The Price of Stockings
Neither Jane nor her best friend Lucy felt quite so grown up now.
They were pupils at a private boarding school in England just after the war, and they had been foolish enough to offer favours to two of the American forces still posted here in exchange for the expensive stockings they had on. They had been reported to the school and their House Mistress had been waiting for them as they tried to sneak back to school.
They had known what they could expect, and their Mistress made sure her heavy ruler exacted the punishment they deserved.
