r's. The sight awakened every lustful feeling within
me. I felt I must possess her, and determined to brave the severest
infliction she could give me with the rod. I somehow, instinctively,
arrived at the conclusion that this extraordinary profusion of hair
could only grow where nature had implanted the hottest animal passions,
and had but to greatly excite them to turn their lust to my advantage.
I determined that to-morrow I should bring things to a crisis, and that
I might be equal to every effort I went to my bed, and did not attempt
to steal up to my sisters' room. Next day nothing could be made of me
in the morning; Miss Frankland sternly warned me that if such conduct
was pursued after dinner nothing should save my skin from a severe
scourging. However, my mind was made up, and I went in "for the whole
hog," as our vulgar Yankee cousins say. I was more idle and
insubordinate than ever. Miss F. looked thunder; at four o'clock she
ordered me to stay, and the girls to go. She then locked the door, took

I felt I must submit, but when brought to this point I really so much
dreaded her that there was not the slightest erection in poor cockey.

While I was undoing my trousers, I observed that Miss Frankland had
quite lifted up her outer frock, and had sat down, evidently intending
to flog me across her knee. Both being ready, she told me to put the
footstool by her side and kneel upon it, then desiring me to bend
forward over her knees she put one hand over my body to hold me down;
then uncovering my bottom, and taking the rod, which was by her side,
she raised her arm and gave me a fearful cut, which made me not only
flinch, but cry out most lustily. Blow followed blow, causing at first
great agony, that made me cry again in good earnest; then the very
