sternwomen: It had been at the beginning of the afternoon lessons, when Miss Miler sent me to the corner for disrupting the drawing class, with one of my silly jokes. It was almost an hour and half had later with my mates drawing at my back, Miss Miller strolling between the rows of desks and with me facing the wall with my hands on my head and my arms hurting like hell, when Sally pricked my bottom with the point of her compass just at the moment Miss Miller passed by me. I could not but to exclaim an audible “ouch!” and my hands went to my bottom. Miss Miller quickly turned back, slapped hard the back of my neck and warned me about promptly recovering my standing punishment position, while the rest of the class and especially Sally (whose prank passed completely unnoticed), giggled. When the lesson ended and all my class-mates had left, only Miss Miller staring at my back and myself staring at the wall, stayed in the classroom. That was when she said: “Johnson get out of the corner, drop your pants and get ready bending over my desk while I fetch my cane from the cupboard. You were to receive only six strokes, your long corner time should be punishment enough, but you broke your position and that’s against the rules, so they will be a dozen. Understood?” -- source link
