The bully
Ernest St. Maur was a big, overgrown lout
of seventeen and a bully. This being a story from a Boys’ story paper he
eventually gets his comeuppance, but not until he terrorises the younger boys
In a trice,
Dawkins was trussed face downwards over a heavy desk, tied securely by wrists
and ankles
“Bags first go!”
cried St. Maur, “Half-a-dozen each!”
The swanshot
caught the tightened seat of Dawkin minor’s breeches with the intolerable pain
of a hornet’s sting, and a sequel of agony rang out; a second and third
followed, and the squeal rose to a wailing shriek.
This is from the Boys’
Herald, published on 10 February 1906. You can
find more editions of the paper on the Comic Book Plus website.
