Liz had slipped on a pair of wrist length latex gloves, picked up the cellar key then padded softly down the stairs to the house's lower level. Feeling a slight change of temperature seep through her shiny second skin, she stood behind the heavy cellar door and picked up a riding crop from an umbrella stand situated to the left of her, which contained other crops and whips and of course three obligitary umbrellas. Putting her ear next to the stout wood, she listened intently to mr and mrs Gilmore on the other side and imagined them frantically trying to put themselves back into some form of presentable order.

Knowing that she had all the keys to any of the lockable equipment tucked away in a little safe inside one of the oak trunks in the cellar, mrs. Gilmore was stuck in the stocks until she decided otherwise.

"The first rule of using anything that locks, make sure you have the keys first. I'm afraid someone will have to be punished for that little error" Liz giggled." First thing is first though, reactions being top of the list!"

With a theatical flourish Liz put the key in the lock and turned it painfully slow, just to get the Gilmore's attention. She opened the door even slower, making it creak on it's one hundred year old hinges.

The latex clad Liz took two steps into the cellar and looked slowly from left to right, finally settling her eyes onto the couple. She stood there motionless for a few seconds, then turned her body to face them directly. She pushed the door with the handle end of her crop just enough so it wouldn't slam shut.

Without a single word spoken Liz kept on looking at the Gilmore's steadily. "What a wonderful sight these two are" Liz thought to herself. "Mrs Gilmore trapped in the stocks and mr. Gilmore heaving from his gallant efforts having tried to free her with no success. All very nice"

Liz could feel the cold of the floor coming through the latex now, so she would have to move around soon and put on some suitable footwear. "Don't want to get cold toes, so that could be a little first task for one of them if they are agreeable to playing with me" she mused.
