He told me to put my hands on his desk. He squeezed around the desk (it was a small room) behind me and turned up my blazer at the back. There was whirr and a dull thud and almost immediately a repeat of the same. It was uncomfortable rather than painful; I never saw his cane. In a way I think I was a bit disappointed – all this stuff about not being able to sit down for hours, leaping up with surprise and pain. By the time I’d walked down the corridor back to my class, any discomfort had gone. If anything, the application of the slipper to thin PE shorts was more painful.
