The public socks slavey must serve his customers’ socks in
any ways they see fit. Some suggestions are written on the wall next to where
he must permanently kneel.
Here we see him performing a routine function – that of straightening
a customer’s socktops.
|
'Straighten my socktops, socks slavey. Smooth out all the creases in my socks.' |
|
'Yes, mistress madam. At once, mistress madam.' |
|
The slave gingerly, and respectfully, touches his customer's left sock with his bony old, slave fingers |
|
He realises it is a great honour for a slave to be permitted to touch a master's sock! |
|
He makes sure to look only at the sock |
|
He has no business looking above the sock |
|
And besides, he must, by Law, study the sock-creases he has been ordered to fix |
|
Meanwhile, the wearer of the socks looks down on him disparagingly |
|
And rightly so - for right now he is the SLAVE of her socks. A mere SOCKS SLAVEY! |
