My head had dipped down to the seat of the chair and my jumper had slidall the way down to my shoulders as another hard swot of the tawse made me taketurns lifting both legs and shaking them. Tim took his hand from my back and steppedaway ?I think we need more room to get a proper swing don?t you Mum?. What didhe mean? we? and like I was.
