Part One

Chapter One: The Early Years

Samantha Ann Penwortham was born in a working class area close to Preston, Lancashire. Her ancestors had lived in the village of Penwortham for centuries, and had adopted it as their surname many generations ago. A quaint little town on the banks of the River Ribble, it was first settled in pre-historic times and was mentioned in the Doomsday book as ‘Penverdant.’  The remains of an old Motte and Bailey castle constructed in Norman times is situated at the northern end of the town, next to a crossing over the River Ribble.

Samantha’s father was a talentless and unimaginative slightly left wing worker at the nearby Leyland car plant.  But it was her mother, Ann who was the dominant influence in Samantha’s early life. An uneducated woman from the Isle of Man, she repeatedly made it plain that leaving that island was the worst decision of her life.

She was a morose woman, who had a repressive influence on Samantha’s sexual development. She encouraged Samantha to associate with the ‘less dangerous’ effeminate boys at her school. The more clearly heterosexual boys she discouraged Samantha from associating with. This pushed Samantha down a path that she would follow through her life; an admiration for homosexuals.

Because the family lived in a cottage named ‘Oak Tree House’ her school friends nicknamed her ‘Woodie,’ and much to her displeasure, teased her by singing the ‘Woody Woodpecker Song’ when she was anywhere nearby. Simply hearing the song on television began to annoy and embarrass her.

She had average intelligence, but was adored by the primary school English teacher, a Miss Prism. Consequently, in order to please Miss Prism, Samantha worked hard reading and learning English grammar at home. Soon, she excelled in English and was winning awards at the school. Her peers began to call her the ‘teacher’s pet’ and other derogatory names.

Samantha waited until her late teens before she first experienced sex. After her first sexual encounter, which she had approached with trepidation, she began to wonder what all the fuss had been about. She soon found that, ‘normal’ sex did not hold much appeal for her. After having several unsuccessful sexual encounters, she found herself in a relationship with a bisexual man, who to use a euphemism, ‘batted for both sides.’ She was introduced to a new form of sex that appealed to her.

After finishing secondary school with good but not brilliant ‘A’ levels, she found a job working as a trainee secretary at a local milliner’s firm. She developed an interest in hats as a fashion item. She kept a favorite photograph of herself in a frame on her desk, in which she was sat on the window ledge of her office wearing her favorite style of hat — a French beret.

As the firm she worked for produced a lot of hats for the French market, she was encouraged to attend a French language course at the local technical college where she scored a high mark at ‘A’ level. The company sent her on a couple of trips to France to meet some of their customers.

It wasn’t long before Samantha was having sexual liaisons with some of the French managers, and even went on a sea cruise with one of them called Pierre. Unbeknown to Samantha, he was married and a French security agent. Under pressure from Pierre, Samantha now became an informer for the French security services.

Whilst working at the milliner’s, she had joined a Lancashire witch’s coven where she keenly took part in perverted satanic sexual rituals, for the pleasure of the Satanists and of course, herself. She had been introduced to the sect by some of her ‘effeminate’ male friends.

Unfortunately, when Pierre’s wife found out about his ‘liaisons’ and divorced him, it created a scandal back at the milliner’s firm. When Pierre’s wife later committed suicide and his two boys turned to drugs as a result of the embarrassment her affair had caused the family, the milliner’s office became a hotbed of rumors about her sexual practices. Many of her fellow workers despised her, but Samantha did not care.

All this scandal had no effect on Miss Penwortham. Many people she worked with felt she had no conscience. Indeed, she did not. When the atmosphere at her work place became unpleasant, she simply left and went to the University of Belvoir to study English literature and linguistics. She left the milliners under a cloud.

Chapter Two: An Undergraduate at University

Her tutor in the English Department at Belvoir University was a left wing homosexual who had connections in the music industry.

Through her University tutor, she became acquainted with a number of people in the song writing industry. In particular, she became acquainted with a famous composer, who was openly homosexual, a native of Lancashire and who had written many works of contemporary music. She had several affairs with homosexuals connected with him, where she played the role that gave her sexual pleasure. One of these ‘lovers’ was an artist who gave her a pencil sketch entitled ‘A Scene for Samantha’ which she proudly kept in a frame on her study wall.

In her spare time at Belvoir University she worked as a prostitute and sold her body to a number of the University staff. She knew all the secret entrances into the main hotels in Belvoir. On several occasions she contracted venereal disease and went to the local STD clinic for treatment. One visit was attended by a trainee doctor who she knew at the University. This did not bother her since she knew he could say nothing as part of his Hippocratic Oath. She also had sex with lecturers which helped her ‘enhance’ her grades. She essentially slept her way to an honors degree.
