Mademoiselle then told Elise to undress. Slowly she did so, until, at length, she too was stark naked. Looking foolish, but still more angry, she went into Mademoiselle’s room for a birch which she brought her mistress and handed to her upon her knees. Mademoiselle caressed the green slender well-budded twigs positively with affection and twisted the rod three or four times through the air with supreme satisfaction. Elise had then to lie over a pouf, placed exactly in front of me, and to spread her legs wide asunder. I saw and gazed at all she possessed—her muttering did not prevent my doing so although it undoubtedly sounded ominous—but as I had already made a full acquaintance with her thighs and bottom, I wondered why she troubled to conceal them with petticoats. I was struck by the very different impression given by a partial view of nakedness from that given by the complete revelation. Elise was a lovely girl, not so slender or delicate as Mademoiselle, but certainly lovely. She placed herself in position and received thirty-six slow, deliberate stripes which Mademoiselle delivered with all her force. Elise writhed and twisted, but took the punishment bravely, not crying out but sobbing quietly.
