Maid Emily delivers morning tea to Lady Annabelle; it is tepid stuff, and not Earl Grey, which earns tall, slim dark blond Emily an immediate trip over her lap, while she is still in bed. Emily's maid uniform is very Victorian in detail, except surely the skirt length--"A" line short black skirt, crinoline underneath, little white apron, lace trim, certainly not the Halloween variety we occasionally see. Skirt up, she wears full white panties, stockings, garter belt. Lady A. gets the panties down quickly for a fairly hard handspanking, which we have always found a harbinger of how punishments will be in a movie. Emily is mildly disturbed but subordinate. There is a recognition that spankings are a daily liability in this job.
Emily is dismissed to try again with the tea and a second maid, Chloe, played by Catherine Corbett, enters. She gets a tongue-lashing too, for numerous chore failures. She is going over Lady A's lap also and does a wonderful job of expressing displeasure on hearing the news, feeling she is too experiences and senior to be treated this way. "You know the position by now." Hard smacks on white panties, then on the bare. Ms. Corbett has a few bruises from a previous event.
Someone drops something on the set and even Ms. Corbett looks up from her OTK posture to see the cause. But continuity is essential when reddening a bottom, can't start over and can't reset, so keep rolling.]
Later in the day, outside on the veranda. Equestrian-outfitted Lady A. is furious--her horse wasn't ready. She is on the warpath with her riding crop. [a rooster crows, LOUD]. Both maids are summoned. Emily is sent to get the "red strap"; Chloe frowns, having experience with this strap.
Both girls bend over the wall, their elegant skirts thrown up, white panties and garter belts on display, with a background of the rolling spacious estate grounds. "You will each receive twenty-four strokes and I want you to count them." Lady A. ceremoniously bares both bottoms. Chloe is first and resists counting, earning a "start-over." Hard strapping, alternating bottoms, elicts gasps and squeals [barnyard geese squawk, birds twitter, and an airplane flyover, otherwise excellent handling of exterior scene issues] Ms Corbett as Chloe sobs realistically. Emily earns extras for rubbing without permission.
The two sore bottoms are sent off for the day's duties, but there will be another confrontation that evening.
In the evening, the girls report to Lady Annabelle, who finds their appearance a disgrace, thereby manufacturing a third spanking for the day, but this time the cane. Emily bends over the coffee table, Chloe fetches the cane and presents it like the palace crown on a pillow. Lady A. takes Emily's panties down with ceremony. "You're going to receive twenty-four strokes. Count!"
The first 18 strokes in this bend-over position are harder than any of the spanking or strapping. Excellent oblique closeups. Emily rocks between strokes in pain. [a rooster crows]. Chloe watches in the background. Some blood is actually drawn on stroke 16. To complete her session, Emily lies full length on the coffee table, a posture more common in Russian or Czech punishment, for the final 6 and 2 extras. Very entertaining, and notches above her previous spankings.
Emily's bare bottom is positioned in the background. Chloe is next. "Are you ready?" Because she is senior, "You will receive just twelve." She bends over, and after 8 strokes Lady Annabelle discovers Chloe is wearing a wristwatch she thought she had misplaced. This means more with the cane, good news for us, because we knew Ms. Corbett could surely have taken more than 12.
The caning continues. 3 more, then a rubbing break. Then another dozen. White weals and marks are evident. Chloe is crying again. When she rubs without permission, it's onto the table, for another 7. Solid, convincing stuff. Both girls go on parade--kneel bare bottom and sniffling on the couch for inspection. Lady Annabelle is proud of herself. "Am I looking at loyal employees?" "Yes, Miss."
