I was lucky that it wasn't a working day for Mrs McTavish's maid, but I was concerned that someone might visit. I imagined the comments, "The big French girl was taught a lesson." Or, "What a shame to be spanked on the bare at her age." Worse was imagining the neighbors from across the street, visiting with their pimpled face boy. 'Oh no, I'll die!'
Mrs. Mc T chimed, "Marie-Chantal, you now know how we deal with naughty girls in this house. You should also know that your father was told of our methods, and he has approved them." I silently sighed. I should have known. "You may rub your bottom, pull up your knickers, adjust your skirt, and run along."
I didn't need to be told twice. I ran upstairs to the bathroom I share with Margaret. I pulled up my mini and lowered my knickers to survey the damages in the tall mirror, my derriere wasn't black and blue, but it was well reddened. I gently rubbed it with a wet flannel, it was a great relief. I again heard Mrs. McTavish ordering, "Marie-Chantal! Take your school uniform out of the bag and hang it in your closet." As I was doing that Margaret joined me.
"It was your first spanking, wasn't it?"
I soberly nodded.
"You're lucky it wasn't Poppa!"
I apprehensively rubbed my derriere with one hand while storing my cotton knickers and grey knee socks in my commode.
"When he smacks my bum with his hand, it feels like the hairbrush from Mom."
"Huh!"
"I can't describe how it feels when he's using the hairbrush, its so... so intense."
I didn't know what to say.
She continued. "He gave me two dozen smacks last night. You want to see?"
I must have somehow nodded. She raised her mini and pulled her knickers up into her rear valley. I saw dark red semi circles decorating her cheeks.
"I saw how you wriggled in your chair this morning."
She winked, "I have noticed."
"You're still sore?"
"Nah, am ok now."
"How long is your bottom going to be bruised?"
"About a week, maybe less with regular soaks with Epsom Salts."
From below Mrs. Mc T called, "Come and set the table, both of you!" Margaret hurried down. I followed her just as fast. After having received la fessée cul nu, I sure didn't want to keep her waiting.
We had finished setting the table when her father came back from his club. Mrs. McTavish told him, "I had to punish Marie-Chantal for bad language at the uniform shop."
I blushed crimson, and she added. "Marie-Chantal, turn around, raise your skirt and lower your knickers!" I was frozen. She added, "Do it now or you will be again spanked, and this time it will be my husband doing it."
I remembered the words of Margaret about her father's spankings. I slowly obeyed. I blushed so red that I felt my ears tickling when I lowered my knickers.
"It was your first spanking, Marie-Chantal?"
I pitifully answered, "Yes Sir."
Red face and with my knickers still down, I listened, "We will be closely watching your grades. You will be punished for each grade under 10/20. As you will improve, we will raise that requirement to 11/20 and hopefully to 12/20, as Margaret."
I nodded.
"We have promised your father that you will have your A-levels with honors. You will also be perfectly bilingual."
I again nodded.
"You may raise your knickers, and adjust your skirt."
Dinner was great. They said that I should call them Aunty Davina and Uncle Archie. I told that Papa and Maman also call me Marie. Then they announced that tomorrow after mass and lunch they will take me visit the Edinburgh castle with a private guide. I beamed.
Next morning for mass, Margaret gave me an above knees kilted skirt in the tartan of the McTavish. "You are our guest, therefore you should wear our tartan." I was honored. Aunty Davina wore a below the knees kilted skirt, and for Uncle Archie it was trews, both in their tartan. We were another Scottish family attending mass. We girls found the church's chairs quite hard for our still sore derrieres.
After mass, everyone socialized in the church's garden. Margaret introduced me to her friend Agatha. She told her as if mentioning the weather. "Yesterday Marie-Chantal got her first skelping from Mom." I didn't know the word, but I didn't need a translation when Agatha chimed back, "Welcome to the club!" I was quite surprised by their pragmatic approach to such form of discipline. I nonetheless blushed, and they both laughed.
Lunch was at the family's favorite pub. I discovered haggis, and I liked it. I wasn't offered a beer. I was introduced to a few friends of the family. One of them seemed to have had too much whisky. He greeted me with, "Welcome to Scotland Sassanach!"
Uncle Archie sternly replied, "She isn't a Sassanach, she's French and she wears our tartan."
The guy apologized, "I am sorry Frenchy!"
Margaret explained, Sassanach is a derogatory word meaning foreigner. She added, "You're not a Sassanach because you're French, its about the Auld Alliance." I of course knew of the 1295 Auld Alliance between Scotland and France.
Next we visited the castle. The throne room was fascinating. I imagined Mary Stuart having sat there...

You are invited to role-play with us
I am loving & learning the history lesson, B.
ReplyDeleteAnd remember, the best lessons are learned over a bare bottom!
Just sayin' :-)
"I of course knew of the 1295 Auld Alliance between Scotland and France. "
Oh my! I will google that, B!
Is that the Tawse-Martinet Accord ?
"Sassanach" is a lovely word that I only read on your Blog, B, which I like :-)
Love the Franco-Scottish thing, already. Red n blue tartan.
"Uncle Archie sternly replied, "She isn't a Sassanach, she's French and she wears our tartan."
And I love the whole strict, performative philosophy applied to the girls here, B. It is exactly what I am used to.
And Oh my! Sophie's plumply-swelling botty, hands on head & the cane on photo one is a compelling surprise B. If simply par for the course for disobedience and poor grades, naturally!
"Standing in the corner with my hands atop my head like a naughty ten-year-old, I was shamefully exposing my fiery bottom with my skirt bunched up and my knickers having dropped around my ankles. I desperately wanted to sooth my burning bum, but I knew that I would get another spanking if I did."
Why yes: an explosive, awesome start again, B. I sure do remember that in yore, with my very own 1950s white, soft-cotton Lil' Southern belle panties were just like Sophie's here (and similarly positioned, pulled down to just just above knees, for mother's cane, sadly! Boo-Hoo!)
Aunt Roberta Part 2 on Asa's site yesterday... Oh my! Dear Charlotte's poor lily white botty (chubbily peeping & posturing through pedals) over the vault-horse for the cane is just magnificent, B:
"A week later Harriet got another D and her mother made an appointment for her to again visit Aunt Roberta. I gave her a hug as she confided, “She has warned me that she will take my knickers down if I came back…”
Again, just marvelous, B.
"I hoped that no one had spotted my juvenile display or they would be guessing that this eighteen year old school girl was severely spanked. I felt my cheeks burning. I was for sure blushing as a peony, I tried not to run on my way to my friend Harriet’s house."
Your Aunt Roberta story is very much like Marie-Chantal, B. I love the focus on good, proper decorum & behaviour, & strict, performative schooling for fine, young ladies, with appropriate corporal punishment (on bare bottoms) for wayward antics or high-maintenance princess Brattitude. And as a traditional, good Southern lady, already (born 1959) I have never known any different quite frankly, thank the good Lord!
Wonderful post :-)
Hugs n smackabots, B.
No-nonsense Brenda xx
Happy that you have liked both stories :)
ReplyDeleteTrue about similarities, but I do try to have different stories, and hopefully will be better at that.
Hugs and smackies :)
B xx
I love all your similarities, B. And indeed your differences.
ReplyDeletePerhaps we need an algorithm for all our spanking contingencies, B ?
..Chat Bot :-)
That wonderful photo of Sophie, reminds me of how my mother affected the choices of moms in our church (1960s) and the uncomfortable outcomes experienced by their daughters' bare bottoms.
Our regular, wonderful church moms coffee mornings would often segue into discussions about smacked bottoms AKA how to raise daughters. Y'all girls might listen-in, but as a young girl, I seemed to be a more attentive, avid listener, B. Oh my!! And my mother would even discuss things through after the event with sister & me!! Among traditional, suburban, Christian mothers...spanking was everything, B!!
Our dear mom would advise younger, new moms to the church & would explain that when we needed chastising: she would pull down our panties & tan our bare botties with her special lil' spanking stick, AKA a top-quality, thin, flexible rattan cane (perfectly & specifically designed for deknickered, very bare, very sensitive-skinned, naughty princess botties!) Our Sophie here, hands on head, and her cane powerfully describe this above, B.
Like mother, like daughter...
In those 1960s/70s, some Church mothers took my mom's advice & purchased a cane for their girls. Others would continue to use the traditional Southern strap (much more common than the cane in Georgia) Oh dear! I was not a popular bestie with my girlfriends whose mom had gotten a cane for their bare bums, already!!!!
Boo-Hoo! But alas, I'm afraid it was all just normal, strict Southern life in the round, B.
In later years, I also advocated the same "cane to bare botty" discipline for naughty daughters in discussion with church moms (no surprise there): emphasising how it had done me & my sister a lot of good as a naughty child! Indeed, my older mother was often around to endorse her original punishment routines in these more recent conversations.
I have also been influenced over many years, by my Nigerian female cohort of colleagues (& now besties!!) who I met working for a large, global corp in Atlanta. The parental cane on a bare botty is common for West African girls growing up at home & these moms (having been raised with CP) later chastised their own daughters the exact same way as they had themselves experienced. Oh my! I always loved their candid, no-nonsense approach. They are aspirational, wonderful, educated, vivacious moms! Our conversations were frank & devoid of PC, albeit we always discussed things discretely & professionally, away from company premises, over coffee, beers or bourbon in the bars of Atlanta, B.
Oh my! Your blog so inspires me, thank you, B.
