223 pp. A pornographic novel. "At Schloss Rutenberg, girls find the meaning of discipline." A poem by George Colman, "Squire Hardman," serves as an epigraph. The book 's prologue begins: 'The year was 1729. The winter on the plain north of Rathenow promised particular severity, even in October. It was sixteen years since Friedrich Wilhelm I, the "Royal Drill Sergeant" as he was called in the courtyards and corridors of European ministries, had become the first Hohenzollern ruler of Brandenburg and established such rigorous discipline as the keynote of his State that it was now widely known as "the Land of the Corporal's Stick."' Chapter One: 'It was a long, high room with pointed windows, barred on the inside and a vaulted oaken ceiling. Ranged in seemingly endless regularity across this space were a number of desks, at which worked girls of various ages between, approximately, fourteen to seventeen. At the far end, under a large oil lamp, stood a mistress, behind a pulpit desk of impressive proportions. Over her head - or rather behind it - ranged a colossal clock, and by her side was a bucket, in which steeped long birch-rods.' The book concludes with a Jacqueline Bellais learning the 'true meaning of Prussian discipline.'
