Return to Avondale

Thus it was, most of all, the sharing of the pun- ishments which had brought Pamela and Donna to their present love for each other, just as it was for thousands of other female couples undergoing the rigors of training schools in the past. Girl room- mates, or cellmates as it may be, were totally different than boys. Because of the peculiarities of females due to t,heir unique bodily functions and conditions, their intimate part,s suffering the same punishments, and their beautiful concern and car- ing for each other, they were totally unique. These things came about each day at Avondale among all the girls. One minute they urged the whipping of a loved one, the next they applied lotion to her with tender loving hands. Boys did not concern them- selves with each other's hurts and wounds. Girls kissed, and rubbed, and licked each other's hurts away. Pamela and Donna had often used their tongues on each other's streaked bottom flesh after a whipping. What further act of love and caring was there than for a girl to actually Iick another's whip stripes to ease the hurt? Like kittens with one another, In Arabian harems it was said that slave girls licked the whip stripes of another, even though she may be complete stranger. Females were endowed with a mysterious desire to care for one another, for men did not tend to their hurts. Is it any question then why females fell in love with one another?

Yet, along with this feeling for each other, females knew that they were created for punish- ment, and thus who could punish a female better than another female? In medieval times, females were hired and used to torture women and girls in

Inquisition chambers and castle dungeons, for they better knew how to hurt another girl, sharing the same bodily parts and emotions. In Roman times slave girls were often ordered t,o whip another of their sister slaves, and the resulting flogging was far more terrible than if given by the master. It was as if females had a secret agreement to respect each other's pride, and thus one should always punish another harder than a man would.

Or, possibly, it was because a female who had received punishment herself knew just how much another could and should accept.

Pamela and Donna had talked about many of these things in bed far into the nights, as their love grew for each other. One thing they definitely agreed upon. Girls had as much right to fall in love with each other as they did with a boy! Anyway, who made the rules that say a girl must fall in love with a boy? Why? Why do girls have to marry boys? Why can't a girl marry whom she pleases, be it male or female?

These questions were not unusual. They had been asked over and over by Avondale girls since the middle of the nineteenth century. They were recognized by a whole line of staff and head- mistresses as being honest and meaningful con- cerns. And since the beginning of Avondale, it, had been a custom to answer them in a most beautiful way. In the early days of the school, girls were permitted to be "engaged" to one another, and the

"engagement" was recognized and respected by all the other girls. In the olden days, "fiancees" could be challenged and the two girls who desired the same girl had to settle the question by bare-fist fights in front of all. The fights were bloody and brutal, but in their way, most beautiful because of what they represented.

In modern times, girls at Avondale who fell in love were permitted to be "married" by the head- mistress. It was not a legal thing, of course, but it was recognized by staff and girls alike. Many grad- uates of Avondale had remained "married" after leaving school, and continued to live together in

London and other cities, going through life fully carrying out the marriage vows just as if it had been with a man.

Thus it was that Pamela and Donna had gone to

Ravan's office one lovely afternoon and announced t.hat t,hey wished to be married. She had kissed them tenderly and hugged f,hem, and they had a date for a week hence.

The ceremony, being held on a delightful July afternoon, was held in the rose garden. Avondale's grounds were well walled in, and outside glimpses just were not possible by passers-by. Nude or par- tially nude young ladies had been Ied on leashes, whipped and bound all about the lovely lawns and gardens for a century while carriages and automo- biles had passed just outside the ivy-coated walls.

All of the girls and staff naturally attended the ceremony, with appropriate weepy eyes on the .occasion. Pamela and Donna looked simply ravish- ing as they stood on the lawn in front of Ravan.

Each wore bridal white panties, white garter belts, white stockings, and white heels. Their heads held lacy white veils with knee-length trains in back.
