"I have the presents required, pet."
"Oh do you sir? I never asked for anything."
"The main one is in the desk drawer on the left hand side."
"Is it?"
"One is. I have the others in my jacket pocket."
"May I look in your pockets and pretend to be Mae West?"
"No, you may not and do not disturb my papers by going round the desk: lean over it. I'm sure you can reach."
"Yes sir. Oh my!"
"Is something troubling you, pet?"
"I just felt something on my ankle."
"You did?"
"Yes."
"Let me look."
"I think you are already doing more than looking."
"The backs of your knees are lovely to touch."
"You seem to be quite enamoured of them? Fingers and lips make such a nice combination."
"Can you blame me when they are topped by such a deliciously pert behind and such pretty under things?"
"I try not to blame you, though you do provoke me something terrible, sir."
"How did I provoke you now?"
"By placing cold and metallic objects around my ankles and attaching me to your desk."
"They are yours to enjoy."
"I thought I was yours to enjoy?"
"You are. So tell me: how does it feel now."
"It feels constraining."
"Good. Open the drawer while I constrain the other ankle. What do you see?"
"A whip."
"Describe it."
"It is small and scourge like."
"Please continue."
"Well. It has a wooden handle of about 10 inches in length and about 10 lashes."
"Tell me more about the lashes."
"The lashes are of equal, relatively short length and resemble fine leather flails -- like multi-coloured tails."
"I prefer to avoid soap-stiffened cords. It is more traditional."
"Traditional? I like tradition."
"I know and you know that it is traditional to punish naughty ladies who delay in responding to me."
"I didn't delay. I was otherwise engaged."
"And the difference is?"
"Emphasis."
"Well, I shall emphasise the marks on your upper thighs before I am finished."
"Are you contemplating lifting my skirt, sir?"
"I feel you will want to do this when I ask this of you."
"I hope my obedience will clear the air."
"Clear the air of dust? I suppose you do need a bit of a dusting."
"A dusting?"
"Yes. The French for this rather nice instrument of physical punishment can also be translated as a dusting implement apparently."
"A dusting implement?"
"Yes. And I do intend to dust you very thoroughly."
"Do you sir?"
"But I will be using the fouet d'enfant in your hand, rather than any duster."
"I'm sure you will leave my surfaces well polished."
"I'm sure I will too."
"But why the restraints?"
"Because it pleases me to oblige you to spread your legs and keep them spread."
"Is there any particular reason for that, sir?"
"Because I intend to whip you well between your magnificent thighs."
"Oh. I thought the martinet was mainly for the calves?"
"It is also for cunts."
"Am I a cunt, sir?"
"You begin to know your place: a cunt with calves."
"Your education is most instructive. Why I'd never have known I had calves, but for your kind pinching of them when you say the word 'cunt'."
"I think you will find that I was only distracting you to stop that empty hand of yours trespassing in your knickers without permission."
"Will your hands do the honours then?"
"It's the least I can do."
"You can lecture me, while you stroke my clitoris."
"It's a pleasure to oblige you."
"You may indulge in that pleasure for as long as you wish."
"Why thank you, dear lady."
"I do my little best."
"Your little best is wonderful. Now where were we?"
"The application of this fine present was the matter in question sir - oh would you mind rubbing my clitoral bud just a little harder, sir."
"Eh-hem."
"Sorry. Forgive my sauciness."
"I will after you've been well punished."
"To err is human, to punish well is divine?"
"It is."
"And you will use the martinet to punish?"
"You do catch on fast. I did consider a wide selection of high quality single tails and cats; leather, horsehair, fur, and violet wand floggers; restraints and gags before deciding."
"I'm glad you thought carefully and chose wisely."
"I thought you might have thoughts on the matter were I to use a hog slapper of a tomcat."
"I am neither a hog nor a tomcat, thank you, sir."
"And the quirt seemed a little harsh."
"And that would never do, sir?"
"Absolutely not; did you know why the martinet is often applied on the calves?"
"I'm sure you are going to inform me and that the learning will be thoroughly seminal."
"It is applied that way so the disciplined does not have to disrobe that way."
"You will not be wishing me to disrobe then?"
"On the contrary: that is why your hands remain free."
"I rather like your method, sir."
"I rather like your arse."
"You can be so coarse, sir."
"I think your blush gives away how much you like it."
"Sometimes I find it humiliating."
