 They kept me in the same chamber1, where I had been so outraged2, the two nuns4 nursing,—bathing my bruises5, and using soothing6 injections to allay7 the inflammations of my privates, till, on the third day, they said I was so far recovered that my Confessors might finish the prescribed penance8, adding, with a malicious9 smile, “we saw everything last time, and so we shall now, through our peepholes; 75how delicious the sight was last time, and we had such frigging and dildoe fucks after it was all over.”
 
Having said this, they speedily disappeared and I was left to await my fate in trembling anxiety; I was hot and cold by turns, as the recollection of all the humiliating and painful incidents of the other day came back so vividly10 to my mind, and in imagination I seemed to suffer all my tortures over again.
 
This did not last long, although you may be sure it seemed long enough to me in my state of apprehension11. A key was turned in the lock, and the door creaked on its hinges; my persecuting12 confessors again stood before me in reality, with quite a sardonic13 expression of anticipated pleasure on their faces; no trace of pity could I find on either visage, nothing but gloating sensuality seemed to animate14 the ardent15 looks with which they regarded me for some moments.
 
The hateful Francisco was the first to address me, a smile of terrible meaning playing 76round his mouth, showing his pearly white teeth to such perfection that I was again strongly reminded of my husband.
 
“Lady Ellington, I hope, has had good time for reflection upon the heinousness16 of her sins, particularly those in contravention of her marriage vows17; wantonness is as nothing compared to that. What has the penitent18 Lucille to say? Has her chastisement19 made her feel the pangs20 of real remorse21?” he said, whisking a scourge22 before my face.
 
I was too frightened to speak; face, neck and bosom23, I could feel, were in a burning heat, whilst my eyes could not meet his, for something more than shame instinctively24 told me what I might have to suffer at his hands.
 
“No sign of repentance25 here, Father Anthony; she must be stripped naked at once. Do you hear, Lucille? Strip—strip—strip at once, or it will be much the worse for you!” he said with rough ferocity.
 
Both priests helped me to undress, and in their impetuous haste almost tore the clothes 77off my back, at the same time taking all sorts of disgusting liberties, and keeping me in a continued state of confusion, at last when nothing was left but my chemise to remove, they suddenly tied the rope round my left ancle, and in an instant I found myself suspended head downwards27, with the right leg kicking in the air, and screaming piteously for mercy.
 
“Secure her wrists to the rings in the floor,” said Francisco, “and then help me to whip the seat of lust28 till she is a little more repentant29.”
 
The elder priest speedily effected this, and then both of them with scourges30 commenced to whip me most mercilessly, aiming their relentless31 cuts between my legs so as to cut the lips of my cunt and round my bottom-hole at every blow; now and then the cruel thongs32 would wind round the upper part of my thighs33, or on to my mount; my cries were heartrending, as each blow seemed to re-open all my old cuts and bruises. “Ah! Ah—r—r—re! 78Oh! Oh!! will you never have pity, and believe me sorry for my faults?” I screamed or moaned, and gasped35 out the words in intense agony.
 
“So you begin to repent26 a little under the lash36, do you, Lucille, are you really sorry for having wronged Lord Ellington, is it your mind or your cunt that is most filled with remorse? How you seem to writhe37, and how prettily38 we are making it look for you, the trickling39 blood is delightful40 to see as it flows in drops and rills over your back and belly41!” His questions were spoken slowly as he seemed to enjoy the pleasure of my intense suffering, and two or three of his cuts were over the tender surface of my belly or right across the navel.
 
“Scream away, you sensual woman, why don’t you implore42 the Holy Virgin43 to have pity and forgive you, we are only carrying out her commands, are we not Father Francisco?” hissed44 out old Anthony, as he continued to scourge my back and sides, and 79every now and then aimed a fearful blow right down my lacerated cunny. Again they would stop for a little, and ask me jeeringly46, “about my feeling of remorse, would I indulge in such obscenity with my husband again, or keep from adultery in future?”
 
I was almost too far gone to do more than moan, and Father Anthony suggested that I ought to be well lashed47 over my neck, shoulders, and bosom, to make me speak out, but the other seeing how exhausted48 I really was, restrained his mad fury, and then after waiting a little one of them would give me a terrible cut, and ask the other to see the beautiful effects of it as I swayed about in agony; this was done again and again, till after a time the scourges were thrown aside, and the rope being lowered I was allowed to lay on the floor for a little while, and some cordial was again administered to refresh me, my tormentors sitting down and frigging themselves openly before my face, till in the act of spending they would stand over me so that I might 80be thoroughly49 humiliated50 by having all their spendings drop on my face, neck, or head, as I was still secured to the floor by my wrists.
 
Presently, at a sign from Francisco, his companion hoisted51 me up by the ancle again, and did it so tightly that I was frightfully stretched by my arms and leg; which were drawn52 as painfully tight as he could make it, the fastenings cutting into the flesh so that I bear the marks to this very day, I could see that Francisco was again preparing his godemiche with oil, but he did not put any upon my person.
 
Horrified53 at the sight, I begged and implored54 them in the most piteous manner not to degrade me again with that disgusting instrument, promising55 to pay the Church any amount for absolution rather than endure it again.
 
“Too late, too late, your repentance is not sincere, besides, the other day we saw with our eyes how your lascivious56 nature responded to the thrusts of this thing in your cunt, 81now I am going to degrade your bottom-hole by inserting it there, however painful the operation may prove,” saying which he seized, and held my left leg under his arm, and standing57 close to my body at once proceeded to carry out his infernal idea of ravishing my anus. Lacerated, bleeding, and sore as my bottom was at the least touch, and regardless of my piercing shrieks58, he forced the oily head of the india rubber thing quite into my tightly contracted bum-hole, the pain was intense, as it seemed to rend34 the lining60 tissue of the anal canal in its passage, and the bristles61 round its root added, if possible, still more to the intensity62 of my suffering.
 
I believe, that giving one long shriek59 of agony, I lost consciousness for a time, but only to awake and find them laughing and jeering45 at my sufferings, as the one worked his dildoe in my bottom, whilst the other had thrust two or three fingers up my blood-stained and wounded cunt. It is quite indescribable what I felt at this outrage3, the accumulation 82of shame, agony and horror so overpowered my exhausted nature, that I went off again into such a death-like swoon, that they really feared I was dead, and made haste to let me down as well as apply strong restoratives.
 
My hands were still retained in the rings on the floor, and the godemiche was left sticking in my bottom, the spasmodic contractions63 of the sphincter muscle holding it as in a vice64, whilst the pulsations of the violated passage behind were still awfully65 painful. All this was apparent to me as I slowly came to myself once more, and could see the excited looks of my cruel Confessors, who proceeded to sprinkle me with cold water, and use a large sponge for the purpose of both refreshing66 me and allowing them to gloat over the extent of my hurts.
 
This lasted a little while, then I was made to get up on my hands and knees, facing Francisco, who then opened his frock, so as to show me the excited state of his prick67, at the same time, with a malicious look of fiendish 83joy, he asked me, “If I should not like to suck such a delightful sweetmeat?” Then seeing my look of intense disgust, he burst into a rage, saying, “Oh! So you mean to insult me as you did the Lady Superior of the Ursulines, do you, Lucille? You may think I am disgusting and nasty, or I smell strong as she did, and I may tell you, to make you relish68 it still more, that scarcely an hour ago it was up the strong smelling cunt of that very same lady, and I was careful not to wash, so that you might have the full benefit of the delicious aroma69 of her spendings.”
 
Speechless with disgust, and helpless in every way, it was useless for me to appeal for mercy or consideration from two such heartless beings; the only thing I could do was to close my eyes to the awful sight.
 
But only for a moment, a tremendous whack70 from Father Anthony, who had taken up the scourge, made me shriek out again, “Ah! Ah! Oh! Will you never finish me off, and kill me in mercy?” The only answer I had was a 84quick repetition of the blow, whilst the repulsive71 Francisco’s right hand, clutching my hair, pulled my head up, and drew it back so painfully, that I gasped for breath. This was exactly what he wanted, and, in a moment, his prick was forced into my mouth. The sensation was so repulsive, horrible, and choking all at once, that I had not the presence of mind to bite, or he would have repented72 the act ever after. Old Anthony was cutting my back, bottom, thighs, and loins, even the calves73 of my legs not escaping his frenzied74 scourging75. Blood was streaming over my flesh, and dripping to the floor in little pools, and I felt I was really dying at last. Just then the excited Francisco shot a deluge76 of hot sperm77 into my mouth and throat; I was choked, and remember no more, except, that on recovering consciousness, the supposed Confessor, Francisco, was dressed as a gentleman, and I immediately recognised him as my husband, as, at the same instant, he exclaimed, “Woman, my revenge is complete. You won’t 85deceive me again. How I have revelled78 in degrading, humiliating, and torturing my adulterous wife. You’ll never see me more. This has been my way of divorcing myself from a faithless bitch.”
 
He was gone before I could find words to reply, but my sense of pain was instantly drowned in a deep desire for vengeance79 for this outrage, and its impulse so strengthened me, that I was soon well enough to travel.
 
My lover, Lord Dunwich, received me with open arms, and declared he would shoot or be shot by the Earl ere forty-eight hours had elapsed; at once despatching a friend with his cartel to arrange a meeting for the next morning in Hyde Park at the dawn of day.
 
We spent the night together at his hotel, although scarcely fourteen days since I was so fearfully outraged, how we fucked all night, and swam in sensual pleasures for hours, I would deny him nothing, was he not my champion, who was going to risk his life in the morning to avenge80 my fearful wrongs, and 86to make him still more earnest in his desire for vengeance, I stripped naked, let him examine every part, where the marks of the bruises and lacerations were still visible; my cunt he sucked, kissed and fucked till I was beside myself with excitement, and he was also ready for anything, then my poor bum-hole attracted his attention, he kissed and put his tongue into it, till I was eager to have him there, and begged he would put his prick in gently at first for fear of hurting me too much; this was a heavenly finish to our night of love; we swam in delight, never before or since have I tasted voluptuous81 joy to equal that enculade.
 
Next morning dressed as a young gentleman with a false moustache, I went as one of his seconds to the fatal place of meeting, and had the satisfaction of seeing my wrongs avenged82 by a ball through the heart of my hated husband. We then went abroad for a while, but my dear lover lost his life by drowning in the Rhine, since which I have consoled myself 87as you know by all sorts of erotic fancies, especially flagellation, and now dear Rosa at the early age of twenty-five I find myself fast fading away.
