After an animated party, my friend Dula and I remain at the club, keeping a slave with us as we have not yet finished playing. We secure him to a pillory and remove his mask, both to see the face of this inferior being and to carry out our plan of slapping him hard, warming our hands in the process. We take turns or slap him simultaneously, one cheek each, until our hands are warm and his face is purple. Once we are done, we leave him tied up, perhaps someone will release him the next day?
