Violet had been out in the car again but had ignored her step-brother-in law's instruction to return it by 6:30. So when she arrived home an hour late he was not best pleased and "wanted a word" about matters. She tried to laugh off her tardiness because she didn't think it was important - until he pointed out that her irresponsibility meant that he could not pick up his daughters from their ballet class. Violet was resigned to her fate and the only protest she uttered as she was hauled across her step-brother-in-law's knee was "Oh hell, not again". However, once the spanking started Violet was not quite so calm about it. Her bare bottom was soon bright red and her yelping and sobbing demonstrated that she was still not to big or too old for discipline. Violet stood, sobbing and rubbing her bottom whilst being lectured about timekeeping and being instructed to go and apologise to her nieces on her way to bed. Violet knew she would cope with being sent to bed, to rest on her tummy, but the humiliation she knew she would feel apologising to younger girls who would be well aware that she'd been chastised was too much for her to handle and on her way out she called her step-brother-in-law a "twat". She was immediately called back and told that her insolence had earned her a belting. As Violet laid across the arm of the sofa with her hands on the floor and her bottom high in the air she was beginning to regret her behaviour. The strap was laid hard across her bare bottom until she was howling from the pain and begging for the thrashing to stop. But it didn't, at least, not until her tears and crying convinced her step-brother-in-law that she had learned her lesson. As she shuffled out of the room clutching her blazing cheeks Violet still had to face the humiliation of apologising to her nieces. Would such shame make her mend her ways? Probably not!
