In the 1950s, my small rural Prep School was very well organised: there was a bureaucratic system in place to ensure victims got their canings! But like all systems, the unexpected could defeat it. Quite early in my stay there, I made the mistake of angering the old Assistant Head early in the day. I cannot remember how, but he told me to… Meet Him at the Headmasters Study After Lunch…. The Head was away, so like Mimi, I was fairly bricking it, as the Old Man had a formidable reputation with the cane when he stood in for the Head.
