Marcy began bawling, shortly followed by Shannon, the pain was so great. They both began to furiously shake their hands, but Virginia quickly stopped that. “Hands at your sides! Do you want extra; I’m in just the mood to dish out extra! You both know what you did was wrong, now take your punishment properly. Let this lesson be remembered by both of you for a long time!” Virginia paused a while longer prior to giving the last two to each girl. Virginia made the last two the hardest of all, better to bring home the lesson. Both girls were bawling, and looked very well chastened. “Stand still, hands at your sides.” Virginia put the strap on her desk and sat down to record the punishments in her book.
