HARDER. Oleg is to be punished with three dozen cane strokes. Because he waits too long for Ignaty, his friend who is to support him, he arrives 25 minutes late. The punisher is furious and adds 100 strokes of prison straps and tawse to his sentence. Ignaty feels badly that he has caused so much suffering and submits his own body for discipline. After a false start, he receives 50 painful lashes. Asses are burning bright and red tonight.
