In completely unrelated news, Trader Joe's dark chocolate covered edamame are delicious. I'm having some people over tonight and bought them for snacks. My guests had better arrive in a timely fashion, or they'll be SOL.
I've tried to march in the Slayer Pride Parade ...

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Whoa. He hasn't punished her physically yet. But when he thinks she's lied to him, he's about to whip her with a riding crop. (She's saved at the last moment, by his younger sister, who's a few years older than Elsie, telling him that Elsie was telling the truth.)

(This book, as well as nearly all the sequels, are up at Project Gutenberg, in case anyone else wants to experience the horror for themselves.)

Feh. At this point I think if he had whipped her she would have felt she deserved it because she should have been more articulate with the truth or maybe because she lied in the past.
I hate to blame the victim, but dude.

Three times so far, he's punished her unjustly, or came very close to it, and then within a day promised her that he would be less stern and frightening. And every time, she responds that she loves him.

Ew. A passage that begins with
Mr. Dinsmore sat there a long time with his little daughter on his knee, caressing her more tenderly than ever before;
ends with him finding a locket that she always wears tucked under her dress.

Does anyone who reads these, at least modern humans who read these, come out with anything other than "EEWWWW! GROSS! SICK! TWISTED! WRONG!"?

Seriously, is this a book about God, or about BDSM?

I need to shower. I think I still have some of that link on me.
