From then on the spankings stopped and it was always the cane. There were several times when we were in the kitchen and for some misdemeanour the cane would come off the hook and I would bend over and have my skirt lifted or be told to lower my trousers for a couple of strokes and on other occasions Mrs B would cane me before bed.
I don’t know if it was co-incidence or not but she had told me she would cane me before bed that evening but she timed her arrival in my room as I returned from the bathroom still wet and wrapped in a towel. After removing the towel I had to bend over the bed then she gave six strokes of the cane. Mrs B seemed to take quite an interest in the marks afterwards
On several occasions Mr B also caned me and he always gave six and they hurt but it was special receiving corporal punishment from him as it was a no nonsense approach – six strokes and then nothing more was said.
After three years I was moving away and on the last day I thanked Mr and Mrs B for letting me have a room at their house.
“And the corporal punishment seems to have worked, my dear, you never forget chores now, do you?” Said Mrs B.
