“Edith, you have my permission, at any time, and without notice, to paddle this little boy’s b bottom at your discretion.” Then to Billy, “And now young Mr. Horton, we are going home where you’ll spend the rest of the day in your room. And if I hear one peep out of you, the entire neighborhood will hear you screaming from the next spanking I’ll give you.” Gripping his hand firmly, Blanche tugged Billy toward Edith’s rear door. She made no effort to retrieve or replace Billy’s bathing suit which he’d kicked across the room, and he was terrified of what might happen if he said something or tried to get the suit himself.
