Paulette trahie (Paulette Betrayed) was deliberately marketed by Charles Fort’s Collections des Orties Blanches as a sequel to Monsieur Paulette et ses épouses of a year earlier, though beyond the name Paulette it actually bears little relation. The well-written and engaging narrative of Paulette trahie by Malteste/d’Icy follows the career of the eponymous heroine from a slap-happy mother and a punishment-rich convent education to a secluded villa in the Rue Danou, where flagellation of all kinds has reached the peak of perfection. The young women are well-trained and clearly revel in their sado-masochistic practices, while the well-heeled men are happy to spend their money experimenting on fleshy nubile buttocks.
In 1975 a good English translation of Paulette trahie was published by London-based Janus Publications as Paulette Betrayed, along with the (poorly reproduced) Malteste illustrations of the Collections des Orties Blanches edition plus another six from Les mains chéries.
Here is a typical extract from Paulette trahie:
It was Rosa who smacked best of all the women at the villa. I preferred her way of doing it. She was strong, too, and had the sort of hand which is necessary. You know the sort of hand I mean: fleshy, with thick palms, and all the mounts well marked, especially that of Venus. That's the one at the base of the thumb. Hers was enormous. Her fingers were fleshy, too, almost as if they were padded. Hands like that give the best spankings!
Yes, Rosa was certainly something special! Physically she was very interesting. She was tall, with large jutting breasts. In spite of this she wasn’t fat, in fact she was rather slender, but she had an extraordinary pair of buttocks. They were large – but not too large – and very fleshy; just made for spanking!
Sometimes we tied Rosa up. This was my idea, naturally. We did this over a large, solid, oak bench. It seemed expressly made for the purpose of punishment, and Rosa didn’t object. After all, she’d seen just about everything in the Rue Danou.
The first time we had her spreadeagled on the bench with her elbows and legs secured, I gave her a very careful spanking with my hand. Then I began to experiment with two canes I’d brought with me; and then, Gosse, I went on to use nettles!
