"A business acquaintance
of mine told me about an event that she had attended
while abroad in France," the Madam continued
as the maid laced her into knee-high black boots.
"One of the exhibitions sounded so interesting,
I thought I'd give it a try." She stood and the
maid helped her into a sheer chemise of deepest crimson.
"However, I'm beginning to believe that this
might be better handled in the way of your line of
work, my dear Horse Master, than mine."
"You intend to
use horses?" The cuffs of his billowing sleeves
were fastened snugly at his wrists with gold and sapphire
cufflinks. The maid tied his dove gray cravat expertly
around his neck then pinned it with a sapphire brooch.
"Of a sort,"
she said smiling. She rose and her maid began the
task of lacing the Madam into a heavy black, velvet
corset. "I wanted to put on a ... I guess you
could call it a 'Dog and Pony' show." She grinned
at him as she took hold of her bedpost so the maid
could tighten the laces without being pulled off her
feet. "I want to use my girls and a few of my
prettier boys as the animals."
"You're going
to use your staff as dogs and ponies?" He thought
a moment as his white stockings and tall Hessian boots
were pulled on. Her staff parading about as beasts?
It sounded plausible, even... titillating. "I've
never heard of this."
She chuckled. "You'd
never seen grown men being spanked to climax until
your first visit," she teased. "The doggies
and kitties are all doing very well, as my staff is
very familiar with collars and running around on all
fours. The special harnesses and the tack for the
human ponies have all been completed. The chariot
specifically for my grand entrance and some of the
other vehicles has already been delivered. However
the ponies themselves, especially the ones I wish
to use in driving teams, are another story."
"How may I be
of assistance?" He shrugged into his midnight
indigo waistcoat, then belted and knotted his burgundy
sash.
"I have one pony
successfully trained for something very specific,"
she said turning as the maid finished lacing and held
up the sheer, crimson petticoats for the Madam to
step into. "However, the rest of the pony-girls
and boys don't know quite, what to do and their handlers
don't know how to tell them without just whipping
them into position or ordering them to do it, out
loud." The Madam stepped into the complicated,
cage-like crinoline that formed the frame for the
bustle of her gown. The maid fastened the tapes at
her waist.
"And you would
like your ponies to respond like natural horses, to
whip and rein, as opposed to verbal commands, is that
it?" he asked as he slipped his deep blue, tailed
coat on and straightened the lapels.
"Precisely."
She smiled. "I also want to have a few trick
ponies, for a circus exhibition," she said then
allowed her maid to button her into a sleeveless gown
of rich, iridescent black with falls of midnight lace
and rows of glittering, jet beads. "But again,
the ponies and handlers don't quite know what to do."
The maid arranged and attached the abundant, glowing
folds of her skirts as they pooled around her, into
a bustle and a long elegant train.
"I know very
little about your techniques with discipline. I've
never schooled humans."
"My style of
discipline doesn't seem to be achieving the proper
result for the display I'm looking for. I thought
perhaps, if we applied a style of training more suited
to actual horses, the exhibition would look more realistic."
The maid presented the Madam with her jewel case.
She chose a simple ruby pendant on a silver chain
set with jet.
"I know that
you worked with a circus at one time, training horses
to do jumps and leaps on command. Do you think you
could show my trainers a few techniques that might
work with my ponies?"
Not
available at the moment.
