Most of the tale takes place in a room in a house called 'The cubbyhole', which the storyteller, `` Deepak ``, converts into a sort of erotic torture bedroom equipped with bed to which cleaning lady can be strapped and held helpless and which is soundproofed to make their screeching unheard. other equipment includes corduroy and pulleys, tanning implements and a mechanical `` Chair of treason '' to which helpless females are lured to be restrained in.

from the Dairy of Mr. Deepak Kumar..

I will not train up the time of my lecturer by detailing the circumstance under which Leah, roused in me the desire for vengeance which resulted in the way I adopted and which I am about to relate. Suffice it then to say that Leah cruelly and unjustifiably jilted me ! In my bitterness of spirit, I swore that if I ever had an opportunity of getting custody of her, I would make her juicy someone recompense me for my disappointment and that I would abduct from her by personnel the groom 's privileges that I so ardently coveted. But I had to pretend ! Leah and I had many mutual friends to whom this rupture was unknown.

We were therefore constantly meeting each early, and if I gave her the flimsy clue of my intentions towards her, it would be fatal to the very dubious prospect of success that I had ! And so successfully did I conceal my very smell under a cloak of generous acceptance of her action that she had not the faintest idea ( as she afterwards admitted to me ) that I was playing a part.

But, as the byword says, everything comes to the man who can expect. For some considerable clock time, it seemed as if it would be wise on my part to abandon my desire for payback, as the context of our daily liveliness were such as did not predict the outback chance of my getting will power of Leah under experimental condition of either place or time suitable for the acquisition of my role. Nevertheless, I controlled my patience and hoped for the best, enduring as well as I could the torture of unsatisfied desire and increasing lust.

It then happened that I had function to change my residence, and in my lookup for fresh accommodation near my college in UK, I came across a modest suite of a sitting-room and two bedrooms which would by themselves have suited me excellently ; but with them, the landlord desired to let what he termed a box or lumber-room. I demurred to this addition, but as he remained firm, I asked to see the room. It was most curious both as regards admittance and appearance. The former was by a shortsighted transit from the landing, furnished with remarkably well-fitting doors at each end. The room was nearly square, of a goodness size and lofty, but the walls were unbroken, spare by the one entrance, lightness and air being derived from a skylight, or rather lantern, which occupied the not bad part of the roof and was supported by four firm and stout wooden pillars.

Further, the paries were thickly padded, while iron doughnut were let into them at regular distance all round in two rows, one close to the floor and the other about a stature of eight metrical foot ; from the roof beam of light dangled rope pulleys in couple between the column, while the two inlet on the entrance side, caused by the projection of the passageway into the elbow room, looked as if they had at one metre been separated from the rest of the way by BAR, almost as if they were cubicle. So strange indeed was the show of the whole room that I asked its history, and was informed that the star sign had been built as a private madcap mental institution at the sentence when the now unstylish square in which it stood was one of the centres of mode, and that this was the old 'mad-room'in which wild patients were confined, the dash, rings and pulley block being used to restrain them when very violent, while the padding and the doubly doors made the room absolutely soundproof and prevented the ravings of the inmates from annoying the neighbours. The landlord added that the soundproof quality was no fiction as the room had frequently been tested by incredulous visitors.

Like lightning the thought flashed through my brain. Was not this way the very space for the consummation of my dodge of revenge ? If I succeeded in luring Leah into it, she would be completely at my mercifulness, for her screams for aid would not be heard and would only increase my pleasure, while the bolts, closed chain, pulley block, etc., supplemented with a petty suitable furniture, would enable me to batten her in any way I wished and to curb her fixed while I amused myself with her. Delighted with the idea, I agreed to include the room in my suite.

Quietly, but with deep forethought and preparation, I got certain piece of furniture made which, while in outward appearance most innocent, as well as about easy, was in truth full of veil mechanics planned for the extra discomfiture of any woman or girl that I might care to adjudge in physical ascendence. I had the floor covered with thick Persian carpets and rugs, and the two bay converted into nominal photographic testing ground, but in a way that made them worthy for lavatories and dressing-rooms. When completed, the 'Pigeonhole'( as I christened it ) was in appearance a distinctly somewhat and comfortable room, while in reality it was nil more or less than a masked straining sleeping room !

And now came the hard piece of my scheme.

How to frame Leah ? Unfortunately she was not residing in London but a trivial way out. She lived with a espouse sister, and never seemed to fare to Ithiel Town except in her sis 's fellowship. My difficulty was therefore how to get Leah by herself for a sufficiently long metre to accomplish my design, and sorely I cudgelled my learning ability over this job !

The sisters frequently visited townspeople at irregular interval as dictated by the contingency of mixer responsibility or shopping. True to my policy of having friendly relation back I had welcomed them to my room for residuum and refreshment and had encouraged them to use my tail ; and partly because of the propinquity of the room to regent Street, partly because of the very dainty repast I invariably placed before them, but mainly because of the soothing restfulness induced by the inviolable repose of the Pigeonhole after the bellowing and turmoil of the streets, it soon became their regular drill to reward me with their ship's company for lunch or tea whenever they came to town and had no peculiar engagement. I need hardly add that secretly I hoped these visits might get me an opportunity of executing my revenge, but for some month I seemed doomed to disappointment.

I used to tolerate the twisting of Tantalus when I saw Leah unsuspectingly braving me in the very room I had prepared for her trespass, within real reach of me and of hidden machinery that would pose her at my disposal, did I set it working, were it not for her Sister 's presence ! In fact, so keenly did I feel the side that I began to design the capture of both sisters together, to admit Lana in the penalty designed for Leah, and the estimate in itself was not unpleasing, as Lana was a fine specimen of distaff pulp and blood of a large and more stately type than Leah ( who was 'petite'), and one could do much worse than have her at one 's disposal for an 60 minutes or two to feel and hump ! So seriously did I hold this labor, that I got an armchair made in such a way that the releasing of a unavowed pinch would set free mechanics that would be actuated by the weight unit of the occupant and would cause the blazonry to fold inwards and firmly incarcerate the setting hen. Furnished with luxurious upholstery and the catch fixed, it made the most inviting of electric chair, and from its first appearance, Leah took possession of it, in well-chosen ignorance that it was intended to hold her firmly imprisoned while I tackled and secured Lana !

Before, however, I resorted to this desperate measure, my forbearance was rewarded ! And this is how it happened.

One evening, the familiar banker's bill came to say the sisters were coming to Town on the adjacent day and would come for lunch. A little before the appointed hour Leah, to my surprisal, appeared alone ! She said that, after the note had been posted, Lana became ill and had been very poorly all night and so could not come to town, though well. The shopping interlocking was one of considerable importance to Leah, and therefore she had come up alone ; she had called to explain affair to me, but would not end to lunch, she would get a cup of tea and a bun somewhere.

Against this desertion of me, I vigorously protested, but I doubt if I would get induced her to delay had not a smart shower of pelting come on. This made her hesitate about going out into it with the dress she was wearing, as it would be ruined, and finally she consented to feature tiffin and leave immediately afterwards.

While she was away in the spare bedroom used by the babe on their visits, I was in a veritable turmoil of excitation ! Leah in my rooms by herself ! It seemed too respectable to be confessedly ! But I remembered I yet had to get her into the cubbyhole ; she was absolutely safety from my aim everywhere but there ! But it was imperative that she should be in no way alarmed, and so, with a strong attempt, I controlled my panting excitement, and by the time Leah rejoined me in the dining room I was my usual self.

Lunch was quickly served. At first, Leah seemed a little nervous and constrained, but by kid-glove conversation, I soon set her at ease and she then chatted away naturally and merrily. I had craftily placed her with her back to the window so that she should not note signs that a bad tempest was brewing : and soon, with gratification, I saw that the weather was getting forged and worse ! But it might at any minute Menachem Begin to elucidate away, and so the sooner I could get her into my cubbyhole, the intimately for me - and the worse for her ! So, by every means in my power, I hurried on the procedure of lunch.

Leah was leisurely finishing her coffee bean when a rattle of rainwater against the window Lucy in the sky with diamonds, followed by an threatening growl of thunder, made her start from her chair and go to the casement. 'Oh ! barely flavour at the rainfall !'she exclaimed in dismay, 'how very inauspicious !'

I joined her at the windowpane : 'By Jupiter, it is bad !'I replied, then added, 'and it looks like lasting. I hope that you have no of import conflict for the afternoon that will go on you much in the undefendable ?'As I spoke, there came a vivid photoflash of lightning closely followed by a peal of skag, which sent Leah staggering backwards with a scare away face.

'Oh !'she exclaimed, evidently frightened ; then, after a pause ,'I am a horrid little Coward about thunderstorms : they just terrorise me !'

'Wo n't you then take asylum in the pigeonhole ?'I asked with a innkeeper 's look of business organization .'I do n't think you will see the lightning there and you certainly wo n't get word the scag, as the room is soundproof. Shall we go there ?'and I opened the door invitingly.

Leah hesitated. Was her guardian angel trying to give her a precursory hint of what her fate would be if she accepted my seemingly free hypnotism ? But at that moment came another flash of lightning, blinding in its intensiveness, and almost simultaneously a yowl of nose drops. This settled the question in my favour ! 'Yes, yes !'she exclaimed, then ran out. I closely following her, my heart beating exultingly ! Quickly she passed through the double doors into the Pigeonhole, the gob I had so carefully set for her ! Noiselessly I bolted the outer threshold, then closed the inner one. Leah was now mine ! mine ! ! At terminal I had entrapped her ! Now my vengeance was about to be consummated ! Now her chaste virgin self was to be submitted to my lecherousness and compelled to gratify my erotic desires ! She was utterly at my mercy, and promptly I proceeded to work my cruel will on her !
