Expelled From Cruxton Abbey

Barb, Alice and Lily were seniors in their final year in 1940, when their school was evacuated to Cruxton Abbey, and adopted the name of its new home. Lord Wragg's spacious seventeenth century residence also provided facilities for the Cruxton Home Guard, which the seniors joined en masse during the tense days of the Battle of Britain. All three were rated as competent marksmen by the time preparations were in hand for Halloween.

A fortnight's unrelieved diet of mashed turnips had inspired the more rebellious aspects of their character as well as the creation of a cartload of Halloween lanterns, fashioned from the shells of the offending turnips. When the three seniors were instructed to distribute the lanterns in the grounds, in preparation for the annual Cruxton Halloween celebrations, they carted them to the armoury, collected three Lee Enfield .303s, matching bolts and a hundred rounds of ammunition, before proceeding to the lacrosse pitch.

Suddenly awakened from his customary afternoon nap by the sound of gunfire, Lord Wragg telephoned the vicar of St. Crux, the irreverent Bob Inder, instructing him to ring the church bells to signal the invasion. Colonel Jollyrei responded by racing hot-foot to the Home Guard Office, where he found his second in command, a Major Fiasco and a state of confusion.

Having exhausted their ammunition as well as the turnip lanterns, Barb, Alice and Lily returned to the armoury, where they were relieved of their weapons by the officers and summarily expelled by the Headmistress. Unfortunately, there are no armed forces records for any of them following their discharge from the Home Guard, which notes concisely that each provided, 'exemplary service'.

That would have been the end of the story, except for an obscure reference in Vassily Ilyasov's 'Illustrated History of the Great Patriotic War' (Pravda 1997) which quotes Stalin's attributed response to Zhukov, concerning the invasion of East Prussia, 'The battle of Eydtkuhnen was won on the playing fields of Cruxton Abbey...'

Fantastic, Bob! So, our three "wayward" girls ran off to join the Russians? Not sure what one should say, as an officer in Her Majesty's army, but it would go some way to explaining Philby's defection. ;)
 
Giggle snort. Priceless! :)
Just expelled, Father Roberto? You are way too lenient to these trouble makers. We shall hold you responsible if one of them, say Barb for example, turns into a kingpin in a decadent gang of perverts!
Naturally, one does not wish to dampen the fighting spirit in a time of national crisis... ;)

Well, it was the King's army in those days, and the ladies attached to Royal Artillery were allowed to aim the guns but not to fire them. The Red Army was much more pragmatic about these things... ;)

Thanks for the feedback, everybody - glad you enjoyed it! :)

I didn't know whether to hit the Love reaction or the laughter one, I think i might get Spike in to administer the other one!

That was enormous fun, Bob! Thank you!
Thank you for revitalizing this thread. Four days of reading and viewing such great content. That original tale was absolutely SUPERB! Even if the sudden twist from a slow burning corruption of the innocent into a full blown crux fantasy did give me a bit of whiplash. Great manips all around too. Cruxton Abbey seems like THE manor to visit, bar none.

I'm enthralled by this forum's community tales. A perfect blend of sadism, eroticism, and humor.
And thank you, too, Baron! Perhaps you might enjoy a weekend house party at the Abbey?
 
Most certainly! The whispered tales of the great Cruxton Abbey has reached even to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and a certain Baron has found it fascinating. I will be booking a steamship to England post haste!
We shall endeavour to teach the girls a few words of German. Cultural exchange is so enriching. ;) :D

Wonderful story and pics. Your choice of models for your three seniors is perfect!

Thanks very much, E-DF! Your comment is especially appreciated, since I know you are personally acquainted with Lily.

Her source photo was taken at the 'Two Trees Eatery' at Bali in Indonesia. The picture does not appear to be consciously posed, and there is something very appealing about her natural expression. I don't know who the photographer is, but I think the date is within the last couple of years. This seems to be one of Lily's favourite places. :)

Happy Christmas from Cruxton Abbey!
Everything is ready for a traditional Christmas Eve in the hall at Cruxton Abbey. Festive games are underway, although Barb was surprised by the version of "Knots and Crosses" that the Abbey plays.

Oh, do stop complaining, Alice! :rolleyes:

We were thinking of putting you on the top of the tree! ;)
 
Lord Wragg and the Strange Case of Pinot Noir

Always keen to maintain a large number of staff to run his country estate, Lord Wragg has spent the winter bidding enthusiastically in various online auctions. In fact he has recently made a successful closing bid for an undisclosed sum. And today, a welcome break in the seasonal blizzards reveals an unusually clear, blue sky with brilliant sunshine casting a keen sense of anticipation over Cruxton Abbey.

The fine weather heralds the arrival of a special delivery from the West Coast of the United States, and Lord Wragg is pleased to receive the latest addition to his domestic staff. Ryonen is also pleased to make a safe landfall, having spent the last five days disguised as a case of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir (don't ask - the wine is being shipped separately).

Lord Wragg explains the house rules to his new maid, adding that he always photographs members of the domestic staff as this helps him to identify them and memorise their serial numbers names. He insists on taking each photograph with the house in the background, to provide a visual identification of the estate to which the servants belong.

The house is quite large, and so the photograph has to be taken some distance away to include it in the picture. Lord Wragg informs Ryonen that she will soon become accustomed to walking barefoot through the snow, to which she exclaims, 'I did not expect to be celebrating my birthday like this!'

... and Messa says : " Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ! Immediately in my bed ! "

Lord Wragg responds : " Tsss ! Tsss ! Tssss ! "
Patience Messa. She will be finished clearing that snow soon, maybe in 3 weeks or so, and then she can serve you. :D

having spent the last five days disguised as a case of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir (don't ask - the wine is being shipped separately).
I would think so. Clever really. This way, Barb does the work of unpacking the crate with the new slavegirl in it, but doesn't actually get the wine. :D

A really beautifully blended image, there fitting Ryonen into the snowscape - shadows are convincing, as is the expression on her face that seems to say, "I left California so I could stand naked in wet snow?" She should be happy that it's at least sunny. ;)
