“All right, you’ll be an owl for the Commander. But O, and I hope you forgive me, you’ll be taken on a leash. Natalie, go look in the top drawer of my desk, you’ll find a chain and some pliers.”

Natalie came back with the chain and pliers, which Sir Stephen used to force open the last link, fastened it to the second ring that O was wearing in her loins, then forced it closed again. The chain, similar to those used for dogs - in fact that was what it was - was between four and five feet long, with a leather strap on one end. After O had donned the mask, Sir Stephen told Natalie to take the end of the chain and walk around the room, ahead of O. Three times Natalie paraded around the room, trailing O behind her by the rings, O being naked and masked.
