“That’s the reason they are called lessons. They lesson from day to day.”
Lewis Carroll
Mistress to Dog, Dog to Mistress. Master to Slave. Slave to Dominatrix… Diego, who else, says we conceive of our relationships in terms of lessons regarding status and action. Character is irrelevant when the idea possesses us. Madam Li has no opinion on her status or character. Overstall considers Diego’s idea poppycock. Francesca wonders if poppycock is a seed, and if so can you it in a dough? Neither Felicia nor Maclean were not available for comment. Sylvia, who you may imagine, as often we do, is surprisingly self-contained and obedient. The Count, on the other hand, once broke off an affair by declaring:
A dog only hears his master’s voice when he’s out of the woods.
