The garden party got universally rave reviews. This, of course, caused me great anxiety that Lauren and Jason would plan future such events, possibly including an even larger subset of my former social circle.
In the weeks following the party, I was kept busy fulfilling my obligations to each of the guests based on their service voucher selections. Jason and Lauren provided each guest with a card to rate the quality of my service on a scale from one to 10. Any score below seven would require me to repeat the service. Any score below five would require me to repeat the service as well as submit to punishment by Jason. The recipients of the subpar service would be invited to witness my correction.
All but one of the young female (and one of the young male) members of my old firm punched the hole for housekeeping services. I drove to their homes in my 2003 Subaru, the very one that I had forced Amanda to drive after she sideswiped my Porsche when she was 17. Amanda now drives by former late model Porsche at college. The Subaru has 143,000 miles on it but still gets me around. I dressed in short cut offs and an old T-shirt, carrying one of my working maid uniforms in my duffel bag along with cleaning supplies. These resemble hotel maids' uniforms: blue or gray cotton dresses, with white collars and aprons, worn with flesh toned stockings. When cleaning the mansion, unless being punished, I was permitted to wear flats (Lauren had even recently started to allow me to wear kneepads when scrubbing the floors and bathrooms, as I have knee problems). However, I was required to wear heels when cleaning the homes of the party guests.
I discovered that my former young subordinates were more than happy to take advantage of my powerless situation. Most required me to provide at least one of the other services on the punchcard in addition to what they selected. Penny and Alyson, for example, demanded that I pause my cleaning to massage their feet. One of the young male attorneys had me wash and vacuum his SUV after I cleaned his house (at least I was able to change back into my cut offs and T-shirt as I worked in his driveway). Samantha insisted I clean her bathroom after polishing and organizing her extensive footwear collection. In addition, despite my diligent efforts, all but two of my former employees gave me service ratings of below seven and two gave me below five. The latter included Penny, of course. It was clear to me that she had a sadistic streak and truly got off on seeing me punished by Jason or others. I suppose that they all made the calculation, quite correct, that I was in no position to raise any objections about the added services or unfair ratings. I didn't even try.
For those who selected caddy service (Joe, Forrest, the young, gay male junior partner), I was required to wear my British schoolboy uniform while caddying at my old country club or at a public golf course. As ball boy, if the match was played at my old club or on a public court, I wore a navy blue shirt and shorts similar to the uniform of a Wimbledon ball boy -- humiliating for a 61-year-old, but not overly so. However, after talking with Jason and Amanda, two of the male junior associates opted to play mixed doubles on the secluded court at the mansion. Samantha and Alyson were their doubles partners. On this occasion, I was dressed simply in white tights and a white T-shirt, trying valiantly (but unsuccessfully) to hide my shameful erection as I retrieved balls and fetched towels for my young superiors.
The first day I caddied for Forrest at my old country club was particularly challenging. Forrest played in a foursome with Jason and two of my old clients, including one of those who abandoned me just before Forrest forced me out of the firm (he was able to retain the client as his own.)
When the client -- the general counsel of a large, privately held company -- saw me carrying the bags of my old rival at the firm in my ridiculous schoolboy attire (the stripes of a recent caning still visible on my upper thighs), he laughed and said to me, "I'm not sure what Johnson has on you, Jenkins, but it must be a doozy."
"Yes, sir," I replied, staring at the ground.
While the four gentleman had drinks at the clubhouse after finishing their round, Jason volunteered my services to the country club manager. When I was a member, I had complained to this individual a number of times (rudely, no doubt) about the filthy condition of the golf carts. Perhaps not surprisingly then, I was put under the direction of the high school kid who washed and charged the golf carts. He, of course, recognized me as the former member who got him in trouble and thoroughly enjoyed bossing me around.
"You didn't clean the tires and back of that Club Car well enough. Clean it again."
"Yes, sir, of course," I said, scrubbing the cart with a sponge in the hot sun as Forrest, Jason, and my old clients stared down at me from the hill, where they were sipping their cold glasses of beer and laughing.
A less public, but far more humiliating event also involving Forrest occurred a week later when he and Jane took up my self-defeating suggestion to attend one of my punishment sessions with Jason for mistakes in proofreading Forrest's legal documents. Also in attendance, per her request, was Penny, along with Jason and Lauren, of course. Dressed in one of my formal serving uniforms, I greeted the guests when they arrived and served drinks and snacks. After I made sure they were comfortable in the sitting room, Penny requested that I microwave popcorn for what she described as "the coming show." She bought her current boss, Forrest, a rattan cane (in what I thought of as a real suck up move) and bought her old boss, me, a ridiculous pair of tights, one leg white and the other black.
After I thanked Penny for the thoughtful gift, Jason said, "Jenkins, go change into the new punishment tights Miss Penny has kindly given you and then report back to me. Make sure to bring your punishment lines with you. Chop chop."
Upon returning to the room in my ridiculous tights, I was compelled to kneel before Forrest and present the new cane to him with my palms upturned. After he took it, I handed him my punishment lines ("My incompetence and carelessness know no bounds. Please beat them out of me, sir." 500X).
Jane said, " Forrest, I know you were planning on helping Jason, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you handle all of Jenkins' punishment."
Jason replied, "Be my guest."
Forrest swooshed the cane a few times before resting it against my ass. He then delivered the first of 10 savage strokes. After the sixth one, I reflexively try to shield my bottom with my hands.
Jason said, "Jenkns, if you don't remove your hands, I will beat them next. And then your feet."
Having suffered bastinado for the first time recently after spilling Jason's glass of Pappy Van Winkle, I promptly removed my hands. After Forrest finished, I was ordered to assume my penance position, facing my tormentors. Jane and Penny had huge grins on their faces as they munched their popcorn. Jason smacked my cock and balls lightly with his cane until I grew hard my tights. After 30 minutes, I was permitted to put my serving uniform back on to begin preparing dinner.
The ramifications from the garden party continued for me into the fall and early winter.
