It must be that people don’t understand the title. Xnx With a sound THWACK, the stick landed on my bum and as usual for a brief moment I felt no real pain and then a searing line of fire scorched across me. Danielle was ordered to bend over and touch her toes. However, on this occasion studies of Shakespeare’s Henry V (even though the passage under consideration made reference to “turning the Dauphin’s balls to gunstones” and I was hoping later that evening to have a similar effect on a certain young gentleman at a similar stage in his studies at the neighbouring Boys’ Grammar School) failed to completely distract my attention. Most of my classmates were invariably reduced to fits of uncontrollable sniggering when this part of the play was discussed. The usual of course!
