The Pickpocket.The people of the town and surrounding areas were in fear of the pickpockets for these urchins not alone picked the pockets of those whom they came across,they were also known to commit burglaries ;the people of the district were at their wits end. However one winter’s day at the end of November one of the pickpockets found himself in the precarious situation of being caught by the local town Town Crier. The boy had struggled to try to get away,but had ran straight into the local milkman ,who had most recently been a victim of this gang of urchins. The street wise young man was taken to the local town hall and the elders of the town decided unanimously to have this errant street urchin taught a lesson that he would never forget and that his compatriots would be in no doubt that they would suffer the same fate if they were apprehended. “Who could we find to give a severe enough thrashing to this boy,who in this district is experienced enough and indeed strict enough to not show any pity on these street urchins?” the town Mayor asked.The members of the Town Council began to discuss the Mayor’s question and almost immediately the local baker spoke up ,” Why do we not employ the Schoolmaster of Birchwood to carry out the task,I have heard that he is a most austere man who has a passion for administering corporal punishment.””Yes,he would be our best choice,the schoolmaster is sure to give this boy a lesson he will never forget and send a clear message to all those who steal from us,I agree with the baker,” the local Green Grocer said. “All those present in the hall spoke up in agreement and so the Mayor decided that he would write to the Schoolmaster and ask for help .That evening the Mayor sat at his desk and wrote to the Schoolmaster .The Mayor handed the letter to his messenger who cycled off to Birchwood .The Schoolmaster was sitting in his study when his maid brought the letter to him. The Schoolmaster opened the envelope and began to read;”Dear Sir,I hope that this correspondence finds you in good health.I am the Mayor of Queenstown and I am writing to you in the hope that you may be able to render assistance to my good people. For quite sometime now our town has been under siege from a gang of the most uproarious street urchins who have partook in pickpocketing and burglarly and have put the good people of Queenstown under fear. However yesterday our Town Crier aided by the local Milkman managed to apprehend one of the wicked urchins and we are presently keeping him in a cell at the Town Hall. The Town Council and I have decided that the only manner that this miscreant will adhere to is corporal punishment and since there is not one among us who is willing to undertake this method of punishment we instead have decided to ask your good self to come to Queenstown and administer a severe thrashing to this miscreant on behalf of çanakkale escort the good people who dwell here. I do hope that you can be of assistance to us in our time of need.Of course we will pay you for your time. If you agree to come I will send my carriage to convey you. I do hope that I will hear from you soon.Yours Faithfully,Mayor Brewer of Queenstown.” The Schoolmaster sat in silence for a few moments and then wrote a brief letter which simply read, ” I will attend tomorrow morning,no payment required or expected. Grateful if you would send your carriage at 10am precisely.”The maid was directed to send a messenger boy to Queenstown.The Mayor of Queenstown received the message from the Schoolmaster with great joy and informed the Town Council members that the Schoolmaster would arrive in the morning. The Mayor then hurried to the cell and the gaoler opened the cell door.The boy sat there ,a look of defiance in his eyes.”Well boy,tomorrow you will be dealt with for the Schoolmaster of Birchwood is coming here to administer a good thrashing to you,I am sure that you and your kind will not be bothering us again after the Schoolmaster has seen you!”,the Mayor said excitedly.”Fuck you,I not afraid of any Schoolmaster,but I will get you and all of you little snobs,you see if I don’t!” the miscreant said.The Mayor left the cell when the wicked boy spat at him.The following morning at 10 am precisely the Schoolmaster sat in the Mayor of Queenstown’s carriage. As the carriage rumbled along the Schoolmaster gazed out at the winter countryside,the first snow had just fallen and a blanket of white covered the fields. The Schoolmaster sat back and folded his hands inside the large sleeves of his great coat.Next to him on the seat was his black leather Gladstone bag containing the leather tawse and his academic gown that he wore,it was a symbol of his officialdom,he closed his eyes and thought about what lay ahead.He abhorred crime in all it’s forms and was a firm believer that those thinking about entering a life of crime had to be caught before they done so and reminded ,warmly of their impending actions by means of corporal punishment .The Schoolmaster’s reputation was widely known ;he was strict and made sure that those who came before him were severely thrashed for their wrongdoing.After about thirty minutes the carriage rolled to a stop in front of the Queenstown Town Hall. The Schoolmaster stepped down from the carriage and was welcomed by the Mayor and the Town Council. Many citizens of the the harbour town of Queenstown had gathered to see the Schoolmaster,many were thankful that they were not the ones he would chastise today. The Schoolmaster was short in stature and quite plump ,he wore rounded spectacles halfway down his nose and glared at those in front of him making all those feel as çorum escort if they had done something wrong.”Welcome,kind Sir,thank you for attending so promptly ,” the Mayor said,smiling a broad smile.”It is my pleasure ,you have a beautiful town,” the Schoolmaster said as he glanced around,he did not smile.”Can I offer you tea,Schoolmaster,?” the Mayor asked.”Yes,I would like that,then show me to a room that I can use for my work,” the Schoolmaster said.The Mayor led the way inside the Town Hall,followed by the Schoolmaster,a boy holding the Schoolmaster’s Gladstone bag and then the Town Council Members .At the same time the miscreant was been taken from the cell along a narrow passage and up a flight of stairs,he was made to sit in front of a door,the Gaoler stood next to him and quipped, “This is last time you will be able to sit comfortably for sometime ,better make the most of it.””Fuck you!” the boy said.At the other side of the door the Schoolmaster was sipping his tea ,he was pleased to see tat the town of Queenstown had provided a cane he could use,but he had decided to start with the tawse ,perhaps the boy would repent quicker.After his tea the Schoolmaster donned his academic gown and took the tawse in his hand,he walked to the door and opened it.Suddenly the miscreant was filled with fear when he saw the tawse in the hands of the austere looking Schoolmaster.”Come inside boy,I believe you and I will have to get to know each other and I am sure that we will come to an understanding by the time I am finished with you,” the Schoolmaster said.”Please,Sir,I am sorry,I promise that I will never do what I have done again and I will apologize to the Mayor and the people,please,Sir,let me go,please !” the miscreant said,his eyes were wide and it was beginning to dawn on him that he was indeed in a lot of trouble.The Schoolmaster glared at the boy,he felt somewhat excited with the prospect of beating this ebony miscreant, the Schoolmaster’s professionalism had been called upon many times to chastise the wicked,boy male and female. The Schoolmaster suddenly reached out and grasped the boy’s ear,dragging him inside the room,the Gaoler closed the door and stayed outside. The Mayor and the other members of the Town Council joined the Gaoler outside to listen to what would happen for all had suffered at the hands of this band of miscreants.”Now boy,what is your name?” the Schoolmaster asked.”Nathaniel Wilson,Sir,” the boy said meekly.”Well,Mr.Wilson it is time you learned how to behave and to repent for your past wrongdoing,how old are you boy?” the Schoolmaster asked leading the boy to the table.”I’m nineteen ,Sir,what are you going to do with me?””I am going to thrash you,I want you bend over this table here,but first I want you to lower your breeches so that your bare posterior will be exposed;come denizli escort now boy,it will only be worse for you if you disobey!” the Schoolmaster said.Nathaniel stood facing the table,his heart was beating fast,he looked at the leather tawse in the hands of the Schoolmaster,he took a deep breath and said, “Please,Sir,not on my bare bum,please,Sir,I will do anything else!””Come now,boy,I have told you to do something,if you refuse I will see that you are tied by your wrists and I will ask for the use of a riding whip to use on you,either way I will see you bare your posterior for your punishment,” the Schoolmaster said.Nathaniel guessed that the Master was excited by this but he could not tell by the expression on the face of the Master but then he noticed a slight bulge in the Master’s trousers.”You will get off on this,Sir?” Nathaniel said with a smirk.”Breeches down boy and bend over the table,I shall not tell you again,” the Schoolmaster said.Nathaniel opened his breeches and allowed them to drop to the floor,he was not wearing any undergarments,he took a step forward and leaned over the desk,he heard the Master walk behind him.”Now ,boy prepare yourself.”,the Master said.Nathaniel closed his eyes and bit his bottom lip and then it happened,almost immediately there was a searing pain spreading around his firm bottom.He yelled,before he could catch his breath the Master brought the tawse down on his bottom again and again,two quick,hard slaps,Nathaniel exhaled through his mouth and screamed.The Mayor and the others outside nodded and the Mayor said,”I think that young man will not be bothering us again.”The Mayor felt his penis stiffen as dd many others outside the room,the miscreant was not without a certain charm despite his rude ways.Inside the room the Schoolmaster was hard at work thrashing the bare ebony bottom before him.The Master watched as the tawse struck the bare bottom,he heard Nathaniel cry out as the pain began to settle in and then he watched with increasing personal satisfaction at the boys bottom quivering,Nathaniel was shaking and cried, “Please,Sir,please,I have enough,I promise I will never do anything wrong again,please,Sir!”The Master ignored Nathaniel’s pleas and delivered a number of more hard slaps with the tawse.Nathaniel buckled at his knees and knelt on the floor sobbing uncontrollably as he vigorously rubbed his bare, welt covered bottom.The Schoolmaster looked down at him and said, “Well,young man it seems that you have now learned the results to your actions.””I have ,Sir,please SIr,I will do anything,please,Sir,” Nathaniel said through sobbing.”Anything,boy? well I could employ you at my home,I am in need of a stable boy,” the Schoolmaster said.Nathaniel found himself being brought to the Schoolmasters home,trying to sit comfortably opposite the Master in the carriage that belonged to the Mayor of Queenstown. There was many more beatings in store for Nathaniel in the Schoolmaster’s study until he began to realize that by working hard and doing as he was told would allow him to have a prosperous life.The Schoolmaster did find himself having to thrash the other members of the Street Urchin gang as each was caught in turn.
