Matilda's Piccaninnies (Hosted on Bdsmlr)
Mid afternoon at the Hartley Plantation. Elizabeth Hartley is seated (On the left) and has invited her neighbours for afternoon tea when the maid, Matilda (Standing on the right), announces that Olivia Wardle, Elizabeth’s cousin has arrived on horseback.
Elizabeth: “Olivia my dear you are just in time for tea and how splendid you look in your riding outfit.”
Olivia: “Why thank you my dear cousin I have acquired a thirst. I trust all is well with yourself and family.”
Elizabeth: “ Oh yes indeed except for poor Isaac who pulled a muscle whilst chastising a field hand. The doctor says he needs to rest for a week so I’m in charge of keeping the slaves in order until he recovers.”
Olivia: “I’m sorry to hear that. Has there been any unrest on the plantation?”
Elizabeth: “Nothing of any serious nature but one or two of Matilda’s daughters have been shirking their household duties lately.”
Olivia: “Then I arrived just in time cousin. When the shirking starts the whipping starts. You must dominate your slaves. Matilda! Go round up your piccaninnies and have them line up naked outside this room right now.”
Elizabeth: “There are six of them!”
Olivia: “Then it’s just as well I brought my heavy duty riding crop. I’ll show you ladies how to use it then you can take it in turns. It will be an afternoon well spent teaching these slaves who is in charge.”
