## An Education: Whitsuntied

Thursday, 23rd May, 4 pm
“Cassie!! Hang on a minute!!”
I turned round and saw Jenny running up the road just after me, waving and shouting, so I stopped and waited for her to catch me up. She stood there, panting for a moment, before she said “Sorry - Angela just wanted me to tell you that we’re both going to be in the Manor House at the weekend, working on a school project, but we’re going to stay out of your way as much as possible.”
Now I had been looking forward to a weekend without a big sister, but I could understand why she had told me. It was going to be the first time the five of us - Suzie, Pippa, Hazel and Claire as well as me - had been alone since I got the award, and I had hoped we would be left alone. We usually are when we go to Suzie’s grandmother’s house anyway, but if Jenny and her gang were going to be there as well...
“Hey - whose car is that outside our house?”
I turned to look to our gate, and saw what Jenny meant. There was a small green car parked outside, one I had never seen before, and as we got closer I could see that there was a pair of pink fluffy dogs sitting behind the back window.
“Now who do you think they belong to,” Jenny said as we walked to our front door. As we went in, I could hear Mum talking to someone in our front room.
“I was as surprised as you were when they appeared here. Did you know they were coming?”
I then heard another woman talking, her voice a little different, almost Scottish, saying “Not a sausage of an idea - the first I knew was when they appeared on my doorstep just before Christmas. I think the lass was more shocked than I was.”
“Mum, we’re home,” Jenny called out, and we saw Mum appearing in the doorway, holding her back as she said “Come in here, girls - there’s someone I want you to meet properly.”
We followed mum in and saw two other people in there. One looked like a younger version of Mum, although her face was more lined and her hair was a darker colour. “Oh my god, Jenn,” she said as she saw us, “They’ve grown so much.”
“Hello Aunt Jessica,” Jenny said as she stood there, “Have you settled in yet?”
“Oh it’s going to take a while for that to happen, Jenny,” she said with a big smile, “but I’m glad to be back nearer my family. Patty, say hello to your cousins.”
I was looking at Aunt Jessica as she sat there. She was slightly smaller and plumper than Mum, and was wearing a blue denim dress with brass buttons on the front, with black knee length boots. Mum was wearing an old t-shirt and stretch pants with slipper socks.
“Hello Jennifer, Hello Cassandra.”
I looked to the other armchair, and sitting on it was a nine year old girl, with long black hair that was platted into two pigtails that fell either side of her face and down her shoulders. Her eyes were a mixture of green and brown, and hidden behind a pair of steel rimmed glasses. She was wearing a red t-shirt under a denim bib dress, which came to the top of her knees, white socks and black shoes.
“Say hello to your cousin, girls,” Mum said as she looked at us. We both said “hello,” and smiled at her, before I said “so, how do you like your new home?”
“It’s all right,” Patty said, “but I miss my friends, and I miss playing at the Peel on a Saturday.”
“You’ll make new friends soon enough,” Aunt Jessica said with a smile. “Patty will be starting at your school after the holiday, Cassie, and I understand she’s going to meet some of your friends this weekend?”
“That’s right,” I said with a smile, “You’ll like Suzie and the others.”
“Girls,” Mum said before she groaned and held her back again, “Why don’t you go and get changed, and then the three of you can play upstairs.”
“What about our homework, Mum? You always say we have to do that first.”
“I think,” Mum said as she groaned again, “I am going to allow an exception to that tonight. On you go - I’ll send Patty up in a few minutes.”
We both turned and walked up the stairs, going into our bedrooms as we wondered why Mum was groaning. I put my bag on the floor, and took off my school clothes, folding them and putting them on the laundry box before I pulled out a pair of grey joggers and an old white t-shirt and put them on.
There was a knock on the door, and I heard Patty say “Can I come in, Cassandra?”
“Sure,” I said, and as she came in I said “Patty, please call me Cassie - only Granny calls me Cassandra, and only when she is angry.”
“Gotcha,” Patty said as she sat on the bed, swinging her legs to and fro. “So what do you do for fun here, Cassie? What about your friends, will they like me?”
“I’m sure they will,” I said as I sat next to her, “And Jenny’s all right as well.” I looked at her and said “I guess it’s scary, coming to a new town?”
“Yeah,” she said as she looked at me, “I know why Mum did it - too many bad memories of Dad. I really liked Linlithgow, and I’ll miss my classmates from there, but I guess we’ll keep in touch.”
Patty’s dad, Uncle Harry, had died a couple of years ago - Granny had looked after us while Mum and Dad went to the funeral. I don't exactly know what happened - all Dad said was there had been a car crash - but I know Mum had been very unhappy when she came back. Something had upset her a lot, I guess - but whatever it was was in the past.
Jenny came in, and sat in my chair, looking at both of us. She had put on a pair of jeans and a white sweatshirt, as she said “Listen, it’s nice outside - why don’t we go to the park for an hour or so? We can show you some of the local shops and things then.”
Patty nodded as she stood up, and then said “thanks - I get the feeling Mum and Aunt Jenn want to talk about things.”
“I noticed,” Jenny said as I put on a jacket. We went downstairs in time to meet Dad coming in.
“Hello Patty,” he said as he picked up and hugged our cousin. “You’ve grown - is your mother in the front room.”
As Patty nodded, Jenny said “Dad, we’re going to the park for an hour.”
“All right,” he said as Jenny and Patty put on their coats, “Don’t be any later than that though - I’m going to cook tea tonight.” We walked to the front door, as we heard Dad say “Hello Jessica, I was...”
When we got back to our house, we saw Dad driving off with Mum and Aunt Jessica. “Where do you think they are going,” Jenny said as we walked in, and saw Granny standing there, with a big smile on her face.
“Patty, my little angel,” she said as Patty ran up and cuddled her, “It’s so good to see you. Jenny, Cassie, your dad had taken your mum to the hospital, and your Aunt Jessica has gone with them, so I’ve come over to keep an eye on you, and Aunt Cassie will join us later.”
“Is it time,” Jenny said, and I looked at her, wondering if she knew something I had missed. Looking back at Granny, I saw her nod and then say “Let’s have a girl’s night in, all right? Patty, your mum says you should stay here tonight - I’m sure you can borrow some nightclothes from Cassie to sleep in.”
“Can we play our special games tonight,” I said as I looked at Granny, but she shook her head. “Not tonight, poppet,” she said, “we need to be ready in case anything happens, but we’ll still have fun, all right? At any rate, you two still have some homework to do, don’t you?”
“What’s going on,” I whispered to Jenny as we went in the front room, “Is Mum all right?”
“I think,” Jenny said quietly, “you’re about to stop being the baby of the family, but keep quiet about it, all right?”
“Keep quiet? You may have to make me,” I whispered back, but as Jenny laughed she said “Not tonight - we don’t know if Patty wants to play, or even if she knows. All right?”
I nodded as the front door opened, and Aunt Cassie came in, wearing a long brown skirt that rustled as she moved, a tan coloured jumper and a funny soft waistcoat. “Well, there you are,” she said as she looked at us. “And you must be Patricia. I’m Aunt Cassie - a pleasure to meet you.”
Patty blushed and nodded as Aunt Cassie looked at both of us, and then said “Right - let’s find a DVD to put on, as soon as you two have finished your homework. Why don’t you help me pick, Patty?”
It was a funny night - we did our homework, had our tea, and then watched Patty’s choice of movie - Tangled. When the film finished, Granny simply said “Right - time you three got ready for bed. Cassie, can you find something for Patty?”
We went upstairs, and I found an old blue nightdress that came to above my knees, but on Patty almost reached the floor. We then went back downstairs for a while, but Granny and Aunt Cassie were spending half the time listening to us and half looking at the door.
“When’s Dad going to be back,” Jenny said, and as if on cue the phone rang. “I’ll get it,” Aunt Cassie said, and as she left the room Granny said “He may not be back until much later, Jenny - I’m sure...”
“That was John,” Aunt Cassie said as she came back in, “Jennifer’s fine, but they’re staying there. You three are to go to bed, and he’ll see you in the morning.”
“Will Mum be coming home as well,” I said as I looked at Granny.
“I don’t know, Cassie,” she said with a smile, “but I’m sure Dad will tell you everything later. Right - come on, up to your bed.”
Aunt Cassie came up with a blow up mattress, which she used a foot pump on to make it big and firm in my room, and then put a sleeping bag and a pillow on it for Patty. As I climbed under the duvet, Aunt Cassie said “Good night, both of you,” and turned the light off.
“Cassie?”
“Yeah, Patty?”
“Mum said you got an award for bravery last week - were you really held hostage by robbers?”
“Yeah I was.”
“Were you scared?”
“A little, but I had to be brave for everyone else.”
There was a moment’s silence, before Patty said “Will you tell me about it?”
“In the morning, all right?”
“All right - I want to know what it was like” There was silence as I turned over and went to sleep, wondering what Patty had been told.
I was woken up by the sound of Granny saying “Oh thank God,” and Dad speaking to her. I looked at the clock, and saw it was two in the morning, so I went back to sleep.
Friday 24th May, 7 am
When my alarm went off at seven, I got up, stretched and yawned before I went to the toilet, leaving Patty sleeping on the bed. When I came out, Jenny was waiting.
“Did you hear Dad last night?”
I nodded and waited until she came back out, before we both went downstairs. Dad was sitting at the table, and when I looked at him I realised he had not been to bed - he was still wearing his shirt and trousers from when I saw him last night.
“Ah here are my angels,” he said as he looked up at us. “How are you both this morning?”
“Dad,” Jenny said as Granny came in with the milk bottles, “Where’s Mum?”
“Sit down, girls,” Dad said as Granny handed him a cup of coffee, and then sat down herself, a big grin on her face. “Now, I took your mum to the hospital last night because she knew it was time for the newest member of our family to arrive - and she was right to do so.”
I grinned from ear to ear as I said “So my baby brother has arrived?”
Jenny looked at me and said “How did you know it was a baby brother?”
Dad yawned and said “Well, I told her Jenny - but then you know something else, don’t you? Mum told me what happened when you listened on Mother’s Day.”
It was Jenny’s turn to blush as she said “I... I thought I heard two sets of heartbeats.”
Dad was still smiling as he stood up and picked up our digital camera, as Patty came in and said “Good morning.”
“Jennifer Alison and Cassandra Paulette Craig,” he said as he looked at us, “Later today I’ll take you to meet them for real, but this is your new baby brother, born at 11.40 last night. His name is David John Craig.” He looked at Granny as he said this, while we looked at the new born baby on the photo.
“Oh wow,” Patty said as she looked at him, “He looks so small.” Jenny and I said nothing, as we gazed at our baby brother.
“And this,” Dad said again as he fiddled with the camera once more, “is your little sister, who was born at 12.15 this morning.”
“Our...” I started to say, and then stopped as I looked at Dad and Granny, “Our baby sister?”
“That’s right,” Granny said with a smile, “You did hear two sets of heartbeats, Jenny. Your mother had been expecting twins - but it seems they are going to have different birthdays.”
“What... what is her name,” Jenny said as she looked at the second picture, this one of a baby with dark hair.
“We’re going to call her June - June Helen Craig,” Dad said as he sat back down, leaving us looking at the pictures.

Amazing beginning!!

### Re: An Education: Whitsuntied

Post by Tom Ford » Mon Apr 15, 2013 10:52 am

A great beginning. And three new characters, Patty, David, and June.
Twins! A girl and a boy! And with different birthdays!! What an unusual occurrence. At least there won’t be any question on who’s older! I wonder if there would be one or two birthday celebrations as they grow older? More to the topic of this stories, it would look like that Danny Brown, and Andy Bowden would have new playmates. So there would be a gang of four growing up together, playing together. I almost feel sorry for June. She would probably be the victim in almost all tie up games as they grow up.
But David and June’s stories would be for the future. Far more interesting is that of Patty. I wonder how will she be introduced in the games? I think it would be inevitable that she would find out, ‘cause I’m sure Jenny and Cassie would not, could not bear to not play some of the tie up games. And based on the hints on this story, Patty would be part of the Holderness Manor gathering, and I don’t think they would want to avoid it. For one thing, Pippa, Hazel and Claire would probably talk about what happened, and probably demand that Suzie and Cassie teach them, or if not, tie them again like the robbers did.
Probably, Cassie would introduce the topic to Patty so the entire family won’t have to hide something. It would be better if they could talk freely, and play openly, rather than tiptoe around the issue. But how would they do it? Would they be simply caught playing?
So Jenny would be there on a school project? And why do I have the feeling that Alicia, Mary, and Cathy would be on the school project too (aside from the hints, that is ). I know they would stay away, but I have to say that the four are probably planning a tie up game on their own after, before, or even during doing their school project. Would it somehow intersect with the games of the younger girls? It would be funny if the 11 year olds would be hopping, bound and gagged, from room to room, and came upon Jenny, Alicia, Cathy and Mary tied up on their own! Maybe that could happen?
Anyway, I hope Bobby and Angela would be there. Bobby, if only to get Cassie teased again, and Angela, who is such a great teacher in TUGs, that I hope she gets to reprise her role. And with four new students (with Patty), she could use some assistants in teaching (Cassie, Suzie, and even Bobby).
Does Colin know that Jenny would be there and there would be gathering? Maybe he could give himself an excuse (perhaps like “message from DCI Hampon” or school project with Bobby) to visit?
Perhaps, like Cassie, Jenny, Mary, and Cathy, the four new ones would be given a tour of the estate while tied up by Angela and Bobby.
Still, I look forward to when Pippa, Hazel, and Claire (and Patty) would be able to tie up, if not as well as the others, then well enough to be inescapable.

Gerat new story

### Re: An Education: Whitsuntied

Post by William F Somebody » Mon Apr 15, 2013 1:29 pm

Welcome Patty and Aunt Jessica. I wonder how will Patty’s relationship be with her cousins. Jenny I think would have the least problem, as she already knew how to act as a big sister, so maybe Patty would just be another Cassie to her. Cassie, I think, would have to adjust to not being the “baby” of the family, and not only because of the recent birth of the twins, but because of Patty. Especially because of Patty.
For the first time, Cassie would play with someone not of her age or older, but someone younger. She would act as “big sister” to Patty. And how does Patty bet introduced into the games? And how’s her personality? Right now, it won’t be apparent because they’re all new, and Patty’s still shy, but when she overcomes her shyness, I’m sure, as was mentioned in Mother’s Day, she’ll be more than a handful “who needed a dose of Miranda” to calm her down. Does that mean she’s a bit naughty, or does she mean that she has overwhelming energy that seemed to never get tired? Does she talk nonstop about everything that comes into her mind? And could her energy and restlessness could ever reconcile itself to being bound and gagged? Perhaps Cassie and Suzie could show her how she too could be as energetic and active bound and gagged?
I hope that Cassie could get a handle on her when they go to Holderness Manor, or it might be a problem if she might act in unpredictable ways once the inevitable games get played, especially with Hazel, Claire, and Pippa presumably itching to resume the tie up games with Cassie where they left off in that night.
And how is Cassie going to answer that question about what happened when she got held hostage? I’m sure Cassie would try to keep the secret, (because even if she’s their cousin, Patty is in no way a Craig, nor was her mother a Craig), but Patty would I think, press for details.
So we have twins!! There would be two babies in the Craig household. I wonder how will that impact the games? I’m sure Mum’s participation, even after she recovered, would be severely curtailed because of taking care of the baby. And perhaps Mum would start teaching the two older girls how to take care of a baby, not only to help her but to prepare them for the future when they might have their own children.
On Holderness Manor, with Hazel, Pippa, Claire, Patty, Jenny, Cassie, Suzie, Mary, Cathy, and Alicia for certain to be there, it would be one hell of a weekend. Hope there’d be time for a sleepover, a fancy dinner, and of course, good ole’ tie-ups!
Hope for more soon!!!

I've got to ask. In Widow's Shadow, while the adults have their own adventure, Cassie and Jenny would be spending their time with Patty. Hm, would Cassie and Jenny and Patty have their own little tie up adventure at the very same time the adult women have theirs? Maybe tie up their Aunt Jessica while they're at it?

How involved Mum is going to be, and how Jenny and Cassie are going to support her, is something we will learn in due course...

I just stared at the second picture, at the pink bonnet and her hands waving in the air, as Dad said “Cassie - your jaw is dropping. Close your mouth please.”
Jenny had sat down, looking at Dad and Granny with a look I had never seen before. “So that’s what Aunt Cassie was trying to say,” she eventually whispered, and then more loudly said “Why didn’t you tell us?”
“We wanted to, but - well, we felt it was better to wait and see what happened. I’m sorry if that sounds as if we were hiding things - although, come to think of it, we were.”
Granny looked at me and said “Well, Cassie - what are you thinking?”
“I... I don’t know,” I said, and then I smiled as I said “Wait until I tell the girls...”
“On which note,” Dad said, “You two need to have your breakfast and get ready for school. Patty, you’re going to stay here with granny until your mother comes to collect you later.”
“All right, Uncle John,” Patty said as she looked at both of us. “Wow - double the family in one night. What do you think your friends are going to say?”
“WOW!!!”
That was what Pippa said when I saw her in the playground when Dad dropped me off. When Hazel and Claire came up, and I told them, they just looked at each other, hugged me and then said “If you want any help, let us know - even if one of them is a boy.”
“Especially as one of them is a boy,” Claire said, “they can be real trouble.”
“Tell me about it,” I said with a smile, “but I can’t quite believe it - a baby brother and a baby sister.”
“Yeah - but do you realise what else that means?”
I looked at Pippa and said “What?”
“You’re not the baby of the family any more. Congrats Cassie - you’re all grown up.”
“No I’m not - I’m... I’m...”
I stopped and thought for a moment, before the bell went and we lined up to go into our classes. When we found a table at lunchtime, Pippa said “Actually, we wanted to ask you if that means things are different this weekend.”
“Oh lord no,” I said with a smile, “I’m looking forward to that.”
“What about your cousin,” Hazel said “Will she be joining in?”
That was when I realised that, in all the excitement that morning, I had not had a chance to talk to Patty. “Let’s see what happens,” I said, “but Jenny’s going to be around somewhere.”
“Great - big sister syndrome.”
“Nope, Claire - they’ll be somewhere else in the house. It’s a big place. Don’t worry - they won’t disturb us.”
“So you’re going to teach us - you and Suzie?”
“Oh yes - but are you three ready? After all, your mum,” I said as I looked at Hazel and Claire, “was a bit funny last weekend.”
“Mum’s still a bit scared about what happened - but we want to know how you did what you did to us. We won’t tell her.”
“You may have to at some point - but let’s not worry about that now. Tonight I see David and June - and I can’t wait!”
The corridor still smelt of a forest as Dad walked down it, with my hand in one of his and Jenny’s in his other one, and we went back under the sign we had seen only a week or so before. As we approached the double doors, they opened and we saw Aunt Connie and Uncle Dave coming out. Uncle Dave was carrying a small car seat by a handle, and sleeping inside, wrapped in blankets, was little Danny.
“And there’s the next proud Dad,” he said as Aunt Connie hugged Dad, and then both of us. She looked tired, but there was a glow in her face as she said “Well, at least we can stop keeping this secret from you two now. Go on in - she’s waiting for you. Cassie came earlier, and Jessica said she and Patty would drop by later.”
“Yeah - they’re coming to our house for dinner tonight,” Dad said, and with that we went into the room, and saw Mum sitting up in bed. She smiled as she saw us, me in my yellow dress and Jenny in her school uniform, and said “Come here you two - give your mother a hug.”
We didn’t run over, but we did go quickly to each side of her and gave her the biggest hug we could. As we went to her, we passed a plastic box at each side of the bed, but it was only after we stopped that we turned and saw them in real life for the first time.
They looked very, very similar, save for the fact one had a blue bonnet on and one a pink one. “So is that David,” Jenny said as she pointed to the pink hat, making Dad and Mum both laugh.
“Of course not,” Mum said, “That’s June - would you like to hold her?”
Very carefully, Dad lifted June out of the box and placed her in Jenny’s arms, resting the tiny head in the crook of her arm. “Just hold her like that and you’ll be fine,” he said as he lifted David out. I looked at Dad, and then the next thing I knew he was in my arms, and I was looking down into his face as he opened his eyes and looked at me.
“Hello David,” I said, and I felt myself smile as I looked at him. “I’m your big sister Cassie. Welcome to the family.”
“You too June,” I heard Jenny say, and as I looked over I could see there was a tear running down her cheek. What was more surprising was that I could feel one running down mine as well.
“Hey, hey,” Mum said as she looked at us, “I know - it’s a bit overwhelming, now that we’re a much bigger family.”
“It’s not that,” Jenny said, “I just know now how Alicia felt when she saw Andrew - it’s a strange feeling. Was I like this when I saw Cassie for the first time?”
“As I remember, you cried for a completely different reason - you needed the toilet,” Dad said, which made us both laugh. “Look girls, Mum is going to need all three of us to help her over the next few months, and we need to make some changes - the spare room is now a nursery for one thing.”
“What about our games?”
“Well,” Mum said as she took the new babies from us, “I won’t be able to play for a while, but you can still play. Let’s just see what happens, all right?”
We both nodded as Aunt Jessica and Patty came in. “How are you, sis,” she said as she kissed Mum’s cheek.
“Tired, but happy,” Mum said as Dad took us by the hand. “I’ll take them to get a drink - back in a few minutes,” he said as we left the room, and went to a small cafe.
As we both sipped on a glass of Coke, Dad put a cup of coffee to his mouth.
“Dad?”
“Yes, Jenny?”
“I was wondering - do you think Andrew, Danny and David will get on as well as we do with Alicia and Suzie?”
“Almost certainly,” he said as he put his cup down.
“Do you think they will play our games as well?”
“Not for a while - but I’d be very surprised if they did not.” Dad looked at his watch, and then said “Cassie, when we go back, let Mum know you will tell Lady Holderness tomorrow our news.”
I nodded as he then said “Oh - and we need to get something for the new babies. How about I take care of that for both of you later?”
We both nodded and started to drink again.
“You promised you were going to tell me!”
Tea was over, and the three of us were in my room. Patty was wearing a pair of grey joggers and a matching Nike sweatshirt, while for once Jenny and I had not changed - save for Jenny taking her blazer and tie off.
I nodded as I sat on the bed, my legs swinging as I said “Well, it was scary, when the man walked in the door holding Pippa’s arm. I knew two things - the house was being robbed, and we were in trouble, but I had to keep the others calm. So I took the lead, and when we discovered we were going to be tied up I offered to help.”
“But how did you know what to do?” Patty was looking at us both, wide eyed, as I looked at Jenny and she looked at me.
“Well.... Patty, can you keep a secret from your mother?”
“Cross my heart and hope to die,” Patty said as she ran her finger over her chest and looked at us.
“It wasn’t the first time I and Suzie had been tied up - nowhere near the first time. I knew how it had been done to me, and the man took care of Suzie. I made it look as if I was copying him, but I did know what I was doing.”
“Wow,” Patty said as she looked at us, “What about you Jenny - have you been tied up and gagged too?”
Jenny nodded, and then said “In fact, quite a few of us have. You see...”
“Can you tie me up?”
I looked at Patty, and said “Have you ever been tied up before?”
She shuffled her feet a little, and said “No - but I have seen it on the television. What’s it like?”
Jenny picked up a skipping rope, and said “Put your hands in front of you.” As Patty did this, Jenny wrapped the rope around her wrists, pulling them gently together as she secured them side by side, and then let them fall to her lap.
“Is this how you were tied, Cassie,” she said as she looked at me and twisted her wrists around.
“Not quite the same way, no,” I said as Jenny picked up a second skipping rope and tied her ankles together. “Tell you what - maybe tomorrow at the Manor house I can show you, if you’re not scared.”
“I’m not scared,” Patty said as she twisted her legs round, “I can be as brave as you were - I can!”
“Sound familiar,” Jenny whispered to me, and I hate to say it - but it did sound familiar. I had to stop myself from laughing as Aunt Jessica called up “Patty - we need to get home. Uncle John will pick you up tomorrow.”
“All right Mum,” Patty shouted down as we untied her. “See you both tomorrow,” she said as she ran out of the room.
“Well?”
“Let’s find out tomorrow,” I said as I put the skipping ropes away.
Saturday 25th May, 10 am.
We looked out of the car window as Dad went to the front door of the house and knocked on it, and Patty ran out, jumping into the car and sitting between us. She was wearing a blue top with red flowers on it, blue jeans and sneakers. I had on a white t-shirt and shorts, with knee length socks and trainers, while Jenny was wearing a blue blouse and jeans with her black Ugg boots.
“Strap in,” Dad said over his shoulder as he started the car again, having put an overnight bag into the back of the car, and we set off again on the short drive to Holderness Manor. As we drove through the gates and up the driveway, I felt like I was coming to my second home, so familiar was it.
Patty, however, stared wide eyed out of the window as we drove up the tree lined road, and then onto the driveway at the front of the house. We got out, and she simply said “Wow,” as she looked at the lawn running down from the house.
“I’m glad you like it,” a familiar voice said, and we turned to see Angela standing there, wearing a pale green cotton dress, a cream coloured jacket and flat cream coloured shoes.
“Hello girls, and hello Patricia - I’m Angela Bowden, welcome to Holderness Manor. Grandma is inside with Suzie and Alicia - why don’t you come and meet her?”
As we walked into the hallway, Mr Bridges went past, saying “Allow me to fetch the bags” as he did so. “A real butler,” Patty whispered - well, said out loud. Angela laughed and said “no - Mr and Mrs Bridges look after the house. You’ll meet them later - this way please.” She opened the door to the library and we went in, to see Lady Holderness, Alicia and Suzie sitting there.
Suzie ran up and hugged me, her gypsy skirt rustling as she did so, then said to Patty “You must be Cassie’s cousin - I’m Suzie. Do you like to be called Patricia or something else?”
“Patty please,” she replied as I saw Alicia hugging Jenny. “Now I know how you felt,” she whispered as Lady Holderness said “I believe you have something to tell me, Cassandra?”
“Yes, your Ladyship,” I said, “I have a new baby brother and a new baby sister.”
She smiled and said “Congratulations to all of you.” She was wearing her usual cream coloured twin set, with a knee length tweed skirt and brown shoes, but she then did something I had never seen her do before - she stood up, walked over and hugged Dad, saying “I’m so glad it all worked out in the end,” as she did so.
Alicia and Suzie looked at their grandmother - Suzie had on a short sleeved blouse as well as her skirt, and white shoes, while Alicia was wearing a pair of tan coloured trousers and a mustard coloured short sleeved top.
“Well, I have to go,” Dad said eventually, “Jenny, I’ll come and pick you up at five. Cassie, I’ll see you tomorrow.” As he turned to leave, Mr Bridges came in and said “Mrs Brooks is here with her daughter, your Ladyship.”
“Thank you,” Lady Holderness said as she took Suzie by the hand. “Come on,” Alicia said to Jenny, “the others are in the main hall.” They both left as Patty stood with me, looking round the library and saying “Cassie - just who are these friends of yours?”

Patty is a little overeager to be tied up, isn’t she? She is still rather innocent about all this. I almost laughed out loud when she asked if how she was tied by Cassie and Jenny was the same way they had been tied by robbers. Oh she’ll be truly surprised by how they really play.
One good thing about the robbery is that to Cassie’s three friends, all the preliminary tie ups, the step by step process from very loose to absolutely inescapable could be skipped and they could go to the meat of the process. Cassie and Suzie could go right ahead, knowing that they already have been there, and they wouldn’t mnd.
That scene when they are each carrying a baby twin was so cute.
I wonder how the three friends would react to someone smaller tagging along with their group? I hope they make Patty as home as she could be. They all know each other, and have a history with each other, but Patty? She’s a virtual stranger. I hope she doesn’t get too overwhelmed, but something’s telling me that she would fit right in!!
I wonder what time will Mary and Cathy arrive for their school project? And would Alicia, Jenny, Mary and Cathy play also their own games? If they would, it’s probably separate from the younger ones, but perhaps we could know? Maybe as I said, Cassie and co. could have fun by hopping from room to room while tied up, and accidentally come upon Jenny and co. also tied up?
So Angela is there! That’s very cool! Now I’m hoping for Bobby to make an appearance as well, seeing as he’ll tell Cassie something she’ll like.
Anyway, hope for more from you soon!
And for real tying up, and gagging, to begin!

Great chapter!!!!

### Re: An Education: Whitsuntied

Post by William F Somebody » Wed Apr 17, 2013 1:42 pm

A rather uneventful chapter, but that is expected as it is only a transitional one.
It’s nice to see Angela helping Lady Holderness as hostess of the Manor. It must be comforting that her grandchild could help her with such duties (I assume that Anne also helped her when she could, but is also now busy), and I hope she could, in the following years, also train Alicia and Suzie with it. Alicia would be so marvellously suited to the job even now I think that I wouldn’t be surprised to see her help her big sister help Lady Holderness in her hostess duties.
So it’s ten in the morning. I wonder what time would the twins arrive? They would, like Patty, probably marvel at Holderness Manor. Will Cassie and Pippa (who already arrived) be at the door to greet the twins as they arrived? And will they immediately plunge into their games, or wait until after lunch (since it’s only two hours from noon)? And what about Patty?
I assume that the three would immediately want to be tied up and want to learn to tie up like the way Cassie tied them up when the robbers visited. And they’d want to be gagged too, as the girls probably had fun even while they were robbed. How would Patty react on seeing them tied up like that? Hazel, Claire, and Pippa might have been there, but not Patty? Would she be scared? Probably not, especially after seeing the older girls (it somehow feels wrong to refer to Cassie and Suzie as “older girls”) have fun, she’d want to be in on the action too. She would feel left out if she’s the only one not tied up? OF course, that would raise the question of who would do the final tying if all six of them would be tied up—perhaps Angela?
Hm, maybe Angela or somebody, maybe Mrs Bridges?—could introduce a new technique—not really a new technique, rather a combination of old techniques. I bet she’s been thinking of ways to remedy the problem of socks becoming too loose or having holes made into them—perhaps one that I’ve mentioned in the previous story? The one used by the robbers is good too, but applicable only if the hands are palm to palm. This one could be used crossed and palm to palm, and the wrists are protected from ropes too!!
First tape each individual hand into fists, until it resembles a ball.
Second, cover their taped hands with socks.
Third, tape the socks into their arms to prevent it from slipping.
Fourth, tie as usual, palm to palm, or crossed.
Perhaps Cassie or someone else might introduce her friends to the joys of the microfoam white tape?
So Jenny will go home at five? And that means her friends Mary and Cathy (who as mentioned in the hints were asked to come too) will go home too? Alicia might sleepover as she’s the granddaughter of Lady Holderness. And when will Bobby appear?
Too bad Jenny had to come home that early, but it would mean that dinner would purely be small children’s affair! It would be more fun, and uninhibited. Hope the adults encourage this lively atmosphere! And hope that they all dine in cute dresses (and which means that they get tied up too after dinner wearing those cute dresses too) like the one Cassie and company wore at the award ceremony. I bet Patty would look totally adorable!
And the next day, the usual things—tour of the grounds while tied up, perhaps some running around and playing on the grounds tied up, perhaps the older girls or Bobby would tie their feet, put them in wheelborrows, and push them around the grounds, even have a picnic!
Anyway, thanks for a fantastic job!!

“The best,” I said as we followed them out, and saw Pippa standing with her mother as Lady Holderness was talking to them.
“I hope this is not an imposition on you, Your Ladyship,” Mrs Brooks was saying as Pippa stood there, twisting from side to side on her feet as she looked round. She was also wearing a t-shirt and shorts, pink in her case, and she smiled as she saw us standing there.
“It is no imposition, Mrs Brooks,” Lady Holderness replied, “After what happened that night, I feel Suzanne is a friend of your daughters, and we make a point of allowing her to have her friends to stay. Suzanne, why don’t you take the others to the playroom - Mrs Bridges will show the other girls up when they arrive.”
“Of course, Grandma,” Suzie said as Pippa walked over and joined us, and we walked up the staircase. Walking into the playroom, both Pippa and Patty looked round as Suzie closed the door, then said “Welcome to my grandmother’s house, Pippa.”
“Oh my goodness,” Pippa said as she sat on a beanbag, “Is this the room you were tied up in last year?”
Patty looked at me, as I said “This is it - the room where we first met, right Suzie?”
“It sure was,” Suzie said as she sat down. I looked at Patty, and then said “oops - Pippa, this is my cousin Patty. Patty, this is Pippa.”
“Hi,” Pippa said as she leaned back. “So, when do we start?”
“When the twins get here,” I said as I sat down as well, watching Patty as she picked up a book. “Do we have to wait,” she said as she sat down and kicked her legs in the air, “I want to know what happened to all of you.”
I could see she was getting a little impatient, so I said “I tell you what, Patty - why don’t I show you how I was tied up the first time we were robbed. Then you can decide what else you want to do?”
“You’ll do that - great! What do I have to do?”
Suzie opened a box and took out some rope as I said “Put your hands behind your back,” I said, and Patty actually had the biggest grin on her face as she did so. I then crossed her wrists behind her back, and started to tie her arms together, making sure I wound the rope around and between them, before tying the ends off and tucking them into the band. I then took a second length of rope around her waist and tied the ends together just below her belly button.
“Wow,” Patty said as she tried twisting her arms round, “that feels tight.”
“Is it uncomfortable?”
“I don’t know - it just feels funny. What now?”
“Sit down on the blanket box,” Suzie said, and as my cousin sat I picked up another length of rope, which I used to tie her ankles together, cinching the coils between her legs. Another length went round her legs, just below her knees, and then she sat there, swinging her legs to and fro as the door opened.
“Your other friends are here, Miss Suzanne,” Mrs Bridges said as she showed Hazel and Claire in. They were, as usual, virtually identically dressed, in short sleeved blouses over long sleeved white tops, casual trousers and trainers - Hazel was wearing a brown blouse and pants, while Claire was wearing grey ones.
“Aw, you started without us,” Hazel said as she saw Patty on the box. “Is this your cousin?”
“It is,” I said as I picked up an old cotton headscarf, a yellow triangle with thin strap sat two corners. “Patty, this is Hazel and Claire. I was showing Patty what happened when Jenny and I were tied up one afternoon with Mum.”
“Oh I remember that - so this is how they tied you? It does not look as tight as what happened to us?”
I shook my head at Hazel’s comment, and the hurt look on Patty’s face. “No it isn’t,” I said, “but this is the first time Patty has really been tied up - I want her to get used to it, then if she wants to join us later she can.”
“So how does it feel, Patty,” Claire said as she looked at the ropes around my cousin’s body.
“Strange - it feels strange, but not scary,” she said as she looked at me. “What are you going to do with the scarf?”
“Well, the man tied it in my mouth to keep me quiet. Of course, if you don’t want it...”
“Can I try that later, I want to get used to this first,” Patty said, so I put the scarf down and said “Now then - if you want Suzie and me to teach you how I tied you up, you need to go to the toilet first, and then you need to draw lots to see how we teach first. Then the other two get a chance to try it later, all right?”
“That seems fair - then we all get a chance to practice on each other?”
Suzie nodded, as she said “Angela, my cousin, will come and help us for the first time in a little while - we’ll teach one of you, then Cassie can tie that one up with me, and then...
“Can I be tied up the same way?”
We both looked at Patty, and I said “Watch what happens, and then decide how it feels.”
“Will we have our hands covered?”
“Not the first time - given this is the first time it will have been done as a game, you need to be able to feel you can move or use your hands. The toilet is the third door on the right - you three go, and then come back.”
As the trio left the room, Suzie said to Patty “so how do you like it - hands behind back and legs tied?”
“It’s not as scary as I thought it would be,” she said as she shuffled on the box seat, “I can see why you like this, but I still think I could get away if I wanted to.”
“We may do something about that,” I said with a smile. “So where’s Alicia and the others?”
“In the main room downstairs - they were charged with interviewing a local celebrity, so Alicia naturally thought of Grandpa. Once they’re finished with that, I think they might go down to the lake for a while later.”
“Are we going to go down later?”
“I thought we might save that fro tomorrow,” Suzie said as the others came back, “Grandpa and Grandma want us to dress for dinner tonight. Did you bring your dress?”
I nodded as Claire closed the door, and then said “How do we do this?”
Suzie picked up a pack of cards, and then said “Draw one out” after she had shuffled them. “Highest card gets to learn first." They looked at each other, drew one card, and then turned them face up at the same time.
“Aces high,” Claire said as she looked at me, and then smiled as I nodded. “Can I do Hazel then,” she said as she looked at her twin sister, “she woke me up this morning with a wet flannel on my face.”
“Only because you were snoring,” Hazel said as she stuck her tongue out, but we all laughed - including Patty. “All right,” I said as I took a length of rope and handed it to Claire, while Suzie sat down next to Patty, “Copy what I do. Double the rope over, and hold the centre in one hand and the ends in the other. Pippa, Hazel, you need to stand with your backs to us and your wrists crossed behind your back.”
They turned and did as we asked, as I said “Right, Claire, you wrap the doubled over rope around Hazel’s wrists, and then feed the ends under the middle and pull gently, bringing her wrists together. Then pull back against the middle, and wrap it round her wrists, keeping the coils of rope on top of each other. All right?”
Claire nodded as she did as I asked, binding her sister’s wrists together as I took care of Pippa. “Hey,” she said as she looked over her shoulder, “Did I hear Mum right? Your mother had twins as well?”
I nodded and said “Yup - a boy and a girl, born on different days, but still the cutest and most adorable little...” I looked at Claire, who was looking at me in a funny way.
“What?”
“Do you know how big a grin you have at the moment? Right, what do I do now?”
I shook my head and said “Tuck the ends under the top loop, then separate them and pass them between the arms. As you pull, it tightens the loops around the wrists - it’s called cinching.” We both did the same thing to our volunteers, tying the ends tightly together on top and then tucking the ends in.
“So that’s what you did to me,” Patty said as she looked on, “I bet I could do that.”
“Maybe you will,” Suzie said as I picked up two longer lengths of rope. “You now need to use this,” I said as I handed one to Claire, “and pass it around Hazel’s waist from behind, making sure her wrist sit against her back. You can then bring the ends back, and pass them between her wrists and her back - this locks them in place. Watch what I do to Pippa, and then you do the same.”
She watched as I tied the rope around Pippa’s waist, and then did the same to hazel, who said "This feels familiar” as she stood there.
“Yes, it does,” Pippa said as I tied the rope off, and then picked up two more long lengths of rope. “Watch carefully,” I said as I tied one end of the rope around Pippa’s arm, just below her elbow, and then wrapped the rope around her tummy and other arm as if doing two circles of eight. “This keeps the arms into the side,” I said as I finished off by tying the ends against the first arm, “and stops you making much use of them. Can you do the same to Hazel?”
Claire did just that as Pippa wriggled round, the rope rubbing against her bare arms. “It’s tight all right,” she then said as Hazel had her arms secured. “Is this the worst you’ve ever had?”
“No - but one step at a...”
“I want you to do that to me.”
I looked at Patty, who had a big frown on her face. Looking at Suzie, I said “Are you sure you want me to? It is a bit more restrictive than that.”
“I want to be part of the gang,” she called out, so Suzie bound her arms in the way as we turned Pippa and Hazel round, and then helped them to sit on two of the beanbags.
“This actually feels quite cosy - and without the man standing over us, I don’t feel afraid,” Hazel said as she looked at us, then at Pippa.
“It is funny isn’t it - that night I was scared stiff, but you stayed calm. Now - I can see why you like it. So what happens next?”
I handed Claire another length of rope. “Same as with the wrists, “I said quietly, “double the rope over, and then keep their ankles side by side as you tie them together.”
“Why don’t you want them crossed,” Hazel said as Claire bound her ankles together, over the bottom of her pant legs.
“You’ll see,” I said as I winked at Suzie, and then tied Pippa’s ankles together. We then used another length of rope, and Claire followed my instructions to tie their legs together, the same way as their ankles, below their knees to secure them together,
“Oh,” Hazel said as she watched her twin sister tie her legs together, “That is tight. But nice as well - I could get to like this.”
“Yeah - but do we get to be quiet now? And what are you going to use? Not that silver tape I hope.”
“No,” Suzie said as she reached up to a shelf and picked up a box, “I think you might prefer this stuff. It goes round the head, but will not damage your hair, so you don’t need a scarf on.” She opened the box and took out a wide roll of our favourite white tape, handing it to Claire and sitting back down. She tore a little strip off and stuck it to the back of her hand, before saying “It feels soft - but is it strong?”
“Try it,” I say as I hand her the yellow scarf. “Make that into a ball, and put in into Hazel’s mouth, then stick the tape to her cheek and wrap it round three times.”
She did as I asked, then handed me the roll as I folded a red scarf into a pad and pushed it into Pippa’s mouth. “There,” I said after I wrapped the tape around her mouth, trapping her hair at the back of her neck, “Does that feel as tight as it did that night?”
The two girls nodded as I heard Patty say “Oh come on - I want to be gagged like that as well!! Please!!!”
“All right,” Suzie said as she picked up a white handkerchief, and Patty opened her mouth, nodding as her mouth was stuffed and then taped over. She nodded as she said “Tsssfnnene” and then started to giggle.
“Be careful,” I said as I looked at her. “If you’re not used to this, you can get into real trouble if you laugh.”
“You need to listen to your cousin, Patty - she knows what she’s talking about.”
I turned to see Angela standing in the door, her arms crossed in front of her. “I see Cassie has taught you a few things, Claire,” she said as she checked the ropes on Hazel and Pippa. “Why don’t you show me what you have learned - if you tie Cassie up, I’ll take care of Suzie, and then you.”
“REVENGE!” Claire called out as she picked up some more lengths of rope, while Suzie stood up with her back to Angela and crossed her wrists behind her back. As she methodically tied me up, I could tell she was a quick learner - it as not as tight as Suzie, never mind Angela, but she was doing the right sort of thing.
Twenty minutes later, Angela finished wrapping the tape round Claire’s head, as we sat in a circle, four of us on beanbags. Suzie on a chair and Pippa on the box. “Lunch,” Angela said as she looked at her watch, “will be in about ninety minutes, so I’ll come up to free you then. Suzie, Cassie - remember not to try the stairs yet.” She walked out of the room as Hazel said “whtddshmnbtht?”
“Lsshwu,” I said as I pushed myself up onto my feet, and then started to jump around the room. Suzie joined in, as one by one the others managed to get to their feet and start to take little hops round.
Well, big hops in Patty’s case - she really seemed to be enjoying the situation, so much so she almost fell, but Suzie managed to help her to lean against the wall while she caught her breath.
“Thshsssxstng,” Pippa said as she jumped towards the door, “cnwgwlkbt?”
Suzie nodded as she jumped over and opened the door, the six of us making our way along the corridor to where I could hear noises coming from another bedroom. “Ltsllknsd,” Suzie mumbled as we slowly approached the door.

I’m so glad Patty is so into the spirit of the games. And so do the others. I’m willing to bet the three were so excited and looking forward to being tied up like that all week.
If what happens next is what I expect would happen, that would be a very awkward introduction. As I remember, Hazel, Pippa, Claire, and Patty didn’t exactly know who Mary and Cathy and even Alicia are. I’d imagine Cassie and Suzie would lead them all to it, and when they enter, I’d imagine that Hazel, Pippa, Claire, and Patty would blush upon being seen tied up by strangers like that, and be surprised at the same time at seeing complete strangers tied up. Maybe Suzie could stand at the door so the others won’t be tempted to hop out of fright?
Seeing as Cassie and Suzie’s fingers were still free, maybe they can demonstrate their skills at untying knots? One, to show off to both the older girls and their new friends, and two, to untie themselves, and to introduce them to each other.
“This is Alicia, my cousin,” Suzie could say. “And their friends Mary and Cathy.”
The older girls would just nod.
“And this is my cousin Patty and my friend Hazel, Pippa, and Claire,” Cassie could finish, would hear only gagtalk in reply.
And perhaps untie the other girls so Cassie could teach Hazel and Pippa by making them tie up and gag Suzie and Claire while she showed them how to tie by again tying and gagging Patty up? And of course, Angela could come in and finish by tying Cassie.
All in front of the bound and gagged older girls. After all, they wouldn’t let them interrupt their study session, would they?
Anyway, lunch is near, so maybe the real introductions could be made there? Would we find out there, according to the hints to this story, what Alicia thinks? Or would we find out what she thinks further on?
Maybe next, after lunch, Cassie could tell them how to escape, and how to make sure one’s tie is inescapable? That would take a while, as the new girls probably would have difficulty feeling for ropes and knots without seeing those knots, something which to Suzie and Cassie, is now second nature. Oh and add the knotted towelling to the gag!
Would someone tell the story of the Family ghost to the new ones? Preferably in the dark, and tied up and gagged?
One thing is clear. It would be one crazy Saturday!!!
And Alicia interviewing her grandfather as a local celebrity seems almost cheating. But, some has advantages, and some do not. I’m sure the lesson won’t be lost on the others. When Cassie and Suzie would get that assignment in the future, they may interview Lord Holderness, or even Lady Holderness, or even DCI Hampton!!
Once again, an excellent update, KP!!
