t Mademoiselle Rosalie had not completed her French
exercises to her satisfaction, and as she could not allow idleness and
carelessness to exist in her establishment, she would be birched in the
presence of the whole school after luncheon.

Ethel stared in amazement, but Minette lovingly placed her arm round
her waist and whispered, "It is the custom here, but you will soon get
used to it, and even enjoy the sight."

According, before the commencement of afternoon studies, Madame Cul
entered the schoolroom, followed by two well-formed but muscular and
strong housemaids, and when all were assembled, said, "Mademoiselle
Rosalie, come here and take off everything except your chemise, shoes

Madame, do pray punish me in private as you did at first. Ah, no, no! I
can't bear the shame of their all seeing my poor naked bottom."

"Silly girl, hold that whimpering noise, you deserve all this disgrace,
did I not tell you how I would punish you before the whole school next
time?" said Madame, evidently with some excitement, as she opened the
girl's drawers behind, and pinned up the tail of her chemise with all
the rest of the impedimenta round the victim's waist, till at last they
had a very fair view of Rosalie's lovely little pink-lipped cunt, upon
which the incipient growth of soft down was only just beginning to be
perceptible, and a
