Publisher's Synopsis
The narrator of the story, a wealthy young man, meets a youth one day — the "Frank" of the title — and, struck by his beauty and good manners, invites him to come home with him. He quickly discovers that his charge displays an unacceptable lack of obedience and consequently he commences to flog him in the traditional and humiliating English manner. One can only imagine his surprise when the young man turns out to be a young woman with beguiling charms.
