Our hands only left our buttocks to wander over each other's bodies or to permit our arms to hug one another closer.
To obtain such and end of the punishment I was ready to commit the same fault every night.
Blanche guessed as much and said:
"My dear Adeline, in spite of all our present happiness, you must not sin again. To be worthy of the luscious delight I give you and which you will obtain in this school according to the progress you make-it is necessary to take care of your health and not to compromise your companions. By exposing yourself to illness, you expose yourself and your mistresses to a misfortune which you afterwards will regret. We might have treated you severely, but we have not done so in order to prove that your sensual desires will be gratified when the hour is come, but on one condition that you do not violate the wise rules which maintain peace and friendship between pupils. If we did not prohibit nightly encounters, not one of the boarders would sleep. Now you know our indulgences with regard to pleasure, don't abuse it. Can we reckon on your obedience?"
"Oh, yes, my dear mistress."
"We know that you have excellent health and we shall help you retain your strength by a hygiene prescribed by one of our physicians. Convinced of our zeal and our good intentions, we shall not grudge you the occasion of pleasure. Beware of adventures with capricious schoolfellows. I confide it to you here. A mere trifle will inform us of the fault and it will be stopped at once. Next time we shall be merciless." We never ceased kissing one another while we frigged our cunts and Blanche soon fell into a passion. Jumping out of bed she opened a drawer.
"Look," she said. "Put this round your waist and I'll teach you how to be my little lover."
"Oh," I said, "I know how that is done. It is put into the bum hole." "You have had it in there," she said and burst out laughing.
"Yes," replied I.
"Poor little thing, how you must have suffered."
"No, it was very nice."
"Really, we will try that another day. At present it is not the bum hole you'll have to put it between the thighs."
"Will it enter three?"
"Come quick upon me, my darling? Move at the same time. This toy is called a dildoe and it serves as a substitute for a man. You have poured such a fire into my veins that I must have a good fuck at once."
Such things are not hard to learn! Blanche had put the tip of her instrument in her cunt. She wriggled in the maddest manner and I imitated her as best I could. The rather big instrument disappeared into her body. We were locked in each other's arms, we shivered in turns she devoured me with kisses, which I returned with passion. A penetrating fire burned my spinal cord and we discharged at the same time and our spendings mixed together in our hair.
"You promise to be very good," she said, when we were dressing.
"I swear it."
"I trust your word and now you shall not repent of it."
Afterwards we returned to our class. Everything went as if nothing had happened. During the recreation I was astonished not to see my great friend, Angele. I sorry to hear that my fault in part recoiled upon her and that she would be punished the next day. She was shut up alone and had to work all the day. This was the way they exerted influence on our morale and hearts in order to stop errors.
The following day would be that of the tribunal and I should be introduced into the last particulars of the life at school. The Tribune sat at 8 o'clock P.M.
My mistress, Miss Blanche, took me to a small parlour where I was introduced to the Chaplain, Rev. Mr. Jacquart, to Messers, Camille Gaudin, Jules Canes and Bernard de Charvey, physician to the school. They were all men between thirty-five and forty-five years old, belonging to the high Administrial Council of the school.
I was very bashful and bowed awkwardly but they were all so kind that I took courage again. Miss Juliette and Fanny Geraud, the two other farm mistresses and a pupil from the Superior Class, Bertha Litton, soon after joining us. We went into the room of correction arranged in quite another way than the day before.
At the upper end of the hall, five armchairs served as a box. The chaplain was sitting in the middle, he had on his right hand Miss Juliette and on the left Miss Fanny, Mr. Gaudin was sitting beside the former Mr. Bernard Charvey beside the latter.
The three farm mistresses sat down on the chairs to the left. Bertha Little, Mr. Jules Callas and I to the right, on the opposite to the five chairs, were rows of chairs for the pupils who, however were not at the beginning of the chastisement.
Those who had deserved the flagellation without their friends being present were first punished. The lower classes opened the seance with a pretty brunette, who was brought in stark naked, by one of the two superintendents, Miss Elise Robert, a tall splendid girl of nineteen. The other Miss Georgette Pastak, a pretty little blonde of eighteen, was a great contrast to the former.
The little Lisa was all scarlet, very unhappy and perplexed. She approached snivelling, and was fastened to a scat in the middle of hall, her back turned to the Council.
Bertha rose, took a slip of paper farm the table and read: "Miss Lisa Carrin has given one of her companions a box on the ear, has answered again when the mistress scolded her, has refused to copy the ten pages given her as punishment. She has suffered deprivation of recreation and has been condemned to receive five slaps on her bottom before the Council. Miss Adeline Mirzan is charged with the execution."
Dear me! After having suffered flagellation myself, I had to apply it and that in the presence of all these people. A terrible fright riveted me to the spot. My legs trembled.
A profound silence pervaded the assembly. The white skin of the little culprit dazzled my eyes. Miss Juliette addressed me: "Well, Adeline. Make a decision. Don't prolong the anxiety of the child by your cruel and useless hesitation. Strike her and strike hard; she has well deserved it."
All eyes rested upon me. I could not put it off any longer. I rose and approached the terrible stake. Poor little Lisa. She trembled with fear and said in a low voice:
"Don't strike too hard, pray; I am so afraid of the blows." It cut me to the heart. Miss Juliette continued:
"Go on, Adeline, you set to work with deplorable slowness. We shall never finish if you do not make haste. This is nothing compared with others."
I closed my eyes and one, two', five smacks resounded on her little arse. Lisa set up a cry. I had not spared her as I had intended. Her little bottom was all crimson. She was released and brought away. "Remain where you are," commanded Miss Juliette. "There are two other culprits who must be executed the same way."
Alas, the next was no other than Angele, who appeared in all her clothes looking very sad. Her arms and legs were tied and the upper part of her body was supported by the back of the chair. Bertha read:
"Miss Angele de Mairmant is condemned to twelve slaps on her buttocks for the nightly lubricity of her young friend, Adeline, who was surprised in flagrant delight with Marie Rougemont. One day's privations of all pleasures far not having taught Adeline the nature of the moral ties which bind them together." Her petticoats were tucked up and pinned to her shoulders. How pretty her arse appeared: divine, enchanting, bewitching. Oh, how much should have preferred to kiss it. But l had to obey. Miss Juliette said:
