M was then spanked with the flat of Miss C’s hand about twenty times after which she was in floods of tears.
I can’t remember what happened immediately afterward apart from Miss C telling us the matter was now closed.
I suspect M was allowed to go outside and recover her composure.
After school, we all followed M home and bombarded her with questions.
Her closest few friends were very protective and kept us at bay.
I vaguely recall a little more teasing and questioning the following day, but then the interest seemed to die down very quickly.
