S1E7 - 'The Tombola'
This week Belinda is finally free from the maze and takes part in a charity tombola. But, as always, it's more than meets the eye. The prizes are much more racy...

Found at 27:55:
Once the Duchess hosed Belinda down near the stables, she pushed her into a horse trailer that had a sofa and some drinks inside.

He says he still trusts his dad, but maybe not as he did as a young boy when he used to take him fishing. Nonetheless, he is understanding him on a different level throughout this process.
-
Coming out of the maze, Belinda is exhausted and exhilarated. Rocky Flintstone writes that she has a sixth sense she will never be able to opt out of the relationship she and Peter Rouse started in that short meeting. Peter is successful and dominating, and she decides she is too. Jamie says she has met her match, two equal parties. James doubts two dominating people can last. The sixth sense is not mystical. It is her certainty that the tie to Peter is already fixed. He is the Dutch client whose pots-and-pans business runs through Holland and Scandinavia and has just expanded into Spain and Portugal.
-
It seems like Belinda has met her match. They both seem like two very equal parties. James Cooper sees problems on the horizon because they are both two dominating partners.
-
Once a year, the Pots and Pans industries get together for an annual charity event that’s hosted by Sir James Godwin for the Asses and Donkey Trust.
-
The tall man running the tombola with Sir James tells the room that the prize is a real person. The highest bidder for each of the three women gets her as a servant for twelve hours and may take her home. There is one rule. A safe word, once spoken, stops the task and releases her from the twelve hours. The hosts say they have been to plenty of tombolas and none of them involved a safe word. The catch is that the servant must match the bidder's donation to the charity in order to have that safe word. The event is framed as a fundraiser. The prize is twelve hours of a person, not a bottle of lotion.
-
The one rule is that they have a safe word, which is thimble because it stops you from being pricked. The downside is that the servant has to match the donation bid that’s paid to charity.
-
Sir James Godwin's charity tombola auctions the services of three "very fine ladies." Jamie, James, and Alice immediately undercut the phrase. One woman is covered in mud, one is bald, and one has lipstick smeared around her face. Belinda Blumenthal is the muddy one. She thinks the auction might be fun, then realizes she has no idea what she is agreeing to. She shouts that she is game while trying to cover herself with her hands and arms. The other two agree as well. The tall host bows, someone bangs a gong, and the bidding is about to start. The twelve-hour term and the safe word come next.
-
The Duchess bids 200 pounds for Belinda. She is the lady wearing a white linen trouser suit and a Panama hat. At first, Belinda is devastated to receive this bidder.
