Of course, everyone else in the class knew why you and she left.
Miss Cuthbert was in her early 30s, a very beautiful woman and an excellent gymnast.
Rumour had it that she was a lesbian, which may have been true.
Anyhow, she was clearly a no-nonsense woman whom I think, deep down, enjoyed paddling her students’ bottoms.
I always hoped that if there were others to be done, I would be paddled first.
Listening to the howls and cries of others getting it in Miss Cuthbert’s office behind the closed door was torture and my legs would be wobbling just listening to the punishment.
Then, seeing a crying girl shuffle out of her office made you just want to die.
When you got into her office it was a businesslike affair.
