Promotion
I've overheard that office-mistress Ms Joanna madam has recently been promoted. I'm not permitted to verbally congratulate her, of course, since speaking to my betters is forbidden, so instead I must show her office boots enhanced respect by kissing them all the more vigorously.
Author's note: No wonder Ms Joanna madam looks unimpressed! This arrogant, office humble-head should be taken out of his hole and whipped! It is not his place to decide how 'vigorously' to kiss-respect the office workers' feet, based on their grade. They are all his betters, whatever their rank. Nor, incidentally, should he be eavesdropping on the office conversations! Perhaps the whip would teach him a valuable lesson in knowing his lowly place?
