A Daughter's Caning
|
|
|
|
About five years ago I was surprised to be telephoned by Mrs
|
|
Webb, the headmistress of my daughter's school. She told me
|
|
that Vikki, who was then fifteen years old and in the fifth
|
|
year, together with several other girls, had 'rioted' on a
|
|
school coach and asked if I objected to her receiving a
|
|
caning. Vikki's mother died many years ago and I have brought
|
|
her up by myself. I did not answer the headmistress
|
|
immediately. I knew from Vikki that corporal punishment at
|
|
her school was almost always given on the bottom with hand
|
|
canings a very rare alternative. Vikki had never received a
|
|
proper spanking in her life. However Mrs Webb told me that
|
|
the only alternative was suspension which would certainly
|
|
adversely affect her in the exams she was taking later that
|
|
year. She said that all the other parents she had contacted
|
|
so far had agreed. I asked for more details of the 'riot' and
|
|
what exactly my daughter had done.
|
|
|
|
She told me that some girls, my daughter among them, had
|
|
brought alcohol and cigarettes on to the coach. Subsequently
|
|
fights had broken out. Bottles had actually been thrown
|
|
through the coach windows on to the road. The driver had been
|
|
terrified. All the girls on the coach were to be punished but
|
|
only the ringleaders and those most involved in the fighting
|
|
were to be caned. Vikki had admitted bringing four cans of
|
|
lager on to the coach. Mrs Webb also said that if I agreed
|
|
she would have no objection to allowing me to witness the
|
|
canings so that I could see for myself that the punishments
|
|
were not excessive. After some thought I gave my permission.
|
|
|
|
I left work early and drove to the school. I got there just
|
|
before 3.34 pm and went to Mrs Webb's office. There were four
|
|
or five mothers of other girls, some of whom I knew slightly,
|
|
and one other man already there. After a few minutes two more
|
|
women arrived. One was Mrs Roberts, the mother of Melanie,
|
|
Vikki's best friend. Mrs Webb told us that the girls were
|
|
waiting in the Hall and then went to a cupboard and selected
|
|
two canes, both a little more than two feet six inches long.
|
|
She told us that she was very sorry that she had to administer
|
|
corporal punishment but that she couldn't help feeling that
|
|
some of the blame was due with us, the parents, for not being
|
|
strict enough with our daughters. She led the way to the
|
|
Hall.
|
|
|
|
The girls were waiting lined up by one of the walls. I was
|
|
surprised to see how many of them there were. Fifteen girls
|
|
were standing there silently under the eye of a young and
|
|
athletic looking teacher who, my daughter told me later, was
|
|
Miss Baker, the gym mistress. Vikki looked terribly
|
|
frightened and didn't look at me as we walked in. Two of the
|
|
other girls particularly attracted my attention: a very pretty
|
|
girl in full make up wearing a denim jacket and tight jeans,
|
|
and a tall girl dressed almost like a punk, wearing a very
|
|
short leather mini skirt. These two looked less like
|
|
schoolgirls than young women. I saw the girls' already
|
|
apprehensive faces go a shade paler as they saw the long,
|
|
flexible canes quivering in the hands of their headmistress.
|
|
|
|
There were chairs lined up opposite the girls where we parents
|
|
were directed to sit, and one isolated chair in the middle of
|
|
the floor. Mrs Webb handed one cane to the gym mistress and
|
|
one of the girls began to cry quietly. Mrs Webb then gave the
|
|
girls a good talking to. She announced that for such serious
|
|
misbehaviour, damaging to the reputation of the school, no
|
|
punishment except the cane was appropriate and that each girl
|
|
would receive four strokes. She concluded by saying that,
|
|
contrary to the rules, most of the girls were not wearing
|
|
school uniform, some despite warnings, and that these girls
|
|
would receive additional strokes of the cane. I was pleased
|
|
that Vikki had worn school uniform that day, she didn't
|
|
always. I tried to catch her eye to give her a look of
|
|
encouragement, but she was staring at her shoes and looked
|
|
petrified.
|
|
|
|
Mrs Webb announced that the punishments would be carried out
|
|
in alphabetical order of surnames, and after a pause the first
|
|
girl walked slowly forward. It was Cathy, a girl in my
|
|
daughter's class. She was a slender, attractive girl, whose
|
|
face was framed by her long black hair. Mrs Webb told her to
|
|
bend over the central chair facing the other girls, and she
|
|
did so. She was wearing school uniform, and when she was bent
|
|
over the chair Mrs Webb took hold of the hem of her grey
|
|
school skirt and lifted it up, pinning it to the back of her
|
|
blouse with a safety pin.
|
|
|
|
The headmistress laid her cane carefully across Cathy's blue
|
|
panties and then raised it high. Taking careful aim she
|
|
brought it down with a resounding thwack. Cathy squealed at
|
|
the sudden stinging pain and her head jerked back sharply.
|
|
She looked round with an expression of shock and disbelief on
|
|
her face as if she could not believe that Mrs Webb had
|
|
intended to hurt her that much. We saw her try to tense
|
|
herself for the next stroke, but she could not prevent the
|
|
wrigglings of her bottom as it awaited the next assault of the
|
|
cane.
|
|
|
|
When the second stroke did come it was too much for poor
|
|
Cathy. She leapt up and danced from one foot to the other
|
|
with her hands pressed to her stinging bottom. She was
|
|
weeping now and kept begging Mrs Webb over and over not to
|
|
give her any more.
|
|
|
|
Mrs Webb beckoned to the gym mistress who came over to hold
|
|
Cathy down for the remainder of her caning. Her cries fell on
|
|
deaf ears and her desperate writhings could not save her
|
|
buttocks from the two remaining punishing strokes. After the
|
|
fourth stroke Mrs Webb unpinned her skirt and motioned to Miss
|
|
Baker to let her go. Cathy remained standing in the centre of
|
|
the Hall clasping her sore bottom with both hands. After a
|
|
few moments, however, with everybody's eyes still fixed on
|
|
her, she was ordered to go and stand by the wall, near the
|
|
door, facing the wall. She hobbled across the room still
|
|
sobbing and with one hand still held to the back of her skirt.
|
|
Mrs Webb announced that if any other girls still needed to be
|
|
held down as Cathy had been, they would receive an additional
|
|
two strokes. They all deserved their punishments and now they
|
|
had to take their medicine - and there wasn't time for all
|
|
this mucking about.
|
|
|
|
Then it was the turn of Sheila, a delicately pretty little
|
|
blonde, sixteen years old. Sheila had made the mistake of
|
|
coming to school that day in a beige coloured blouse and a
|
|
white skirt and therefore had to expect a more severe caning
|
|
than the one which had reduced Cathy to tears. As she walked
|
|
slowly towards the chair, her pretty face blushing red, I
|
|
looked over to where Vikki was standing. Cathy's caning had
|
|
obviously made an impression on her. She looked a picture of
|
|
misery and was gnawing on her lower lip. Her hands were held
|
|
to the seat of her skirt and she was trembling and fidgeting
|
|
nervously. I felt very sorry for her, but I knew that this
|
|
was a lesson that she'd been needing for some time. She told
|
|
me afterwards that until she had seen the effect that the cane
|
|
had on Cathy she hadn't realised just how serious a punishment
|
|
a caning was.
|
|
|
|
Sheila bent over the chair. The outline of her buttocks and
|
|
her panties were clearly revealed through the tight white
|
|
skirt. Mrs Webb tried to raise the skirt, but it was too
|
|
tight. Sheila had to stand up again, take the skirt off and
|
|
then bend back down again.
|
|
|
|
Mrs Webb announced that Sheila would receive an additional two
|
|
strokes for not wearing the school uniform. Then the
|
|
punishment began. Sheila received the first stroke in
|
|
silence. The second, landing on the same place low down on
|
|
her bottom, wrung from her a stifled groan. Silent after the
|
|
third, she yelled loudly at each of the last three cuts.
|
|
Nevertheless she maintained a tight grip on the chair until
|
|
Mrs Webb tapped her on the shoulder after the sixth stroke and
|
|
told her to stand up and put her skirt back on. She had taken
|
|
her punishment so well by comparison with Cathy that I
|
|
wondered if she had ever been caned before. But Vikki told me
|
|
later that she was not a particularly naughty girl and had
|
|
never had the cane.
|
|
|
|
When she had got her skirt back on she stumbled over to stand
|
|
next to Cathy and pressed her hands to her bottom. But she
|
|
did not enjoy even this tiny relief for long. Mrs Webb
|
|
angrily snapped out that on lining up all girls had to put
|
|
their hands behind their necks.
|
|
|
|
The next girl to walk forward was Anna. Her extremely
|
|
frightened appearance must in part have been due to the fact
|
|
that she wore grey- blue trousers and a cotton top and, like
|
|
Sheila, could expect no fewer than six searing cuts across her
|
|
bottom. The headmistress ordered Anna to undo her trousers
|
|
and lower them to her kneees before bending over the chair.
|
|
Mrs Webb then gave way to the gym mistress who came forward to
|
|
cane Anna. She seemed to cane with greater power than Mrs
|
|
Webb and poor Anna shrieked and kicked her legs - so far as
|
|
she could with her trousers around her knees - after every
|
|
whack. After the fifth stroke she straightened, but
|
|
immediately bent down again, so as not to earn the extra
|
|
strokes. Miss Baker paused for a long time before the sixth
|
|
stroke and we could all hear Anna's sobs. The poor girl
|
|
couldn't keep still, but somehow she managed to stay bent
|
|
over. When the cane finally landed Anna yelled like a
|
|
madwoman and leapt upright. Her trousers had almost been
|
|
kicked off by now and she did a frantic war-dance of pain for
|
|
about half a minute. Then Mrs Webb caught hold of her and got
|
|
her to put her trousers back on before pushing her over to
|
|
stand with the other caned girls.
|
|
|
|
Karen was next. She was one of the two girls I had specially
|
|
noticed at first. She was a strikingly pretty girl who, with
|
|
her well-developed bust and tight denim jeans, looked more
|
|
like a fashion model than a schoolgirl. In addition to her
|
|
non-regulation clothing she also wore make-up and had painted
|
|
nails -also strictly against the rules. All in all she looked
|
|
nearer twenty than seventeen, except for the expression on her
|
|
face. Vikki told me later that Karen had a reputation as one
|
|
of the naughtiest girls at the school and was one of four
|
|
girls there that day who had had the cane before. Mrs Webb
|
|
indicated that she would deal with Karen.
|
|
|
|
She reminded Karen that she had been warned several times
|
|
about school uniform and punished only the week before for
|
|
wearing jeans. She had therefore decided that Karen would
|
|
receive four extra strokes - eight in all. She also said that
|
|
if the punishments had been in private she would have taken
|
|
Karen's panties down for the caning and that she would do so
|
|
if Karen was ever sent to her again! She waited while Karen
|
|
wriggled out of her jeans and said, meaningfully "I'm going
|
|
to make sure that you won't forget this in a hurry, my girl!"
|
|
|
|
As Karen bent over the chair she displayed a well-shaped,
|
|
fully mature bottom, scantily clad in a pair of close fitting
|
|
panties - white with pink flowers. Mrs Webb took hold of the
|
|
girl's panties and pulled them up tight, revealing more and
|
|
more pale pink flesh. Nothing like this had been done when
|
|
the other girls had been punished and it was obvious that the
|
|
headmistress intended to make sure that Karen really felt her
|
|
caning.
|
|
|
|
Karen's body quivered as Mrs Webb laid the cane across her
|
|
bottom as the prelude to the punishment. The headmistress
|
|
really laid it on, and it was obvious that she was hitting her
|
|
much harder than she had either Cathy or Sheila. Karen was
|
|
yelling and begging for mercy long before the eighth stroke
|
|
fell, but managed to remain in position throughout. As the
|
|
last stroke crashed into her wildly-jiggling hindquarters she
|
|
howled in a high-pitched scream, her whole body shaking with
|
|
pain. She got up when told to, slowly and with deliberate
|
|
movements. Like the other girls her hands went straight to
|
|
her rear, but the cane marks were very obvious on either side
|
|
of her panties. It took a while for her to manoeuvre herself
|
|
back into her jeans before she limped over to join the other
|
|
three caned girls.
|
|
|
|
There was a pause of a few seconds now before the next girl
|
|
came out. I wondered if it could be Vikki's turn next. After
|
|
a moment or two Mrs Webb said "All right. Who's next in
|
|
alphabetical order? Any time-wasting will be punished!"
|
|
|
|
A little Asian girl stumbled forwards, half-propelled by one
|
|
of her neighbours. With down-cast head she slowly crawled
|
|
towards the chair. When she reached it, before bending over
|
|
it she turned to look at her mother, who was sitting a few
|
|
chairs away from me. I couldn't help feeling sorry for her,
|
|
her eyes looked so large and sad. Vikki told me that evening
|
|
that her name was Kamilah Khan and that she was normally very
|
|
well-behaved but that she had been dragged into the fight by
|
|
some other girls.
|
|
|
|
She was wearing full school uniform, and her pert little
|
|
upturned bottom in its blue school panties received its four
|
|
strokes from the gym mistress's cane. Despite Kamilah's
|
|
evident fear she took her punishment very bravely and no sound
|
|
escaped her lips during the infliction. I could see that Miss
|
|
Baker increased the ferocity of her strokes so as to elicit
|
|
some reaction, but Kamilah remained mute even after the fourth
|
|
stroke which landed across her bottom with a noise like an
|
|
exploding firework. But the way she held her little bottom
|
|
when told to get up and the slow, painful way in which she
|
|
hobbled over to join the other girls by the wall made clear
|
|
that she had really felt her caning. I looked over towards
|
|
Mrs Khan, but her impassive expression had not altered.
|
|
|
|
When Kamilah had joined the other caned girls the next culprit
|
|
walked forward. This was the tall girl with the punkish
|
|
hairstyle wearing a mini skirt. From her appearance I
|
|
concluded, correctly as it turned out, that this must be
|
|
Lesley Marling, of whom Vikki had told me many stories.
|
|
|
|
She was supposed to be a complete slag, sleeping with any boy.
|
|
She paid scant regard to any school rule and had felt the
|
|
sting of Mrs Webb's cane more often than any girl there that
|
|
day. When she reached the chair she tossed her head and bent
|
|
down, wriggling her bottom provocatively.
|
|
|
|
As she bent her tiny red skirt inched upwards and when she was
|
|
in position her bottom was fully exposed. Her white pants
|
|
were almost microscopically tiny and afforded her bottom
|
|
almost no protection at all. Mrs Webb prepared to carry out
|
|
her punishment and announced that, like Karen, she would
|
|
receive eight strokes.
|
|
|
|
Once again the headmistress really laid it on. Lesley took it
|
|
very well, considering, but she jumped up after the eighth
|
|
stroke without having been given permission. Immediately, and
|
|
despite Lesley's tearful protestations, Mrs Webb got Miss
|
|
Baker to hold her down. Then she delivered two biting whacks
|
|
with her utmost energy. Poor Lesley struggled wildly, but
|
|
unsuccessfully, in the gym mistress's grasp and her shrieks as
|
|
those two strokes landed could have wakened the dead. It
|
|
seemed unfair as Anna had also jumped up after her last stroke
|
|
without permission but, according to Vikki it was really
|
|
Lesley who was most to blame for what had happened on the
|
|
coach, so I suppose she deserved it.
|
|
|
|
It was now the turn of my daughter, Vikki. It looked as
|
|
though she was already crying, but she still didn't look me in
|
|
the eye. The gym mistress caned Vikki, four of the best over
|
|
her school panties. Poor Vikki's backside had never felt
|
|
anything worse than a gentle slap from the palm of my hand
|
|
before, and now she jumped and yelled at each stroke after the
|
|
first one.
|
|
|
|
However, with Lesley's example before her, she managed to get
|
|
back into position each time. But after the last stroke,
|
|
which seemed almost to cut her in half, she leapt up with a
|
|
piercing yell of agony almost two feet in the air, it seemed.
|
|
When she came down she began to rub her exquisitely sore
|
|
behind frantically, with her skirt still pinned up to her
|
|
blouse.
|
|
|
|
I was frightened that she would be given two extra penalty
|
|
strokes as Lesley had been. But the teachers must have known
|
|
that Vikki had been punished enough already and Mrs Webb
|
|
unpinned her skirt and watched with a half smile as she
|
|
stumbled over to join her friends in a symphony of sobs.
|
|
|
|
I felt every stroke of Vikki's punishment as if the cane had
|
|
been smashing into my own backside and when it was over I
|
|
longed to run up to her, take her in arms and kiss and comfort
|
|
her, telling her how brave she'd been. But I couldn't do
|
|
anything. I had to watch as she lined up next to Lesley and
|
|
took her hands away from her little bottom to place them
|
|
behind her neck, tears of pain and shame running down her
|
|
pretty face. I knew that Vikki had been very naughty and had
|
|
deserved to be punished, but I would never have hit her like
|
|
that and I felt angry at the young gym mistress for hitting
|
|
her so hard.
|
|
|
|
Vikki's place across the chair was taken by Suzanne, a rather
|
|
plump girl who was not wearing school uniform. Instead she
|
|
wore a fetching knitted dress, blue with horizontal golden
|
|
stripes on the skirt. She was another girl who had been caned
|
|
before.
|
|
|
|
Mrs Webb resumed her place and lifted and pinned back the
|
|
skirt to reveal Suzanne's light blue panties. Then she began
|
|
the punishment apparently as strong as ever. Suzanne took the
|
|
first two strokes in silence, although her squirmings and
|
|
wrigglings after each whack showed that the burning pain of
|
|
the cane was certainly getting through to her. At the third
|
|
stroke she let out a sort of gasp, and at the fourth a long
|
|
moan. Mrs Webb paused before applying the fifth stroke, which
|
|
she brought down hard across the lowest part of girl's bottom.
|
|
Suzanne threw back her head and screamed loudly. Almost
|
|
immediately the final terrific impact of the cane landed in
|
|
the same place, and Sue repeated the performance even louder.
|
|
Then her skirt was unpinned and she was allowed to limp across
|
|
and join her weeping colleagues in disgrace.
|
|
|
|
Mrs Webb gave way to allow the gym mistress to deal with the
|
|
next culprit. This was Caroline, a tall well-built girl
|
|
wearing a brightly coloured sweatshirt and faded denim jeans.
|
|
Caroline had at first not looked so distressed as the other
|
|
girls. Vikki told me later that she had thought that she
|
|
would be caned over her jeans and had joked to the other girls
|
|
about how glad she was that she had worn them because of the
|
|
protection they would give her bottom. But now that she had
|
|
seen the other punishments, and particularly Karen's, her
|
|
cockiness had gone. She was obviously worried that she might
|
|
get eight strokes, like Karen, and was obviously relieved when
|
|
Mrs Webb announced that she would receive six strokes.
|
|
|
|
Miss Baker caned Caroline efficiently. The tall schoolgirl
|
|
yelped at each stroke and only just avoided extra strokes when
|
|
she stood up and cradled her bottom after number five.
|
|
Luckily for her rear she bent back down voluntarily just as
|
|
Mrs Webb was getting ready to hold her down. When the caning
|
|
was over it took her nearly a minute to pull her jeans back
|
|
on.
|
|
|
|
The next girl to walk forward was Melanie Roberts, whom I knew
|
|
as a friend of Vikki's who had often visited our house. I
|
|
knew that Melanie was very sensitive to pain and made a
|
|
terrible fuss over the tiniest bruise, so I couldn't imagine
|
|
what a caning would do to her. It looked to me at first as if
|
|
she was wearing school uniform, but on looking closely you
|
|
could see that her skirt was light blue and not the regulation
|
|
grey. The headmistress made no exception - it was to be six
|
|
strokes. Melanie's face wore an expression of sheer panic,
|
|
she had already started crying quietly to herself.
|
|
|
|
Mrs Webb administered Melanie's caning. The fifteen year old
|
|
stayed bent over the chair for the first stroke, which
|
|
elicited a frantic howl, but as the second stroke walloped
|
|
across her panties she jumped upright and twisted around to
|
|
face us. "Ooowh Mum!" she yelled, "Make her stop! Ow ow ow!
|
|
It hurts too much . . . please!"
|
|
|
|
But Mrs Roberts was unsympathetic. "Get back over that chair,
|
|
Melanie!" she said "Don't be such a little coward!" Poor
|
|
Melanie looked dumbstruck. Mrs Roberts turned and whispered
|
|
to me "This is exactly what Melanie has been asking for.
|
|
It'll do her the world of good! The number of times I've
|
|
asked Frank to put her across his knees . . ."
|
|
|
|
So Melanie was bent down over the chair once more, this time
|
|
in Miss Baker's strong grip. The headmistress took her time
|
|
over the caning. Melanie made a tremendous fuss, yelling and
|
|
screaming at the top of her voice and struggling wildly. But
|
|
she could not escape from Miss Baker's strong hands and her
|
|
frantic kickings just made things worse for her. Mrs Webb did
|
|
not stop until Melanie had received her full eight strokes.
|
|
|
|
When the infliction was finally over Miss Baker unpinned
|
|
Melanie's skirt and released her grip. The squirming girl
|
|
fell on to the floor and remained there, rolling over and
|
|
over, her hands thrust desperately under her skirt to try to
|
|
assuage the stinging pain. Mrs Webb allowed her about half a
|
|
minute and then grasped her by an ear and pulled her upright
|
|
before pushing her over to join her comrades in disgrace.
|
|
|
|
The next girl, Elaine Swanton, could not have been more of a
|
|
contrast. She was the last of the girls who had had previous
|
|
experience of Mrs Webb's cane. She was wearing full school
|
|
uniform and cheekily smiled at us as she came forward. She
|
|
rolled up her skirt herself and then bent forward and jauntily
|
|
stuck her bottom in the air as if challenging the teachers to
|
|
do their worst.
|
|
|
|
The gym mistress did her best to wipe the smile off Elaine's
|
|
face and delivered four vicious cuts. But Elaine made no
|
|
sound and remained firmly in position throughout. After the
|
|
last stroke she stayed down until Mrs Webb told her to get up
|
|
and then she walked calmly over to the wall. Unlike all the
|
|
other girls she did not try to comfort her caned bottom, but
|
|
kept her hands by her side. When she reached the wall she
|
|
turned and looked at the gym mistress and smiled again and
|
|
then faced the wall and put her hands behind her neck. But
|
|
despite her courage Elaine, too, had been hurt. As I
|
|
continued to watch I saw her hopping in discomfort from foot
|
|
to foot and heard her sharp intakes of breath when she thought
|
|
no one was paying attention.
|
|
|
|
The girl who walked forward next was also in full school
|
|
uniform, but it was different to that worn by the others,
|
|
being a blue jacket and a navy blue skirt as opposed to the
|
|
grey worn by the others. Vikki told me later that this was
|
|
Sandra Turner who had been the sixth form prefect in charge of
|
|
supervising the ill-fated coach party. No doubt if a teacher
|
|
had been responsible he or she would have been sacked, as it
|
|
was a prefect she was caned - after first being removed from
|
|
her position.
|
|
|
|
Vikki told me that most of the girls agreed that it was unfair
|
|
that Sandra got the cane as she had done as much as she could
|
|
to stop the trouble. Sandra was known as a very quiet girl,
|
|
almost a teacher's pet, and at almost nineteen must surely
|
|
have never guessed that she would have to bend over for the
|
|
cane. But she didn't argue, she walked forward slowly, but
|
|
steadily, with downcast head and bent over the chair without
|
|
protest. As she raised Sandra's skirt out of the way Mrs Webb
|
|
explained that it was only very rarely that she found it
|
|
necessary to cane sixth formers and that when she had to carry
|
|
out such a punishment she gave a minimum of six strokes.
|
|
|
|
Sandra duly received six resounding whacks from that whippy
|
|
cane. Like Elaine she managed to stay in position throughout,
|
|
scarcely moving, but her anguished cries as the last three
|
|
cuts of cane dug in showed that despite its unaccustomed
|
|
exercise Mrs Webb's right arm was as powerful as ever. Sandra
|
|
was weeping quietly as she hobbled over to stand next to the
|
|
other caned girls.
|
|
|
|
Only three girls now remained with uncaned bottoms - Mandy
|
|
Weston, Claire Wetherby and Lynda White. And of these three
|
|
only Mandy could expect the minimum four strokes as she was
|
|
the only one in school uniform. Claire, a tall and rather
|
|
overweight girl, was wearing orange trousers, while Lynda -
|
|
the smallest and youngest girl involved in the incident - wore
|
|
a tight red dress.
|
|
|
|
Mandy and Claire both took their canings well and neither
|
|
needed to be restrained. Miss Baker used Mandy's caning to
|
|
demonstrate that Elaine's lack of response had not been due to
|
|
any diminishing of her vigour. When it was over Mandy spent
|
|
almost a minute jumping up and down holding on to her outraged
|
|
rear before being persuaded to stumble over to join the
|
|
others. I remember Claire's punishment too - the cane denting
|
|
deeply into the girl's large panty-clad posterior and bouncing
|
|
back again. She took it in silence but I remember her
|
|
agonized face and seeing her biting her lower lip to hold back
|
|
a cry of pain when it was all over and she had received the
|
|
sixth stroke.
|
|
|
|
The last girl of all was Lynda White who was the shortest and,
|
|
at fourteen, the youngest girl to be punished that day. Poor
|
|
little Lynda had seen all her companions caned one by one and
|
|
she did not escape lightly by being the last girl to be dealt
|
|
with. She leapt upright with a frantic yell after only two
|
|
strokes and was then held down by Miss Baker for a further six
|
|
stingers which were delivered across her bright red panties
|
|
with undiminished ferocity. When she was released it was
|
|
impossible to imagine poor little Miss White sitting down
|
|
again in any degree of comfort for a very long time to come.
|
|
|
|
Finally the bitterly weeping Lynda, hands behind her neck,
|
|
joined the other punished girls. Mrs Webb told them all to
|
|
turn around and she gave them all a long lecture. She told
|
|
them that they all, except for Sandra Turner, had to write out
|
|
'I must behave properly and with decorum during school hours'
|
|
100 times, to be handed in before assembly the next day.
|
|
Sandra had to write 'Being a school prefect entails
|
|
responsibilities as well as privileges' 100 times. In
|
|
addition those girls who had been punished for not wearing
|
|
school uniform had to write 'I must wear school uniform to
|
|
school' 50 times. Mrs Webb warned the girls to have the lines
|
|
done in time - swishing her cane meaningfully to indicate the
|
|
consequences if they were not! She then dismissed the girls.
|
|
|
|
When we got to the car Vikki found sitting down intensely
|
|
painful and she perched uncomfortably above the seat,
|
|
supporting her weight on her hands and squeaking and squealing
|
|
in pain for the whole of the journey home. Her bottom was
|
|
obviously very sore and she ate her tea that evening standing
|
|
up - like a horse as I remarked humorously to try to ease the
|
|
tension. She wrote her lines standing up as well and then
|
|
went to bed early. I don't think she got a lot of sleep that
|
|
night, though.
|
|
|
|
Next morning, at breakfast, I watched as she slowly lowered
|
|
herself down onto a chair. She winced as her wealed bottom
|
|
made contact with the chair seat. I asked her how she was
|
|
feeling. She told me that she was much better but that she
|
|
was still feeling very tender and that the cane had left nasty
|
|
bruises. I said that she had had a well-deserved lesson and
|
|
that I hoped she would benefit from it. She was in a very
|
|
subdued and quiet mood and hardly spoke. We made sure that
|
|
she was in full uniform and that she had her lines and she
|
|
left for school - a good half hour before her usual time. She
|
|
handed her lines in to Mrs Webb and that was the end of the
|
|
matter so far as she was concerned. Some of her friends were
|
|
not so lucky, however.
|
|
|
|
All the girls presented themselves in Mrs Webb's office in
|
|
full school uniform and handed in their lines. But Claire and
|
|
Melanie had not written the required quantity - not expecting
|
|
the headmistress to check thoroughly - and, although Lynda and
|
|
Anna had written all their lines, Mrs Webb decided that they
|
|
were too badly written to be acceptable. The other girls were
|
|
allowed to go, leaving the four defaulters behind. Vikki
|
|
found out what happened next from Melanie.
|
|
|
|
Mrs Webb must have thought that the girls' bottoms had
|
|
suffered enough because she made them hold out their
|
|
non-writing hands for two stinging cuts of the cane. Melanie
|
|
told Vikki that it hurt even more on the hand than on the bum.
|
|
Poor little Lynda was unlucky again. This time she was the
|
|
first to be caned and she was taken by surprise by the intense
|
|
sting of the first stroke. Apparently she let a swear word
|
|
out and Mrs Webb administered a further two strokes to her
|
|
other hand in retribution.
|
|
|
|
After this incident Vikki's behaviour certainly improved, both
|
|
at home an at school. It proved to me that she was not too
|
|
old to go over my knee and from then on naughtiness was
|
|
punished with a sharp dose of the slipper over her pyjama
|
|
bottoms. She was never caned at school again.
