Baddeck and That Sort of Thing

Charles Dudley Warner

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "Baddeck, and That Sort of Thing," Charles Dudley Warner presents a keenly observed travel narrative that weaves together the picturesque landscape of Cape Breton and its cultural nuances. Warner's literary style merges humor and keen social commentary, reflecting the American preoccupation with the enchanting yet challenging relationship with nature and travel during the late 19th century. Within this context, the book serves as both a personal memoir and a broader critique of the American ethos, demonstrating Warner's ability to blend anecdotal evidence with pointed observations on society and culture. Charles Dudley Warner, a notable figure in the American literary canon, was deeply intertwined with the literary movements of his time, as a close friend of Mark Twain and an esteemed writer in his own right. His experiences as a traveler and his acute understanding of human folly and societal norms fueled his desire to encapsulate the essence of American life, particularly as it intersected with the great outdoors and the ideals of leisure and exploration. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in travel literature that offers both aesthetic enjoyment and thought-provoking insights. Warner's articulate prose invites readers to not only embark on a journey through the landscapes of Baddeck but also to engage with his reflections on the broader themes of life, society, and nature.

Marlee's Correction - A Sweet...

J.C. Cummings

Everybody makes mistakes. Even people as sweet, innocent, and well-behaved as Marlee Sanders. When this cute freshman is hired by her sociology professor to detail his car—and his car happens to be a very expensive sparkle-red Dodge Viper—well, even Marlee can buckle under the strain of temptation!

She just can't help it. She’s just so in love with this car. And she would give just about anything for just one chance to take that beauty out for a spin!

So, after her professor and his two college-age sons, Connor and Evan, go off to play golf, leaving her alone with the car, Marlee gives in to her desire. For the next hour, she is thrilled out of her mind as she cruises along the nearby highways and byways.

Until it starts to rain and snaps Marlee out of her reverie. She hurries back and starts to work on the car...

And not a minute too soon, for, just then, her professor and his sons return home from their rained-out golf game!

And they can plainly see that she’s done very little work on the car. Worse, while she’s in the bathroom, they check the odometer, and—uh, oh—they can also see that, in their absence, Marlee took their prized car for a joyride.

Marlee is in big trouble.

But she has no idea how big until her professor informs her that her punishment will consist of a bare-bottom spanking with all of them watching.

Lying across his knee, Marlee endures the worst humiliation of her life.

Then, even worse, her professor invites Connor and Evan to have a turn.

But her pain is short-lived, for when Evan has his turn, he can't bring himself to actually spank her—opting instead for gentle caresses and love-pats.

Apparently, Evan is the only one of the three with any measure of compassion, gentleness, and kindness.

And that is precisely why, when everything is all over, he finds himself being rewarded in the most erotically gratifying ways he ever could have imagined!
