Hand Tawsing the Stealing Schoolgirl

Marie has been sent to Miss Scarlets room to face an accusation of stealing from a class mate. Miss Scarlet takes the offence very seriously Marie is told that she will be writing a letter of apology but with very sore hands. Miss Scarlet will administer 6 hard strokes of her Lochgelly tawse on her palms but if she moves her hands at all then it will result in extra stokes. Miss Scarlet punishes the girl’s hands with her tawse, ignoring any pleads for mercy. Unfortunately, for Marie, as she moved her hands, she ends up with 8 hard punishment strokes. Maries is told to sit at her desk and write a letter of apology with very sore and swollen palms.
