Extract
from Housemaster’s Double Caning
“DA SILVA IN here now,” I heard the order barked
out knowing my time had come, so I opened the door and entered the lion’s den.
I had been summoned to this room many times before. Nothing had changed since
my last visit: a large bookcase stretched across the wall in front of me. To my
left was a small couch where guests would sit, large stuffed chairs on either
side. To my right was the housemaster’s huge mahogany desk, clean and tidy, and
polished to perfection. But, despite the abundance of furniture, all I could
focus on was the prominent display behind the desk. Attached to the wall was a
large wooden cabinet with a glass door. Through the glass I could see three
crock-handled canes. They were light brown, slender, and slightly warped from
years of use. Mr. Hill, my housemaster, was seated at his desk, dressed in his
formal gown, with a dark suit under it. “Stand there,” he pointed to a spot on
the worn rug directly in front of his desk. I cannot ever remember in my seven
years at the school having seen Mr. Hill smile. This day was to be no exception.
