Chapter IV.

_The Penance_

Two nuns supplied me with refreshment, made me up a bed on the floor,

and I really had nothing to complain of as to treatment that first

night, still, something seemed to assure me that I really was a

prisoner, and should not so easily get out of the convent. My hope

was, that the Earl would speedily insist upon my speedy release,

(little dreaming at the moment that he was the instigator of my

detention, and had actually acted as confessor in the assumed name of

Father Francisco.)

My anxiety was greatly increased the next day, when hour after hour

passed, and still no communication from the Confessor or Superior, the

nuns who brought me in breakfast and dinner were silent to all my

enquiries or offers of bribes if they would help me get out of the

place.

My watch had stopped for want of a key, but about seven o’clock in the

evening, as near as I could guess, the old priest opened the door, and

beckoned me to follow him. My heart suddenly recovered its courage,

and I braced up my nerves to bear the severest penance; we passed

along several passages, and at last opening a door, he motioned me to

enter. There, sitting before a small table, which had a bible and

crucifix upon it, sat a rather young priest, about the same age as my

husband, but with a close shaven face and crown (the Earl had heavy

whiskers and moustache, I had never seen him otherwise), and he

struck me as being very like Francis about the nose and eyes, still,

no suspicion that it could really be him came into my mind.

“Daughter Lucille, Lady Ellington,” said the seated Confessor, as the

other locked the door behind me, “In answer to prayer, the Holy Mother

has inspired us to grant you absolution, only after the most severe

personal chastisement and humiliations we can possibly inflict upon

you. Then, you will return to your confiding loving husband, purified

of your adulterous sins, but for all that, he will still, and for the

rest of his life, wear the horns of a cuckolded husband, which is his

punishment for teaching you such lascivious ideas; it is an awful sin

to so abandon yourselves to lust, and your unfaithfulness is the

providential punishment he so well deserves.”

My face and neck were suffused with the blushes of burning shame, as

my eyes fell beneath his ardent gaze, besides something instinctively

told me that both Father Francisco and his coadjutor were enjoying the

sight of my confusion.

“Now please divest yourself of everything you have on, except corset,

chemise and drawers, whilst I prepare this scourger for the

chastisement of your wicked sensual flesh, and my brother here will

get that rope in order, ready to tie up your hands above your head.”

I scarcely knew how I got my dress and skirts off, as my hands

trembled so, and the idea of stripping before two men, even if they

were priests, was so distressing to my sense of modesty, but, somehow

or other, I was soon standing up, with my skirts on the floor, about

my heels, and my last under petticoat tucked up under my corset.

Father Francisco confronted me, scourge in hand, and pointing with his

finger to my drawers in front, roughly ordered me to open them, and

show where I had admitted my lover, when in the act of committing

adultery.

“Open it, you wicked woman. I must see the seat of lust itself!”

He flourished his scourge so, and gave me two such terrible cuts round

my buttocks, that I was compelled to obey his immodest and shameful

order, and the moment I had done so, he produced a pair of scissors

and denuded me of nearly all the dark, silky chevelure I took such

delight in viewing in the glass, when ever I dressed myself, or just

got out of my morning bath.

“I suppose you were so excited and wanton, when Lord Dunwich embraced

you, that you shewed him everything, even your nakedness, as the Bible

calls it; did you blush then, as you pretend to do now, Lucille?” he

asked.

My surprise and indignation almost choked me, so that I was unable to

speak, and he gave me a heavy slap with his hand on my bottom, saying,

“So you will not answer, and think I am behaving shamefully, do you?

It’s nothing to what you will have to submit to presently, Lady

Ellington; turn round and open your legs, and stoop forward this

instant, or I will flog the very life out of you!”

His rude hand was passed under my bottom, between my legs, and as I

covered my face with my hands, I could feel his fingers invade every

secret spot in turn, even to forcing a digit up the fundamental

orifice, which is always so tight and difficult of entrance, saying,

as he did so: “Did you let him go there, or has your husband ever

sodomised your bum-hole? Ha! Ha! How modest we are now. Speak; say if

you ever allowed any one to put his prick in your arse?”

I cannot recollect all he said or questioned me about, but his words

and actions were every moment more and more coarse and obscene, on

purpose to add to my humiliation.

“Here, Father Anthony,” he continued, addressing the old priest,

“where is your godemiche? That’s the thing to draw all the wantonness

out of her lustful body. It is well furnished with good stiff

bristles?”

Father Anthony.—“It’s a new one, same as we always keep in stock to

subdue the fleshly lusts of these lascivious female sinners, and never

used before, but I must tie her up.”

The rope, which hung from a pulley in the ceiling, was tied tightly

round my wrists, bringing both hands together; then he pulled it as

hard as possible till I could barely touch the floor with my feet, and

all my weight was upon my arms and the muscles of my back.

“That’s it, exactly,” chuckled Francisco. “Now, my dear Lucille, Lady

Ellington I ought to say, you will really enjoy the insertion of this

jolly dildoe up your cunt, and it is full of a delightful injection,

with which it will spend in response to your emission of pleasure.”

“Ah! No! No! Oh pray don’t treat me with such brutality,” I screamed,

in horror, when I saw the huge red-headed thing, with its shaft

springing from a bed of bristles, fixed round the balls so as to prick

the cunt at every insertion, besides its length and thickness seemed

quite terrible to contemplate. “I am quite content to submit to your

penance of scourging and whipping, but oh, oh, have mercy, and put

that thing out of my sight.”

Father Francisco.—“Look, you need not be so frightened. I shall

lubricate it well with perfumed oil to make it enter you easily,

besides I will put some on your cunt and bottom.” Suiting his actions

to his word, and oiling my privates profusely, especially my

bottom-hole, which he lubricated till he could easily work two fingers

in at once.

It was dreadfully disgusting, but still his frigging my bottom was

rather exciting, and he could tell or guess my feelings, as he went on

to say, “I see you like it, but the dildoe will make you plunge and

spend with delight.”

He then took up my legs; one under each arm, and stood between them,

so they were wide apart, and Father Anthony, his face plainly showing

how he delighted in the task, proceed to force his godemiche into me,

opening the lips of my cunt with his fingers till the head was fairly

in, then ruthlessly shove, shove, shove, till, “Ah! Ah! Oh!

Ah—r—r—r—re!” I screamed in dreadful pain, as the sharp bristles ran

into the tender surroundings of my pussey. “Ah! Ah! Oh, my God!” I

screamed plunging and writhing in my agony, his eyes glared into mine

with a fiendish delight, only equalled by the look of his companion,

who held my legs like a vice, and encouraged him to fuck the wanton

woman till she had had enough to keep her out of adultery for a long

time to come.

Presently Father Francisco, digging his nails into the flesh of my

legs, said excitedly, “See, see, she’s coming. The gluey spend is

glistening on your dildoe. Now, now, shoot it into her; let her enjoy

it!”

In a moment I felt the hot gush of the contents of the godemiche. It

rather relieved me for a moment or two, but oh, oh, my dear, even

after this long lapse of time, I can never forget the agony of that

moment. The whole of my body seemed filled with liquid fire, for they

had filled the dildoe with some infernal decoction on purpose to ruin

my health, and destroy all chance of my ever enjoying the sweets of

love again. Such I know was their intent, for they taunted me with it

at the time; but although I never quite recovered from the shock to my

system, and feel even now that it was the original cause of my

premature decay, they did not succeed in depriving me of all sensual

desire or feelings for the future.

I fainted, but they never let me down, and when at last I began to

recover consciousness Father Francisco was using his scourge most

unmercifully on my buttocks, the drawers being open, and the naked

flesh exposed to every cut.

“I thought this would bring her round”, exclaimed he. “See, Father

Anthony, her eyes are opening, it will soon make her forget the

dildoe fucking, she did enjoy that, did she not, Anthony? But she’ll

be a long time before she has such pleasure again. Ha! Ha! Ha!!! how

lovely she is getting, see her wriggle from the pain of every cut. Ah,

Lucille, dear Lady Ellington, what intense delight the sight of your

agony is to us.”

By this time either he was tired, or he thought a little respite would

enable me to bear more presently, so dropping the scourge on the floor

he left me still suspended, whilst himself and assistant sat down and

gloated over the sight of my suspended figure and blood-stained

bottom, with their hands under their frocks, and I verily believe now

they were frigging themselves.

After about ten minutes Father Francisco again approached, scourge in

hand, whilst the elder priest gave me a few drops of cordial, and held

some pungent salts under my nose to refresh me a little. “That will

do,” said the former, “stand back, Father Anthony. Now, now, you

wicked, wanton, lustful young woman, did you wish your husband dead

when having connexion with Lord Dunwich? Why don’t you answer? Were

his parts more pleasing to your sensuality? Is he better furnished

than your husband? Speak up; confess all your wickedness! Did no sense

of shame shock you in the midst of your enjoyment with that fellow,

eh?”

Every question brought a scathing cut with it, breaking the weals and

drawing fresh blood at every stroke, but I really was so ashamed I

knew not how to answer, and my tongue was useless except for moans or

cries of pain, and notwithstanding all their degrading and cruel

treatment I felt it was fully deserved by me.

“Won’t you speak? won’t you confess your sorrow for your sin?” he

continued. “Are you really so lost to all sense of shame as to be

hardened against repentance? This must be whipped, yes, whipped out of

you, even if it nearly costs your life!”

Just then Father Anthony loosed the rope a little, so that I could

shrink further from the blows of the scourge, till I was driven up to

the wall, where I stood on tiptoe with my hands drawn up over my head,

and my back bending as much as possible to avoid the terrible shower

of blows with which he was cutting up my buttocks still more and more.

Crimson with shame, tears flowing in torrents from my starting eyes, I

moaned, cried and implored for mercy, protesting in a broken voice,

“That ever since my husband had renewed his kindness to me I had been

very, very sad and ashamed of myself for what I had done, and only his

former neglect had caused me to throw myself into the arms of a

handsome man to whom I was under great obligations for protecting me

when I escaped from the Ursuline Convent.”

“Ha, then, you are that Lucille who insulted Lady Superior, I heard

all about it at the time!” he went on furiously. “Now you shall be

punished for that too,” seizing my left leg and lifting it up, so

that he could cut freely under my thighs, on my sore cunny, and every

tenderest spot he could think of, whilst old Father Anthony was

rubbing his hands in delight at the sight.

My agony was so intense that I could only gasp and sigh, strength I

had none, he seemed beside himself with rage, but at last dropped his

scourge, and throwing open his frock in front I could feel his rampant

pego thrusting towards my mount, and am sure he spent on my drawers

outside before he could get into me; this he soon effected, and taking

my buttocks up in his strong embrace, he fucked furiously, swaying me

about with my arms still tied up by the rope; but I forgot all that,

his motions within me took away all feeling of pain, and I believe

much as I loathed him and felt humiliated by all his dreadful

treatment that I actually spent copiously when I felt his hot sperm

shooting into and soothing my overheated cunt.

He was so overcome that Father Anthony seeing he was about to fall,

released me, or loosened the rope so that we sank down together on the

floor, and laid almost motionless for a few minutes, till the old

priest, taking up a scourge, began to whip us both unmercifully, and

made Francisco get up. This was the end for that time, but I was

ordered to prepare for a final penance in a day or two’s time.
