The police left, and she proceeded to tear into us, telling us in no uncertain terms, how we were “lucky not to be getting a criminal record” and how we had, “brought shame on the school” with our actions. She then told us we were each to receive the maximum six strokes of the cane.
We each in turn had to bend over the big old oak desk in her study, where she folded back our skirts and gave us Six real stingers across our knickers.
I had been caned before, 4 strokes for smoking, but she really laid it on and was easily the most severe punishment I ever received.
Tell you what though, I’ve never stolen anything since.
