He was always ruling ciphering-books with a bloated mahogany ruler, or smiting the palms of offenders with the same diabolical instrument, or viciously drawing a pair of pantaloons tight with one of his large hands, and caning the wearer with the other. We have no doubt whatever that this occupation was the principal solace of his existence.
If he met a lady in the street, he gave her a kick, and told her to go home and mind her brats. If he saw a clergyman staring at the soldiers, he admonished the reverend gentleman to betake himself to study and prayer, and enforced this pious advice by a sound caning, administered on the spot. But it was in his own house that he was most unreasonable and ferocious.
I have no cane, sir. I have been sending " "I ordered them an immediate caning, Mr Carnaby, and not mental torture. School is up," he declared to the boys at large. "You may go you have been punished enough," he said to the little boys. "Mr Carnaby, have the goodness to remain a moment." And the large room was speedily emptied of all but the master, the usher, and poor Lamb.
He said nothing, but abruptly turned away and left the ground. The struggle had not lasted a moment, and it was thoroughly repulsed. There could not be the least doubt of that, or of the fact that those who were on the side of righteous order outnumbered and exceeded in strength the turbulent malcontents. Power inflicted on Penn a severe caning there and then.
And though I wished to spare Lenny, the young ruffian, a public disgrace for your sake, Parson Dale, and Mrs. Fairfield's yet a good caning in private " "Stop, sir!" said Riccabocca, mildly, "and hear me."
John for what had happened. She was much distressed, but, like a sensible woman, took the right view of the case. 'He wanted to be pulled up sharp; my poor boy, is he much hurt? The caning was such a minor point of Teddy's grief that Jake confessed to knowing nothing about it. Mrs. Platt was inclined to be indignant with the schoolmaster.
When I think that I, the descendant of the kings of Ireland, was threatened with a caning by a young scoundrel who had just joined from Eton College when I think that he offered to make me his footman, and that I did not, on either occasion, murder him! But my kind friend Fagan came to my aid in the circumstance, with some very timely consolation.
Carvel, and I saw a tear glisten in his eye as he answered: "You have, Richard, and stoutly. But your uncle and Mr. Allen seem to think that your offence warrants more than a caning, and to deem that you have been actuated by bad principles rather than by boyish spirits." He paused to steady his voice, and I realized then for the first time how sacred he held allegiance to the King.
"He's gone to fetch his cane," said some, and imitated for Paul's instruction the action of caning by slapping a ruler upon a copy-book with a dreadful fidelity and resonance; others sought to cross-examine him upon the love-letter, it appearing from their casual remarks that not a few had been also honoured by communications from the artless Miss Davenant.
"Are you going to take me to Captain Putnam?" he questioned. "We do not permit cadets placed under arrest to ask questions." "Great smoke! Am I under arrest?" "You are." "Perhaps you'll want to hang me next." "Silence! Or I shall be tempted to sentence you to a caning." "You'll never cane me, sir." "Silence! You have evidently been a wayward boy at home.
