There are days when a girl just needs some help with her work. I’m incredibly busy just now, and as I split various assignments into pieces of “homework”, I imagine having a strict person who would sit next to me as I work, pointing out mistakes, praising good work, an giving me an occassional smack when my gaze starts drifting towards the window.
The only thing is, I can’t decide whether this person should be my governess, who spends all day with me, making sure that everything I do is just right – or a tutor, who arrives at an appointed hour specifically to help with my homework.
Both are strict. Both have my best interest in mind, even as they smack my bottom for some little misdeed or another. Except, if I have a tutor, he could also appeal to my governess afterwards if my efforts are not up to scratch, and then I’d have both of them to explain myself to.
I can’t really choose. But I’m clearly in need of one or the other…
Ooooh what a nice choice to be dreaming about. I think you need both!
Obviously, you need both. You should have a governess that hands you off to the tutor for your school tasks. The two should have a contract, so that if you are just a little bad, the tutor takes care of it. Otherwise, she gives you a sealed envelop to take to your governess, who will read the contents and then take care of the matter after you finish your school work for the day.
