I'm having an extremely productive meeting with the headmistress of the wonderful school my niece is at. As one of the school's governors, I'm hoping to influence her into making my niece head girl next year, but though she has a list of candidates, she won't show me, and puts the envelope in the bin for incineration!! Once she's out of the room, I'm determined to have a look at that list, but when I do so, first one hand and then the other, gets stuck in the waste bin! I'm soon kneeling awkwardly with my head and shoulders under her desk and my bottom in the air, which is how she finds me when she returns. Understanding at once what I'm up to, she takes a long wooden ruler to my bare bottom. The pain! The humiliation!
