layed all her attractions, and when by kisses and caresses
and lascivious touches I had again roused her desires for a repetition
of the encounter, I made the agreed-on signal to Frank. He immediately
responded by pushing down some article of furniture. Laura started up,
exclaiming, "Good heavens, what is that? Can anyone be there?"

I jumped out of the bed and seized a pistol which was lying on the
dressing table and opened the door saying I would take good care to
silence any intruder so that he should never be able to tell upon us.
On opening the door and disclosing Frank, I exclaimed, "So it is you,
Master Peeping Tom. Well, it is lucky it is only you, for anyone else
would have had a good chance of having a bullet through his head. But I
shall deal somewhat differently with you. Don't suppose, however, you

any extremities I said, "Now, Laura, you must assist me to punish this
young rogue properly."

I then gave her the rod, and sitting down on the side of the bed, I
placed him across my knees and turned up his beautiful posteriors to
her. She instantly entered into the sport and gave him two or three
cuts with the birch which, though not very severe, were quite
sufficient to give him an excuse for tossing his legs about and
exhibiting all his charms in the most voluptuous manner possible, in
which I gave him every assistance in my power. After this p
