In Ancient Rome, a lowly Roman footslave washes his pretty mistress's feet, under the watchful eye of her husband!
|
This is a slave under pressure... |
|
...the pressure of doing a good job in gently washing his pretty mistress's feet in front of her husband! |
|
The slave knows only too well the master-sir shan't hesitate to beat him if he fails to please his pretty wife! |
|
And the master-sir himself has very high standards (as the slave knows from having to wash his master's own feet on many occasions!) |
|
Gingerly, and respectfully, the slave soaps his mistress's soft, bare feet in the water |
|
Note the blood stains on his tunic - a reminder to him of previous beatings, should he need any reminding! |
|
It was, presumably, the master-sir who administered those beatings? |
|
I mean, he looks like a man who doesn't suffer slaves gladly! |
|
Whereas the pretty mistress-madam looks so sweet and innocent! |
|
I'll wager she has never wielded a whip across a slave's back? |
|
Then again, you should never judge a book by its cover! |
|
Whoever administers the punishment beatings, this slave would do well to be pleasing to his masters! |
