• Mads, Frandsens tidligere barnepige : Many years ago, I gave you such a spanking that I could feel it myself a long time afterwards... My, did that feel good... For the spanking you deserve today, I do not have enough strength, but, thank God, I can still give you a box on the ear!

Later on, when she really deserves your admiration, you treat her as your maidservant... until, someday, another man turns up and you feel that your vanity has been offended - then, suddenly, she is of value to you again!
