This episode introduces Lucille before the convent walls ever close around her. The author and narrator introduces herself in a short letter to her cousin. We, then, witness her education in shame, obedience, and dangerous curiosity. Under the dark-eyed Miss Birch and a father who insists on “proper correction,” Lucille’s first punishments awaken sensations she cannot yet name—setting the stage for a life in which punishment and pleasure will never again be easily untangled.

Listen, and hear the first stripes.
