Room 2D

Continuing from  Spare the Rod  we once again enter the world of severe, and perhaps sadistic, Mr Meads as he continues to administer scholastic disciplines to the errant and wilful Emma Louise. The film begins with a panicky Emma Louise seated outside Meads’ office, nervously pondering the painful encounter that inevitably awaits her, Meads heightens the tension and the fear by making her wait, a classic psychological ploy of the stern tutor. Once inside Meads office Emma Louise’s efforts to defy the master and even lie to him fall on deaf ears as he follows the rule of school law and tried and tested remedies for the disobedient scholar. Following an over the knee spanking Emma Louise receives a grim warning about the consequences that await her should her grades and attitude fail to improve. Amazingly Emma Louise compounds her sins by copying the work of another student leaving Meads no alternative but to administer the harshest punishments available. In various states of u...

The last of the proper St Angela’s stories (a captioned photo-story appeared later but was a completely different style). From Roué 19 .

One of the most hallowed of British traditions apparently declared unlawful?! Fantastic! And presumably at all our finest schools caning will now merely be a thing of the past? Quite unbelievable! Retired old gentlemen must have been having fits! And undoubtedly such an earth-shattering pronouncement must have caused heated debate and discussion up and down the country. Yes, this is certainly true, but on one score at least those old gentlemen may relax. Because at one noted school, at any rate, debate on this topic was virtually non-existent. I refer of course to St Angela’s School for Girls. Where the girls all knew without asking, without being told, that such a ruling wou...

Story from Roué 19, the final instalment in the adventures of St Angela’s alumna Julie Williamson ( Room 2D Continued ,  Episode at St Angela’s ,   Bankable Spankable Assets! Part 1 ,   Bankable Spankable Assets! Part 2  and  Ninth on the Agenda ) It wasn’t until half-past-four, when the books were balanced, that the twenty-five pounds deficit was discovered. One of the cashiers must have accidentally overpaid a customer. Twenty-five pounds was neither here nor there to a prosperous, thriving bank like Boutts dealing in hundreds of thousands daily — but a deficit is still a deficit: the error had to be traced and the cashier reprimanded. Ralph Hardcastle, the deputy manager, decided to look into it himself. There had been four cashiers on duty that day. Albert Potts, the senior cashier, was above suspicion: he’d never committed an error — however slight — in all his forty-seven years’ devoted service, and as he was now nearing retirement age it would have be...
