I agree with you, PGreenham, that LAST IN LINE is delightful. Michele is quite a tall, leggy thing, nearly as tall as her Headmaster. Doubtless she thinks of herself as quite adult, and would rather be at Harrods, shopping for bags and trying on countless dresses while the men in the store furtively stole glances at her. The clock or appointments would mean little to her; she would show up when it pleased her. If the Headmaster dared to even brush against her in such a place, she might well bring him up on charges. Fortunately, Michele’s school uniform obliterates any silly pretenses about her being an adult. She is a child, and her clothes, down to her knickers, will be chosen for her. “Fashionably late” is now TARDY. Her stern Headmaster will order Michelle to touch her toes and raise her skirt, and then haul down her knickers. She will keep her bottom raised high, for the cane, for “justice”, for “extras”, and for his viewing pleasure. An outstanding story! |
