Shannon and Marcy shifted nervously in their seats. Mrs McCallum looked up and began to lecture her two charges. “Shannon and Marcy: You have broken a very important rule, one made for your own safety and you did this knowingly. Your actions have consequences, in this instance I can deal with it, but it could have been much worse. At this school Marcy, I stand in for your parents when they are away; this has been discussed with you. I have no choice but to administer a salutary punishment to ensure this never recurs, you will each be given eight strokes of the strap. In addition you are restricted to the grounds of the school for one month unless accompanied by an adult.
