Outside the Heads Office28

The head arrived at ten to nine, entered his office with the caretaker. After what appeared an age, the door opened and I was summoned into the huge office. The head and school caretaker both stood there, the head had a cane in his hand and proceeded to lecture me about my wrongdoings…
The head told me he was going to give me four strokes of the cane and ordered me to remove my blazer and place it over the back of his armchair.
I was told to bend over and touch my toes. I felt so vulnerable as I knew my trousers were so thin and that cane was going to hurt like hell.
