Against her better judgment Irene decides to let a runaway house slave return to the Compound. She is getting ready for a trip to France for Venus Fair and needs someone to superintend the large building in Her absence. The slave ran away for ridiculous reasons and now must be punished to atone for his sins. He had been doing all sorts of negative things against Irene that She has found out about, and the only way the slave is going to learn is if he is punished. A total of 10 canes are used as well as a birch, lady spanker, evening star, razor strop, and Irene's bare hand. He is fastened securely over the punishment box (a New West Leda design). His sentence is 1000 cane strokes but Irene gives him a reprieve at 600 due to skin loss. He is forced to clean up the canes at the end. Interestingly, the slave's behavior worsened a year later and he was completely dismissed from service at the Compound. Real lifestyle punishment of an errant house slave. Extremely severe.
