Editor's Note:
This is the sixth and last chapter of the parts expunged from the published Gulliver's Travels relating to Brobdingnag.
---
The Queen pays a visit to her newly appointed sister. The Lady Petrova is left in no doubt that she will be a junior sister, and sister in name only. There is a royal spy in the Lady's Petrova's household. My attendance is demanded by the Queen. I am confined in the transparent dildo for a practical demonstration of the Lady Petrova's secondary status. Griselda succours me from a life-threatening situation. The Queen announces that Glumdalclitch has returned to court. Her Majesty commands my return to Glumdalclitch's care, with which the narrative previously published resumes and these expunged parts end.

Some of the account of this fateful day was beyond my ability to witness and recount as will become apparent. I am grateful to the Lady Petrova and her principal maid Griselda for apprising me of events that I could not have recorded without their account.
Shortly after I had completed my morning ablutions I was much alarmed by the noise of many Brobdingnagian feet rushing hither and thither. The commotion was so great that I sensed it almost like an earthquake shaking my abode.
Griselda entered the room stealthily even though to me her cautious footsteps sounded like distant thunder.
"Shh!" she said in a voice loud enough to wake any dead human, "If you value your life make not a sound."
I complied although I have to use my quarterdeck voice to make any Brobdingnagian hear me at all.
Griselda informed me that I should be confined yet again in that infernal contraption that was the transparent corset. That device was almost invisible to their eyes but held me captive. As soon as she had fastened it around me and affixed the gyves to my wrists she silenced me with the transparent gag.
She wrapped me in a soft lace handkerchief before concealing me in the breast pocket of her formal apron. As before, a finger of a lace glove was present in the pocket which she could put on my head to enable me to remain concealed but able to see. However the slit previously present had been enlarged into an internal pocket
This time the glove finger was not used. Griselda pushed me deep into the internal pocket between the cleft of her massive breasts. She fastened the mouth of the outer pocket tight with its ribbon drawstring.
"You should be safe there," she whispered again in her loud voice, "and I hope I can protect you. If I can't, no one can."
As she finished that utterance she walked swiftly from the room. Unable to see anything through the white material of her apron and buffeted by her massive globes either side of my carapaced body I had no notion of where she might be taking me.
The sounds of clattering pans, much louder than the bells of a great English cathedral, announced our arrival in the kitchen. I felt Griselda unfasten and remove her apron and then I was swiftly transported, still imprisoned in the apron's pocket, to another.
"Amelia! Put this on!" Griselda ordered briskly. "Be very careful! He's in the pocket."
I was pressed against Amelia's bosom. Even through the material I could distinguish two things, one pleasant, one not so. Amelia's breasts were softer and more yielding than Griselda's. Amelia was not so fastidious in her personal ablutions as Griselda and certainly not as sweet smelling as the Lady Petrova.
During the next half hour my cloth prison swung violently as Amelia worked. It was apparent that she was engaged in frantic activity. From the conversation between Amelia and the other workers in the kitchen I gathered that the Queen had arrived unannounced to visit her new "sister" Princess Petrova and that was the cause of the frantic activities within the household.
While I was being buffeted by Amelia's breasts the Queen was expressing her displeasure very forcefully to the new Princess Petrova. Although Petrova was one of her Majesty's closest friends, the Queen was not amused by the King's decision to raise Petrova to the status of Princess and Royal "sister". Apparently the King had suffered the Queen's anger during the night and now Princess Petrova's was the object of the Queen's fury.
The Queen had arrived with six of her Ladies-in-Waiting while Princess Petrova was accompanied only by Griselda. At a sign from the Queen, Griselda had been seized, confined in one of the infernal corsets, gagged and bound to a chair. When Princess Petrova ventured a mild protest at this summary treatment she was similarly immobilised.
Gagged and impotent, Princess Petrova had endured a tirade of recriminations. She was accused of seducing the King from his consort and suspected of other equally unfounded activities against the Queen. Eventually her tears persuaded the Queen that she was at least repentant and Petrova's gag was removed.
Petrova managed to convince her Majesty that she was still her Majesty's devoted servant who had not sought the new title or honour that had been totally unexpected. The Queen began to abate her anger but insisted that Princess Petrova, the "princess" being voiced almost as a term of abuse, should be made well aware of her subservient status.
