Oh, sister 35. (Memoirs of Nerys Jones vii)

We had a visit from Sally McGhee

Or should I say Lady Montgomery

She was still Sally to me

And talkin’ all posh was she

Forgettin’ that it was only Siobhan, Nancy and me

Dean had gone

We’d told him that behaviour like that just wasn’t on 

We’d had enough of his drinkin’ sprees

And despite his pleas

I said to him, “Out, we’re tired of you thinkin’ that you can do as you please.”

So he left and never came back

And neither did Nancy’s Jack

But I was on about our visit from Sally McGhee

His Lordship was havin’ a party and invited us three

Well, she was the one that made him agree

As it was meant to be for a select few

He even gave her money too

For our shoes and dresses

And to go to a fancy place to sort our tresses

She didn’t linger

Already she had him twisted around her finger

I asked her how she got it right to get us an invite

Considerin’ that there’d only be special guests that night

“Curiosity killed the cat,” she said and left it at that.

The night started off like a dream

Us little whores got to mix with the cream

And they were ever so kind

Cheerfully chattin’ while we wined and dined

But as soon as the staff were sent away

That was the signal for the toffs to play

And as soon as they closed the doors

We went back to bein’ whores

Well, Nancy, Siobhan and me

Certainly not Lady Montgomery

We were ordered to strip and lie on the table

By the popinjays and the completely unstable

And if you think that was rude

We were told to lie still and covered with food

In my life as a whore I’ve had some strange requests

And more than my fair share of peculiar pests

But never once did I contemplate

That I’d become a human plate

Completely motionless while the privileged ate

And when they were done

The women moved back to let the men have their fun

They applauded and shrieked like they were truly elated

While us whores and the men fornicated

I caught sight of Sally and saw her cry

And heard her yell at his Lordship, “Why, Hugh, why?”

“Because they’ve had a taste of what it’s like to be rich!” he roared. “And now it’s back to reality, you stupid little bitch!”

I saw the sympathetic faces of Robert and Yvette

But there were looks of scorn from the rest of the set

Tears streamed from Sally’s eyes

“I didn’t know that this was going to happen,” she said to us. “I do apologise.”

“Meddling in my affairs is something you’ll regret,” Lord Montgomery told her. “If I want something, I’ll damn well get. Now watch what I do to the lovely Yvette. She is one who understands the consequences of refusing my demands.”

Yvette stripped naked when he clapped his hands

“You see,” he said and stripped naked too. “Come and kneel before me Yvette. Show them what you can do.”

Robert tried to interfere

But the other men surrounded him and wouldn’t let him near

“Oh, Lord Brown,” said Montgomery as Yvette went down. “Control is how the gentry get their thrill. We smile with satisfaction as we go for the kill. You’ll have to abandon compassion if you want to join our squad. Only then will you feel like a god.”
