Deborah in Denial
The hall was silent bar the sound of Deborah’s
retreating footsteps. Ms Lawton pushed her glasses
back up her nose and rearranged her papers while
she waited to commence assembly. She cleared her
throat and looked up over the assembled inmates. To
her surprise she saw Yvonne Godfrey standing up,
waving a red card in her right hand.
“What is it Godfrey?” she asked impatiently.
“It’s Cassidy Ma’am,” Godders said gleefully
and touched her left index finger to the knot of her
own tie.
During assembly it was Yvonne’s task to stand
at the end of the row that the Phase Two inmates
frequented and monitor them for gabbing, goofing,
larking or pranking.
The Grand Dame scanned the row of inmates
until she spotted Cassandra Cassidy seated halfway
along. Janet was quite correct; Cassie Cassy’s tie was
equally delinquent as Deborah’s.
“Alright Cassidy,” the Grand Dame said tightly,
“Get out. Go and get yourself inspected.”
