I have recently come into possession of the book passed to me to hold since I am the chronicler of the family he feels I should hold it. I have mixed feelings about this part of me is sad realizing yes they have really passed on and fear that I can handle the responsibility lucky for me it is not just for me to handle it also will be shared with whoever my Dom will be as the book is in two parts one for sub's to the house and one to the Dom's of the house. it lists the rules for both that must be sworn to for both as well as rules for those who wish to be in service to the house. And these will be listed in order of importance first will be the role and rules of the Dom's. They will be given in both sir James writing and then the clarification that Jane wrote out as sir James could be rather gruff in his wording.
put your money where your mouth is or move on. no one plays for free sir James
What this means is very simple you must be able to demonstrate that you can afford a sub. It is strongly suggested that you have no more then two subs. and no mistresses.
now for the more important rules to a woman.
1) you must be able to meet your responsibilities to your sub this means roof over the head cloths on her back food in her belly. This also means emotional these will Varey and be part of your bond under non-negotiables. There are negotiables that may change over time.
2) You will learn to dominate without the use of hands or words of humiliation these are only for agreed play between you and your sub.
3) In this house you make the time to talk to each sub to understand and meet there need's and want's as these can change often without warning.
4) Know themselves, you must learn everything about yourself and be in control of yourself at all times A Dom does not lose his temper.
5) And what is considered the most important rule of dominance YOUR SUB COMES FIRST and no this does not mean sex he/she must always feel she is valued above all thing's
There are other rules but these mentioned are the top five not in order of importance depending, as importance is subject to each other.
