A <strong>Life</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Day</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Nixdown</strong> <strong>Nixon</strong><br />

half a dozen gals had already been whopped and it<br />

was only just lunch-time.<br />

She chuckled, “Weekend madness. It’s <strong>the</strong><br />

same everywhere. <strong>Back</strong> at Queensgate Monday was<br />

always my busy day as <strong>the</strong> gals weren’t whopped at<br />

weekends. One Monday even<strong>in</strong>g I had <strong>to</strong> pop a dozen<br />

gals,” she recalled.<br />

“I bet Debs was one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m,” I comment.<br />

She shook her head. “No dur<strong>in</strong>g my term Debs<br />

was always thrashed last th<strong>in</strong>g on Friday nights, but<br />

<strong>the</strong> Bounder was amongst <strong>the</strong>m and if I recall<br />

correctly I had <strong>to</strong> give her <strong>the</strong> max. Poor love.”<br />

“How did she take it?” I ask.<br />

Christy chuckled aga<strong>in</strong>. “You know <strong>the</strong> Bounder<br />

she curled her lip at me contemptuously and made<br />

out it didn’t hurt. But <strong>in</strong> private she would always tell<br />

me when I had got her good.”<br />

“Were you chums?” I ask.<br />

“Well not really chums, she wasn’t with us for<br />

more than a few months before she was called upon<br />

<strong>to</strong> appear at her fa<strong>the</strong>r’s trial and after that she was<br />

sent <strong>to</strong> reform school,” she replied. “I didn’t see her<br />

aga<strong>in</strong> until she was <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> stand at <strong>the</strong> tribunal.”<br />

We go <strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Old Gals quarters and drag <strong>the</strong><br />

suitcases up <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p floor.<br />

“So guest discipl<strong>in</strong>arian huh?” I gr<strong>in</strong>. “Well if<br />

you need some target practice I’m always available.”<br />

Christy giggles. “I’m sure that I could<br />

accommodate you,” she tells me. “When’s a good<br />

time.”<br />

“Any time is a good time but it’s probably best<br />

<strong>to</strong> wait until <strong>to</strong>morrow, I’m <strong>to</strong>o busy <strong>to</strong>day play<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Duty Moni<strong>to</strong>r for hav<strong>in</strong>g any fun before <strong>the</strong> feast.”
