Lady Arabella Cornwell clearly knew who the boss was now. Agnes excelled at keeping a submissive on her toes.
Lady Cornwell could barely control her excitement. She continually felt the need for carnal pleasure and submission. The aphrodisiac that N'Dula had applied to her pussy didn't show any signs of abating.
Her domina had taken care to reinforce a multitude of rules and related punishments to keep the submissive heiress on her best behaviour. Each infraction resulted in a specific correction, further bending Lady Cornwell's mind and body to her current owner's whims.
Above Arabella's bed was a list of the most important points:
-Dirty girls do not wear shoes
-Dirty girls do not sit on furniture
-Dirty girls do not wear any clothing in the summer house
-Dirty girls refer to their superior as Ma'am
-Dirty girls do as they are told
-Dirty girls accept their punishments without question
-Dirty girls are not allowed to wear knickers
Agnes kept an exercise book with the title "Protocols for the slave girl", comprising a lengthy list of rules which went well beyond the list above Arabella's bed. It was hard to keep up with, as the list grew longer each day according to Agnes' whims. Another exercise book was used as a ledger, listing each transgression that had occurred, and the punishment that had been administered.
Desperately trying to keep up with the list of mandates kept Arabella's mind focused on submitting to her domina. Combined with the lingering effects of the aphrodisiac, Lady Cornwell was perpetually excited and eager for release.
The submissive Lady of the House never managed to go more than a morning or an afternoon without being pulled up for some transgression or other. Each time she misbehaved she would be ordered to run over to the summer house and strip naked. She would then wait to receive the paddle, the cane, the strap or whichever other implement was proscribed in Shirley's notebook.
After punishment, she was obliged to fill out the ledger detailing her transgression and correction. Shirley delighted in having Arabella stand naked in the summer house and read out sections of the ledger aloud for her own amusement, and for her slave's embarrassment.

Agnes sat in a chair in the sitting room and read the telegram. She was now in the habit of reading Arabella's personal correspondence.
The Lady of the House lay on her stomach on the floor, propped up on her elbows. She had recently been corrected, as evidenced by her bruised bottom, which made it painful for her to sit up.
"Your friend, N'Dula, has responded," said Agnes, smiling. "I wonder if she's ready to collar you?"
Arabella blushed and looked at the floor.

An envelope had been received a week before. In the package were the photographs that had been taken of Arabella naked, pleasuring herself outdoors in a field, on her way back from meeting N'Dula in London. The aphrodisiac took her over on the journey home, and she stopped to assuage the fires burning between her thighs. Unbeknownst to her, a photographer had been watching, and saw Arabella's addled mind submitting to what was going on in her pussy.
Shirley and Lady Cornwell had already seen the photographs being distributed in some of the seedy establishments they had visited during their trip to London, but it was hoped that nobody would join the dots and realise that Arabella was the girl in the pictures.
Local knowledge of this would be catastrophic for Arabella. Her late husband had left firm mandates regarding her behaviour and religious adherence in his will. If she did not follow these strictures to the letter, showing herself to be pious and pure, then her inheritance would instead go to the Lord Cornwell Missionary Society.
With the pictures was a letter, stating that the pictures would be sent to the Missionary Society if a large blackmail was not paid. Far more than Arabella could currently get her hands on.
Neither friends nor the bank would loan the money in the short term without a solid plan. Lady Cornwell was unable to even state why she needed the money.
The last resort was N'Dula.
Arabella had learnt during the afternoon with her African friend at the Massage Rooms in London that she had the resources to see off criminal elements that threatened her friends.
The price she had levied on Lady Cornwell's friend Ursula was slavery in Natawe for an unspecified period of time. Although she certainly wanted to persuade N'Dula to come up with a different arrangement, the idea of being stripped and collared titillated Arabella greatly.
Shirley was amused by the idea of Arabella's enslavement also. She had been leashing and disciplining the Lady of the House in their roleplay.
N'Dula seemed like she was capable of getting Arabella running around Africa in her birthday suit as a slave girl. Whatever came out of the meeting, Shirley was sure it would involve humiliation for her little pet.

N'Dula's car moved quickly along the Cotswold roads towards Lady Cornwell's Manor House.
Since the enslavement of Penelope just over a year ago, and the loan of Miss Latton's person to the Royal Palace, N'Dula had received a good deal of Patronage from Queen N'Zana.
She had been tasked with undertaking undercover gathering of information, both in England and Natawe. N'Dula knew how the British upper classes functioned, and so she was blessed with a good deal of finance and other support to pursue her country's goals.
One of her skills was recruitment of operatives for the clandestine schemes she engaged in.
N'Dula found a most elegant way of recruiting operatives. Most of her school friends at Cheltenham Ladies College, the exclusive British private school that she attended, were getting themselves into the most hopeless circumstances.
The roaring twenties brought new freedoms to wealthy young women, but this liberty often brought risks. Many of N'Dula's old classmates had ended up being destitute or blackmailed, or in desolate marriages.
All of her classmates had had a crush on the beautiful African woman, and she had plucked the cherry of many of these girls, so they were always keen to meet up if N'Dula gave them a call.
She was able to fix certain pressing issues for them, but at a price.
Sign themselves over to N'Dula in a contract of slavery, with the promise of freedom after successful completion of an assignment.
All she'd had to do was to apply the aphrodisiac oil to Arabella, and then have her photographer follow the young aristocrat home. Recruitment of this new operative was going to be easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Arabella saw N'Dula arrive in her car, driven by her chauffeur. The Lady of the House ran outside to greet her. As N'Dula stepped out of the car and onto the gravel they hugged tightly.
"It's wonderful to see you, N'Dula," gushed Arabella. "How was your journey?"
"It was splendid, my little slave girl," laughed N'Dula, looking into Arabella's eyes and holding her hands. "We had glorious weather for the entire journey."
Arabella led them through the grounds. N'Dula was confused by the fact that Arabella was greeting the guests, rather than her maid. She was also barefoot, struggling a little to walk on the gravel.
They walked through the gardens to the summer house, where Shirley was sitting reading a magazine. She stood up as N'Dula entered.
"It's so nice to meet you, N'Dula!" said Shirley. "Arabella, go and bring the tea in for our guests."
Arabella hurried off. This was indeed confusing. The lady of the house running around after the guests, while the maid was relaxing?
Arabella brought the tea tray in and put it down on the table.
"Get your things off, you dirty girl," ordered Shirley.
Arabella looked flustered for a moment, but knew that this moment was inevitable. She undid the strap on her dress, letting it slip to the floor, and stood completely nude. Bare and blushing beet red with shame. She wriggled her hips and showed a helpless smile.
N'Dula grinned, and understood exactly what was going on. The aphrodisiac was still working its magic, and Shirley had clearly used this as an opportunity for some mischief and amusement.
They sat down and the nude girl began to pour the tea and hand it to the guests. Eventually the slave was given permission to sit, so she kneeled down on the floor.
******
N'Dula noticed the bruising on Arabella's bottom as she poured more tea for the guests.
"I spank her every morning, you know," volunteered Shirley. "It seems to work wonders for her disposition. She doesn't give me that grumpy look any more."
Arabella looked down, trying to avoid everybody's eyes.
"A sensible idea," replied N'Dula, lightly patting the nude girl's backside. "She looks like she responds well to correction."
"I'm thinking about getting a collar made for her as well."
It had only been about twenty minutes, and Arabella had already been demoted to the role of slave girl, naked for all to see.
Eventually, after further teasing Arabella for the best part of an hour, they got down to business.
******
"The deal is the deal," said N'Dula. "You can either take it or leave it."
Arabella looked helpless.
