Lady Hampton-Lessing returns home early from the Hunt Ball. Climbing the staircase to her bedroom, she notices Grice, her Butler, on the landing. She enters her bedroom and shouts a summons to Grice to come to her immediately.
"Grice", she says "I want you to take off my gown". The Butler, deftly removes her ladyships gown.
"Grice, now I want you to remove my corset" Once again, the head manservant does as he his bid.
"Now, the brassiere, my good man" Off comes the most expensive of brassieres.
"You can now remove my stockings, Grice" The garment is removed, as instructed.
"Finally, you may take down my panties" The final item of clothing is removed by the Butler.
"Oh and Grice, don't let me ever catch you wearing them again!"

Grice's face was a picture, beetroot red, it looked like the proverbial smacked arse. He had first started to borrow her ladyship's clothing some eighteenth months back; now he wondered if his little perversion would see him dismissed from 22 years of loyal family service.
"Begging your pardon, my Lady, I promise you won't ever see me dressed like that again. May I go carry out my duties?" He blurted.
"Yes of course, but do borrow some of Charles's trousers before you leave, I would hate the rest of the household seeing you in this state" She answered curtly.
Striding over to the wardrobe, with a little more pace than befits my status, she thought, the good lady scrummaged around and found a pair of her husbands cavalry twill trousers. She was disturbed that her breathing was shallow. A keen gardener and accomplished horsewoman, surely she she was physically fit? Surely she shouldn't be panting to this extent over the incident? Surely?
