<strong>Whops</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Clobber</strong><br />

Deborah felt as if every nerve end in her body had<br />

been sent in<strong>to</strong> a hot prickly dance. <strong>The</strong> third slashed<br />

downwards <strong>and</strong> the hapless Debs felt giddy with pain.<br />

<strong>The</strong> collar of her blouse felt like it was choking her<br />

deadly force. By the seventh stroke Deborah’s<br />

but<strong>to</strong>cks were evenly covered with hot stripes from<br />

merge with the existing stripes but somehow Deborah<br />

retained her position without moving <strong>and</strong> was<br />

showing no indication of the trauma she was<br />

suffering. Ms Law<strong>to</strong>n felt cheated; she was giving it<br />

mouth in a determined manner <strong>and</strong> <strong>to</strong>ok a tight grip<br />

considerable force. <strong>The</strong> cane slashed across the<br />

target with a terrible crack, as if a rifle shot had been<br />

fired.
