Room 2D

First part of a two part photo-story, from Roué 40 When Daphne Hobbs was appointed Headmistress of Barningham High she immediately encountered something of a problem. For a full twenty-four years prior to her being offered the post, the school — an independent, fee-paying establishment — had been run by two, now retired, spinster sisters. In their wisdom — and not without a little financial pressure, the governors had decided that one woman — providing the person concerned was suitably efficient — would be sufficient to cope with the day-to-day running of the school. So, where there had been two there was now only the one. Of course, Miss Hobbs had done her very best to convince her prospective employers at her interview that she would be able to manage and, indeed, this had proved to be the case… in all but one department. The school’s governors were steadfast believers in the efficaciousness of corporal punishment; Barningham ha...

From Blushes 25 Soft moonlight bathed the gaunt oak-panelled study. It was just after midnight. She had heard the clock in the tower strike twelve as she had left her room.

She felt the warmth of the thick pile carpet against her bare feet, so inviting after the cold polished stone of the hallway. Although she was wearing just a very short thin nightie, she felt very warm. On this stil...

Roy Tersley interviews Gemma. From Februs 46 Let’s start with a little detail of your background. Well, I was brought up in Battersea, I have one brother and a sister. I came from a very nice home. My father was not very strict but I was sent to a very strict school. I probably could’ve done with some discipline at home but I never got it. I did get the slipper a couple of times at school but on the whole I used to get away with murder. What did you do when you left school? I went straight into modelling which I enjoyed very much. I suppose I am a bit of a show off! I like to, you know, be naked in front of people. Anyway I was modelling for quite a while and then, when I was seventeen I met a man who changed my life forever. Sounds intriguing, tell me more. Well, his name was Thomas. He was a real gentleman in the proper sense. He was very aristocratic. He behaved at all times with great decorum. Actually, he looked a lot...
