I want to tell you about our man-servant, "Harry the Horse-Cock." That's just what I called him, actually I didn't call him that, nobody did, anyone who met him was a little intimidated by him. But it's what I thought about him in my head, especially after I saw his giant cock. When he first attempted to shove that mutant hose into my mouth, I thought that my throat was going to be swabbed-out by a living, thrusting telephone pole. But more about that later.
I was raised at a time in this country when the Deep South was a place of fading refinement and sedate calm. Cavaliers of the Old Guard were immortalized in family portraits, and elegant ladies sat on downy pillows behind ruffles and palmetto fans. Ofcourse that's not where I lived. I was born in hectic, always-changing New York City. My family did the best that they could with their meager savings, to keep me sheltered from wickedness and grounded in the moralistic and religious customs of an earlier age. I was educated in church schools and sent to a private academy for young women and finally a private university where no men were enrolled.
All that they managed to accomplish for their troubles, despite their best intentions was to raise a hot-house flower who didn't quite have a niche in this world. My name is Carolina, but most people call me Lena. I met my future husband after college when I interned at his law firm. He was a generation older than me, but cut a dashing figure in his custom suits and knew how to communicate with anyone. I was smitten with his mastery of his profession and quite taken with his 19th Century panache.
To make a long story short, since my parents had emptied their accounts to help me become an attorney and to find me a suitable husband, they felt that an arrangement of marriage to this elderly gentleman, who was a partner in the firm, would enhance the process that they had begun. I was swiftly removed to his ancestral home along the Southeastern seaboard and we skipped through a whirlwind wedding. I was ensconced in an aging antebellum plantation where I believed I would live like Scarlett O'Hara in "the land of cotton." That's where I was introduced to Sir Harry.
My new husband Richard apparently had been in ill-health for years. He tried to hide the disabling symptoms for the sake of his practice and was too vain to see a doctor for what he understood to be bad news. Richard hung out his shingle at the firm's southern branch and we made our new home in his oak and moss-lined, colonial estate. He started to deteriorate quickly but was able to work from home and I helped him to prepare briefs and with correspondence. We didn't entertain much, and acres of property separated us from our neighbors. Richard mostly sat on the veranda reading until he tired, and maneuvered around the manicured grounds in a wheel-chair. At first he only needed minimal care and a major assortment of medications. It lingered on until gradually growing worse.
I could tend to most of his needs and for the heavy stuff, we had Sir Harry. I was never really accepted into this stuffy, old magnolia society, especially as a female lawyer. This was a culture slow to accept emancipation of any sort and convention said that a person should know his/her place. Despite my husbands efforts at pushing business my way, no corporation took me on, and his stately friends would only engage my services when they wanted to swindle some poor shop-keeper from his holdings or to demonstrate to the city that they had a heart, by endowing a wing to a hospital (and sugar-coating the tax deductions.) So I became a veritable "Lady in Waiting," in a worn-out home in a dying age.
And when I went to town the reception was just as chilly. The resident Southern Belles looked down their sharp noses at every facet of my being from New York accent to libertine (for the times,) casualness. At a time when having alabaster skin was a sign of breeding and wealth, I had a freckled tan and sun-streaked red highlights in my long chestnut hair. Polite women still wore crinolines and velvets in the warmest weather and seemed never to perspire. The snootiest of them had chaperones who shadowed them with silk parasols when strolling was called for, or liveried carriages when their dainty slippered feet grew weary.
From my northern upbringing and middle class station, I was used to roughing it. I could often be found traipsing the sidewalks in shorts, bare-legged and wearing light, frilly tops. Or sometimes I wore cottony summer dresses that were sleeveless and showed a hint of freckly cleavage. I was not big-chested or voluptuously rounded, few women were back then. Heavy women had large tits and small women were practically flat-chested. Breast enhancement was unheard-of in this genteel society and even a hint of a visible bustline or a muscled calf in heels, was scandalous. And there was nothing worse than scandal.
Well, I had nice legs and they showed. My cup size was a "B" but after a few years of rich, gravy-soaked meals and a few additional pounds to the rounded edges of my anatomy, I sported a bouncy "C" cup, that jiggled enticingly when I wished to be noticed. The other ladies sneered and muttered to each other behind their hasty fluttering fans. But they were forced to smile cattily and make small talk due to my elevated marital status.
The men smirked and whispered their horny little remarks while fawning over me in public. But I saw early on where I would place in this old world caste. In some ways I was fortunate on account of a good marriage, or sometimes because the well-dressed, well built gentleman walking just behind me cast a wide shadow on the crowd. At other times it seemed I was invisible, just a walking cunt with a pair of tits.
Maybe now is a good time to introduce "Jeeves," yet another name that I didn't dare to mention outloud. There was an old song, "I'm Just Wild About Harry," well I wasn't then and I'm not now, and when he's dead and buried, I'll dance on his stinking grave! When I was first introduced by my husband to our house butler, I thought that he was calling him some unusual European name that I did not quite understand, (Cerheri, Sirrarri, etc.) I presumed he was some stuffy British prick, trained to be a snippy servant but assumed by breeding, that he was better than all of us Americans. It turns-out that Richard was using the mock title "Sir" infront of his nickname, Harry. That probably helped lead to my fearful intimidation.
