Here Mr. Cæsar, who bore no grudge against Radley for assuming the reins of command, whispered to him; and Radley asked the class: "Who touched the clock?" "I did, sir."

The boys had carried off some gates shortly before, and they had changed the sign of the Jolly Fisherman to Friend Reed's coffin shop, and he never knew it the whole morning and wondered why people stared. Both boys were soundly caned for it, and after all it was only a bit of fun.
He was always being caned I think he was caned every day in the half-year I spent at Salem House, except one holiday Monday when he was only ruler'd on both hands and was always going to write to his uncle about it, and never did. After laying his head on the desk for a little while, he would cheer up somehow, begin to laugh again, and draw skeletons all over his slate, before his eyes were dry.
Have the child's photograph taken too, with his eyes streaming with tears, and his chin dimpled with fear, as a little sheet of water struck by a sudden cold wind; and if your child should die I cannot think of a sweeter way to spend an afternoon than to go to the graveyard in the autumn, when the maples are clad in pink and gold, when the little scarlet runners come like poems out of the breast of the earth go there and sit down and look at that photograph and think of the flesh, now dust, and how you caned it to writhe in pain and agony.
"I see you've been playing with fire into mischief as usual," said the master, and he caned Edmund harder than ever.

I'm afraid I am a great deal too good-natured with you. I shall have to send a dozen of you up to be caned." "No, you couldn't do that if you tried, Captain Scuddy. But what are you thinking of, all this time?
As soon as the cauzee was come in, he caned one of his slaves, who had deserved chastisement. This slave made a horrid noise, which was heard in the streets; the barber thought it was I who cried out, and was maltreated. Prepossessed with this thought, he roared out aloud, rent his clothes, threw dust upon his head, and called the neighbourhood to his assistance.
You had no business with such a book at all. Hold out your hand." As yet, Eric had never been caned. Gordon's merely official belief of his word. He knew that he had his faults, but certainly want of honor was not among them.
You will tell your house-master that you have been formally caned by me." "My word!" said McTurk, wriggling his shoulder-blades all down the corridor. "That was business! The Prooshan Bates has an infernal straight eye." "Wasn't it wily of me to ask for the lickin'," said Stalky, "instead of those impots?" "Rot! We were in for it from the first. I knew the look of his old eye," said Beetle.
