When the sensations finally ceased Tess heard La Patronne saying, 'You see, my dear? Jem is never wrong. Tess will flourish in my little house.' 
 
'I have to agree,' the Chatelaine said, 'She is yours. For the time being, I assume I may punish her again before you take her away from Paris? You know how I like to put these statuesque blondes through their paces.' 
 
'Of course my dear. You may deal with her as severely as you wish. But do remember that for Tess the real punishment is being made aware of how much she deserves to be punished. In my House she'll learn the true meaning of shame.' 
 
Drawn from her sheltered life when her housekeeper Tess goes missing, Amanda goes to France in an attempt to find her.
