As I say, Matron was very experienced in discipline and you felt your misbehaviour for some time after the punishment itself.
That said, she was by no means a sadist.
On the contary.
She was in fact, a very fun-loving lady who cared for us all very much.
My last spanking from Matron was on the very last night of my last prep school term.
Strangely enough, it was also Matron’s last night at the school too.
She was getting married during the summer holidays.
In those days matrons had to be single ladies, as they were ‘live-in’ posts.
