Most ofthe Punishment tasks were only five minutes in duration originally, butwith the movement threshold on three of the tasks set at only twopercent... five minutes turned into over twenty. It also didn't help thattwo of the tasks were set for twenty five minutes each. Fortunately forTom the movement threshold on those was set at twenty percent and Tom wasable to complete them without any additional time added.Tom was completely exhausted when his real alarm clock went off at sixam. He knew. I am instantly wet and I feel a hand go to my collar and remove my scarf then tie it around my eyes, leaving me unable to see.

"I'll do anything, sir."A slow. And now be quiet so that we don'tattract attention."Not attracting attention was a good one. Sarah with her tiny littleparasol looked like a lady out of another century.I gave off a sigh of relief when we had the gate behind us."Just not too premature, Claudette," she said with a grin. "Now we haveto go by bus. In our get-ups I suspect that won't be so simple." You were never out of the house like this?" Yes, but just here.
