I loved this story, and it was one of my all time favorites, and it's playful tone and subject matter has informed a lot of my own work ever since I read it. Nominally it's based on The Blue Moon / Richard Manton books, and adopts that style, but improves on them enormously by giving us an upper crust heroine who secretly covets the punishment she is trying to avoid.

The first section, where the idiot guard and the malicious matron result in Tracy's "accidental" trip over the whipping bench, is brilliant. It also contained one of my favorite lines: "Grunts and squeals arose from the 'waiting culprits about to be on the receiving end of justice' but they were ignored. Actually, reading it again, I now wonder why it was in quotes and who said it? In any event it perfectly marks Tracy's transformation from a visitor to a 'culprit' doomed to receive 'justice."

I had wanted more scenes like Chapter One and took it upon myself to write them in various other stories, none as well as the original source material. Thank you so much for this wonderful story and please know that I highly recommend this book!
