Then another four followed at regular intervals.
I was then told to stand and to sign the punishment book, and sent outside.

We were all called back in and given our skirts back.
Then we were each given a sash to wear for the next week.
I was told that because I was already wearing one red sash I would also have to wear a second as I had been slippered twice.
I returned to our dorm and just lay face down on the bed and the tears rolled.
About ten minutes later Julie arrived and said she was sorry but that she had no alternative.
