The Mistress punishes me by virtue of my existence! I'm consistently dressed like a brothel-boy, I must go to lengths for privacy, and my duties are numbing of the mind and dulling of the senses!

A punishment would be a keen change of pace. I welcome her to do her worst. [famous last words of an impassioned man]

All of this be damned. I will take my payment from the pantysmith, and we should make for the woods.
