Miss E caned quite hard or so I thought at the time and delivered all four strokes across my bottom without delay. She told me to stand send Bridget in. I stood up and tidied my gymslip and left the room. I couldn’t speak to Bridget but she knew to go in. I paused for a moment and rubbed my backside and heard Bridget receive her caning and then hurried away before she emerged from the Headmistress’s study.
I was at that boarding school for two more years and despite best efforts picked up four detentions. I was also slippered once with two other girls for being slow to shower and change after hockey but I did not get the cane again.
