Shopping Trip
The household porch footslave shows respect for his mistress as she returns home from a shopping trip. Note how he studies her sock as he kisses her pretty, outstretched ballet-flat, looking for any signs of sweat. And rightly so – for his mistress’s socks are very much his business, being a porch footslave. Indeed, her socks and shoes are his only business, though for that very reason he is dying to know whether she has bought any new shoes or socks whilst she was out shopping.
