Paula’s Puzzle Picture 7 — While the Cat’s Away

From Fessée 9

Letters from Fessée 10

This picture could easily be misinterpreted, the nude young woman gives the best clue, the naughty, aristocratic look on her face, can she really be the maid? No she certainly is not, she is Lady Annabel Fanshawe the daughter of the house who is having daily lesbian sex sessions with the more than willing kitchen-maid Elsie who is standing in the doorway, wide-eyed, half in horror and half enjoying her lesbian lover’s painful plight.

His Lordship and Her Ladyship, who were away for a month’s grouse shooting, would have been horrified if they’d known of their daughter’s daily lesbian ‘nooky’ sessions with — of all people — the kitchen-maid, but of course the servants all knew about it and blackmailed Lady Annabel into the ultimate humiliation of being a helpless plaything in the hands of, what she considered, those unspeakable, low, beastly, social inferiors.

Nude, wearing only Elsie’s kitchen-maid’s cap she is forced to kneel and polish the butler’s boots while the fat old cook eagerly lashes her creamy white bottom with Lady Annabel’s own riding-crop, while the butler finishes off the bottle of port he has made Lady Annabel buy for him. When the bottle is empty, he will have the very great pleasure of thrashing her already well-striped, oh-so-inviting bottom with his cruel cane.

Sometimes a servant’s life could be very enjoyable in Victorian times.
