"You see, I knew I must come to school, and if I ran away from this one, if I hadn't been sent back, I should have been sent back to another one, and there would have been whackings at home, and they would have hurt my mother, who always hated to see me have it, though I always deserved it: father said so.
It began with gusty blowings and snortings, and opened into a clear "Ha ha!" but in fullest development it included, in those youthful days, falling about anyhow and doubling up tightly, and whackings of the stomach, and tears and cries of anguish.
Doe flushed, and continued talking so as to be heard only by me. "If it had been any other master, I'd have been mad with him. Fancy, practically two whackings in a morning; one on the knuckles and one on the and the other. But you can't hate Radley, can you?" "Oh, I don't know," I said, with grave doubts. There was a pause.
Bastow very much, and I am quite sure that I shan't get so many whackings from him as I used to do from old Holbrook." "I fancy not, Mark," his father said with a smile. "I am not against wholesome discipline, but I think it can be carried too far; at any rate, I hope you will be just as obedient to Mr. Bastow as if he always had a cane on the table beside him."
Then there would have been whackings here, and they'd have hurt me, so I made up my mind to stay." "That was wise," I said, laughing. "Oh, I don't know," he replied, wrinkling up his face; "the cane only hurts you outside, and it soon goes off, but being miserable hurts you inside, and lasts ever so long. I say, don't you be miserable about coming away from home.
