Beating Time
‘It’s time for your monthly beating, prisoner-slave. 70 strokes of the cane – well laid on! Look down at my boots and socks and beg them for mercy!’
‘Oh pray, officer-mistress Anna’s boots and socks; if it pleases you, officer-mistress Anna madam’s boots and socks; please have mercy on this impotent prisoner at your feet, madams. Oh your power, mistresses! Truly I am humbled and at your mercy, mistresses officer-mistress Anna’s boots and socks! Oh pray have mercy on me! Oh pity pray for a poor prisoner, madams. Please don’t hurt me with your sore cane, mistresses!’
