Mrs Whippleton summoned me to her room, at the third floor. Clearly it was urgent because she asked me to postpone all the chores I had to do in the house that afternoon.
Nancy, one of the maids who is currently being instructed by me to perform in the house, looked very nervous when she told me that Mrs Whippleton needed my help. When I asked her what was happening, she just blushed and looked away.
Nancy was quite new in the house. She wasn't used to certain "manners" that were practiced in there. So I showed myself sympathetic to her shyness and I let her go attend her chores.
When I reached the third floor, I heard squeals from Mrs Whippleton's bedroom.
It was very likely related with what she needed me to help her with, and even more probable, it was something about another of hundreds of childish devilries the young lady Alice had done. Again.
Miss Alice was without doubt the most bratty, ill-mannered and naughty of the three young ladies in the house. Therefore, she was the most punished and disciplined by Mrs Whippleton. A task that her cousins, Miss Lucy and Miss Violet, consumed by jealousy, childish rivalries and eccentric competitions between them three, took a lustful and evil pleasure to help her with.
This was of course a way of life that only rich people could afford to live. When I was a child and my siblings and I didn't bring home enough money from selling massive logs for the fireplace that were heavier than ourselves, our father would hit our hands with a riveted leather strap and, of course, ration was cut to half at dinner.
That was real level of life.
Every night before going to bed I pray for that devil to be dead, beaten in some dark street by a gang of bandits while drunk, like he was every time.
Mrs Whippleton wasn't strict with her punishments. These spoiled young girls won the bloody lottery with her. It was like being deprived of dessert or getting a slap in the hand, compared to what I had to endure.
Though I must say that as time passed and the young ladies grew, Mrs Whippleton came up with progressively more and more strict and creative punishments for them. I'm sure that she realized quite a long time ago that they were far from being children after they reached the majority. And as the soft lessons for rich accommodated kids weren't effective anymore, she looked for other kinds of punishments, let's say... More adapted to their age.
Still not as hard as the ones I lived back in the day, but quite interesting and even amusing to apply on the young ladies. I must admit that Mrs Whippleton has a lot of imagination and I would be lying if I said that I dont take, as well as the ladies not being punished, great pleasure helping her discipline those three little pests.
Enough with my divagations. I had a mistress to serve.
I knocked the door and opened it.
Mrs Whippleton was in the middle of the room, holding the small riding whip she used when it was "rich-kid-punishing" time. On the left of the room, Miss Lucy and Miss Violet were holding infront of them a luxurious dress, hanging from a perch, making sure it looked like it was in their power, as it was a trophy they had taken from an adversary.
That adversary was Miss Alice.
Miss Alice was in the middle of the room too, almost at the foot of Mrs Whippleton. Lying on the backless veranda. She was nicely and tightly tied to it. Besides, her mischief had to be very naughty this time, because she was left completely naked. Not wearing even her panties or even a collar around her neck. All of her clothes were carefully hung on the hatstand, near the dress her cousins were proudly holding a moment ago.
I could see her fine lingerie set on a special perch that left it displayed like in those fancy shops. Exposed like another trophy in addition to the dress. On the dresser, they had put the little jewelry she was wearing. As if the intention was to leave her as naked as possible.
Watching that scene, I got a bit surprised.
There was something quite unusual.
It had nothing to do with how severe the punishment looked. I helped Mrs Whippleton disciplining the young ladies since a long time ago. That level of creativity was everyday life for me.
It wasn't either the fact that all the buttons of Miss Alice's dress were meticulously undone from the first to the last of them. As if they took all their time to calmly strip Miss Alice from her dress. It was obviously meant to take part of the embarrassment caused to her and the anticipation of the punishment that was to come.
Of course it wasn't either the fact that she was restrained. Mrs Whippleton started to restrain the young ladies when they reached a mature age and the punishing had to get more strict.
Kneeling with their wrists on the headboard of the bed to get a spanking, tied to a tree in the garden while everyone mocked, lying on the floor with feet raised high to whip them, face down on the bed with legs tied stretched to be whipped on the back, the butt and the thighs, tied to a chair to be whipped on the legs, the cheeks and the mouth...
Countless ways of restraining bratty ladies.
And I was certainly not surprised by the extreme nudity they condemned her with.
It was the most common punishment that could be seen lately in the house. It was so common that it wasn't even a punishment in itself anymore. Now it was part of the main punishment. An extra situation added to highly increase the humiliation and, in my opinion, to spice up the lesson.
It's not the same receiving a spanking, just like that, without any preparation or set, than to previously take off from you some of the clothes that soften the spanking or that they simply don't want you to be wearing while you receive a lesson. That way, everyone who is watching can take the time to see the intimacy of your body being exposed. And if that wasn't enough, they can watch you as well receiving a spanking on your naked butt. See the difference? Everything is about managing your resources. The result changes depending on the way you do it.
Before punishing a young lady, Mrs Whippleton stripped her in the four possible ways depending on what she was going to spank or whip:
To her underwear, if the area to punish was unaccessible with the dress.
Only topless, if the area to punish was on the upper body.
Only bottomless, if it was on the lower body.
And finally, if the young lady had done something really bad, she was stripped naked, for which the help of the two lady's cousins was needed. And if that wasn't enough to hold the brat still and undress her, Mrs Whippleton called one or more employees of the house to give her a hand. No matter how much resistance and struggling the young lady opposed, at some point there were so many people pinning her down that she couldn't move an inch. Then Mrs Whippleton and the two other young ladies could take all their time to carefully take off her dress. Besides, if Mrs Whippleton decided so, she would request to keep her pinned down a bit longer, so they could attain to untie her lingerie as well. Clearly something that always satisfied her cousins.
But all of this was routine. It was quite normal for me. I have seen Mrs Whippleton whip and spank the young ladies hundreds of times and I have done it myself other hundreds of times as well.
I have seen her strip them and I had much fun too, stripping them.
I have seen her restrain them and I have myself restrained them in creative and exposing positions.
For spanking, lecturing... Even sometimes for bath time. When a young lady didn't let herself rub properly with the soap. Mrs Whippleton allowed me to tie her spread in the tub, so I could take all my time to calmly apply the soap on her dirty lady parts. At the cost of her intimacy and the unintentional tingles a lady feels, when accidentally stimulated.
Yet there was something that was quite unusual despite all of my experience.
It was the position Miss Alice was tied on.
As I said, she was tied laying on the backless veranda, but I haven't precised how. Normally when a young lady was tied laying on the bed or the veranda, she was face down, so her back, her butt and her thighs were nicely exposed for the spanking or the whipping.
This time, Miss Alice was laying face up on the veranda. Her hands tied to the corners with red ribbons, secured on the legs of the furniture. It was the same disposition for her ankles on the lower side of the veranda. Tied to the corners.
As the veranda was a particularly large piece of furniture, that disposition left her legs a bit widely open. Maybe a bit too much. Miss Alice looked quite indecent with her legs so spread like that. It was a very helpless and suggestive position to tie someone in. If I didn't know Mrs Whippleton, I would have thought that we were going to do something lascivious and lustful to her while she couldn't move. But who am I to judge. Mrs Whippleton knew very well what she was doing when it was about discipline.
I looked again at her white legs. With a nice smooth skin. Due to never having worked in her life.
I was not shocked at all, I was just curious about this new way of restraining. I was actually nicely surprised that Mrs Whippleton decided to add some variety to her punishments. And it was indeed very amusing to see Miss Alice tied like that. With her legs so spread we could see very well her intimacy. Displayed for everyone to see, like one of those traveling spectacles. Quite a comical scene. But that wasn't the explanation. If the idea was to expose her lady parts, the stripping session would have been enough. Mrs Whippleton never does anything without an intention. Then why did she need to keep Miss Alice's legs so spread and still? It surely wasn't to whip her right down on her...
I blushed.
Anyway.
There was a simple way to understand what was the punishment about.
If she had been restrained face up, with her front side exposed, it was because Mrs Whippleton wanted to whipp the areas that were on the front of her body.
