......................................................................................................At five sharp the bells rang and the girls of al... houses were awake and grumpy . The “floating” canes were busy urging slowpokes into action and finally all the girls were seated ,doing their morning shit! No girl was naughty or swore because they now knew the consequence of doing so . They all plopped nicely and in good time and stepped into the showers for their minus freezing morning.

She felt the urge to tell him to leave, fear of costing her father his promotion as well as losing.
