball through the heart of my hated husband.
-We then went abroad for a while, but
-my dear lover lost his life by drowning in the
-Rhine, since which I have consoled myself
-<a name="png.087" id="png.087" href="#png.087"><span class="pagenum"><span
- class="ns">[</span>87<span class="ns">]
- </span></span></a>as you know by all sorts of erotic fancies, especially
-flagellation, and now dear Rosa at
-the early age of twenty-five I find myself fast
-fading away.</p>

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of

-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
