As was his habit on waking, even before opening his eyes Fred attempted to
stretch, only to meet unexpected resistance. That brought him wide awake
and his eyes flew open. He found himself looking at the face of the still
sleeping Astra from a distance of a few inches. They were both lying on
their sides, facing one other.
Fred was very embarrassed to find himself securely bound to the naked Astra, and sharing her bed. The only consolation was that at least he was still fully dressed. The piece of rope that was responsible for his predicament tied his wrists together behind Astra's back; then it passed round her waist, with so little slack that the palms of his hands were kept on her buttocks, and then round his own waist; finally Astra's wrists were tied together behind his own back, with her hands on his buttocks. How had whoever was responsible managed to get into the room? The bucket was no longer in place, but he had not been woken by the sound of its falling. Had he slept too soundly, or had whoever it was somehow managed to remove the bucket without making a noise? Even if they had managed this, how could he have been tied up without his waking up?
