The office was large, and I knew with the head pacing about he was going to have a bit of a run up to thrash me.
That first stroke was agony…..the footsteps…..the swish…the crack on landing…..it made me gasp with pain.
Again…..pacing…..increased heavy steps…..swish…crack!
All this, with the caretaker looking on…..he must have felt very pleased with himself……catching a boy and hanging around to see him getting a beating !
My bottom took the next two strokes….. I tried to stand up straight after my punishment and thank the headmaster, I told him how sorry I was.
