Name: Mrs. Marsters, housekeeper<br/>Location: The Library: setting Miss Pratt for her punishment (and orgy)<br/>With: Lady Henshaw, Lord Greymore and Miss Pratt (entering as the two are leaving)<br/><br/>Time: 1930, Friday evening, day 1<br/><br/><br/>Mrs. Marsters had little tolerance for … well, anything but even she had to admit, pursing her mouth thoughtfully, that the weekend was starting out fairly well.  Most of the staff knew what was expected and those that didn't would soon find out.  She was rather looking forward to Chloe's introduction as a serving tray, not just a serving<em>maid</em>.  The guests would undoubtedly thoroughly enjoy that, the maid less so, but the housekeeper didn't care about that.  The girl irritated her with her terrible English and it was a servant's place to accept whatever came their way from their betters.<br/><br/><br/>At the moment, however, there was another matter – and a different maid – to be sorted out.  The Lady had summoned her to the library, with a selection of equipment.  The Henshaw's spared no expense in their debauchery, something of which Mrs. Marsters' heartily approved.<br/><br/><br/>“Lady,” the housekeeper said as she came into the library to see Lady Henshaw, as one of the guest left with Alice.  She nodded at the gentlefolk and gave the girl a displeased look.  “I'm given to understand one of the girls was neglectful of her duties?  Alice, was it?”<br/><br/><br/>She understood that Alice needed to attend to Lord Greymore's interests but that wouldn't excuse the girl from her due discipline.  The housekeeper drew an unusual piece of furniture (http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l4shx4NCKg1qc1tj4o1_400.jpg) from along one wall.  A chair that would ensure a vulnerable 'bottoms up' position; the padded bolster would support the unfortunate one and leather along the supports would bind them there. Mrs. Marsters set it down so that when Alice was bound to the spanking bench, her lovely ass would be pointed straight at the doorway – the first thing anyone entering would see.  The restraints would ensure she stayed exactly where she was placed, and spread her thighs so her most intimate areas would be on full display.  “I'm sure she'll be quite sorry by the time the evening is done.”<br/><br/><br/>As an invitation and reminder both, the housekeeper set a cane down beside the spanking bench, where it would wait for Alice's return.
