I had quite forgotten getting the shakes before I was formally beaten.

I can clearly remember being told to wait in the room while the slipper was fetched.

I started getting the shakes when I saw it in the teacher’s hand on his return.

It got worse when he told me I was getting 6 of the slipper and was almost incapacitating when he told me to bend over, and asked me if I was ready.

I could hardly get the required words ‘yes sir’ out properly, but did so, and was then beaten as prescribed.
