'We do not wish to be overheard, do we, Miss Markham? I am very well aware of the feminine interest in the subject, much as some young ladies of your own modesty wish to veil it'.

'Yes, yes, I am very modest', Vanessa uttered gratefully at being able to pick up the word.

'Though not so much so, I trust, as you will disdain a serious discussion on the matter? Do you feel faint, my dear? Lie back a moment', urged the Vicar while a whimper of remonstrance issued from Vanessa's lips as the movement of his arm-guiding her with seeming gentleness and yet withal a demanding strength-caused her back to meet the counterpane and her neatly shod feet to dangle off of the floor.

Her lips parted in total wonderment that such a thing could be happening, Vanessa felt his free hand pass so swiftly and deftly up beneath her skirts that before a cry could escape her his palm had soothed around the slightly rough tops of her stockings and then essayed the rich milky skin above.

'Ah, no!' Vanessa gasped. Her shoulders made to rise but sank down once more. Levering his wrist strongly between her resistant legs, Percival found that which he most sought- to wit, the warm mound of her cunny whose furry prominence mounded against the palrn which he commenced rubbing gently through the cotton of her drawers. 'S… sir, I do not w… want!' she protested, turning her head this way and that while the gentle massaging of the heel of his hand against her clitty caused her to grit her teeth and flush right down to her neck.

'Lie still, Miss Markham, or I may need to demonstrate the use of the tawse on you sooner than I had expected', uttered Percival in such an authoritative tone as for a moment caused Vanessa to return to her even more youthful days when the commands of her Papa had been as those of the Deity. With a total sense of disbelief she felt him slide down as though he had dropped something upon the floor. Hence, believing such to be her moment of escape, she made again to rise and was producing the first flustered motions of so doing when both her uncovered legs were seized and-gripped firmly just above the knees by the Vicar's strong hands-were caused to dangle over his shoulders as he swiftly knelt before her.
