Part 1. Daddy's Little Girl

Agnes receives a telegram. Daddy is dead.

She returns to the family château and returns to her past. She finds the coloured story book which she read as a child, and the images in the book provoke memories.

How much she loved her Daddy. How handsome he was in his uniform. How excited she would be when they played her favourite game of Blindman, leading Daddy through the woods, or when she would watch him with the birds that he loved so much, his falcons and eagles. One day, would she be as free as one of his birds, to fly away, or would she always return as if held by an invisible thread?

But there are other images, other memories. There was the monster. Who was he? What was he? Was it a dream or was it really Daddy? One day in the woods, as they were playing Blindman, what happened? Why was Daddy on his knees, why did he say "Don't tell Mummy, don't tell Mummy ..."

Daddy on his knees. How ridiculous he was, how absurd he appeared, how pompous and aloof he was with everyone, especially Mummy, and what was that strange game they would play together, where he seemed to want to kill her? And why did Daddy enjoy punishing her so much?

Perhaps Mummy knew. She said Daddy was like all men ... and the worst of them all.

One day, when she was grown up, she had hoped to marry Daddy. Or perhaps she would have to kill him. Which? [End Page 603]

Part 2. I'm a Big Girl Now

Agnes is grown up. She is very much a woman of the world. Now that Daddy is dead, she feels free to "tell him" the whole truth, all those things about herself and Mummy, that he refused to see. Blindman, Blindman, powerless in his wheelchair ...

How she would enjoy showing him what her real fantasies were. For example, why couldn't she go to a brothel, where there were men for sale, and buy a young man, as he could always buy a young girl?

How she longed to show him what Mummy was really like ... not at all enslaved. She was as free to enjoy herself as he was. What a good time they would have together. How beautiful Mummy was, how sexy ...

In comparison, how pompous Daddy was, especially with the servants. How much better he would look himself, serving the ladies, cleaning their shoes, obeying their orders, barking like a dog.

And the game of Blindman would be so much more fun if she and Mummy had played it together, with Daddy on his knees ... begging to see her take her clothes off.

It is Daddy's birthday. Agnes has bought him a present. One of her girlfriends from the convent has come to have tea with them. As Daddy is so helpless in his wheelchair, Agnes will prepare her girlfriend for him. After all, she knows how he likes his girls ... so young, so virginal. Agnes teaches her what to do, what to wear, what to say, how to seduce Daddy and get everything she wants from him.

But who is this little girl? As she dreams, perhaps it is Agnes herself. For who could prevent the little girl's dreams, of when she would be grown up and sexy? One day she would dance for Daddy, and for herself of course, and show him just how sexy she really was. So much so that he would even be prepared to buy her. Not that he could touch her of course. Anyone else, yes, but not him. He was her Daddy. She would prefer to preserve herself for her girlfriends, for the young girls she would take into the woods and play Blindman with, and seduce.

One last trick though, before the girl is ready to be offered to Daddy. Agnes must teach her how to fake the orgasm. When she can do it well, then she is ready to play the game ... she is ready for Daddy. Except that Agnes may...
