  Rowena Dashforth sat on the bed in her room at her
  grandparents' house in Wormsford St Cuthbert.  She still
  couldn't get over the astonishing scenes she had just
  witnessed at church.  The four children of the vicar had
  been publicly stripped, spanked and caned by their father in
  order to demonstrate to his parishioners the desirability of
  beating sin from their children.
  
  Many of the congregation had taken his words to heart.  Mr
  Wakefield, for instance, had held little Lisa under his left
  arm and spanked the seven-year-old's tiny bottom every few
  paces all the way to from the church to his house, which was
  a considerable distance.  The little girl's yells had
  attracted attention and her bright red bottom had provided a
  literally glowing testimonial to the vicar's words of wisdom
  for any non-churchgoers.  And at that very moment eight-
  year-old Elizabeth Merchant's mother was spanking her
  daughter with a hairbrush.  This was bad enough for dear
  little Lizzie, but what was worse was that the neighbours,
  disturbed by the noise, had popped round to see if
  everything was OK and been invited in to watch.  In fact, at
  various houses around the village children were being
  spanked slippered, strapped and caned on their bare bottoms
    usually with an interested audience of family and friends.
  
  Rowena remembered the shock when the Reverend Daniel Shore
  had first stripped his children to their underwear and then
  removed even this protection before beating them.  She had
  felt sorry for the two youngest children, Jonathan and Lucy,
  although she had been eager to see the ten-year-old's little
  willy exposed as being an only child she'd had few
  opportunities for seeing boys' thingies. Lucy had not been
  so interesting as being a girl she knew just what to expect
  down there, but Rowena had been pleased to see the conceited
  Marcia, who was the same age, humiliated   although she'd
  had to concede that the vicar's daughter was more physically
  advanced than she herself was.  But it was Matthew who had
  really stirred her emotions.
  
  Rowena had a considerable crush on the thirteen-year-old
  boy, although she supposed   erroneously   that he did not
  notice her.  To see the boy of her dreams stripped naked was
  a fantasy she'd often had recently in the dark privacy of
  her bed as her long fingers caressed that newly discovered
  button of ultimate pleasure between her legs, but never in
  her wildest and most erotic dreams had she believed it would
  come true.  But there he was, the good-looking athletic lad
  utterly nude at the front of the church.  And she'd had an
  intimate view from the privileged Dashforth family pew.  But
  she'd also felt a huge wave of compassion for the boy of her
  dreams especially when he had been soundly beaten by his
  father.  But before then, she recalled, BEFORE THEN! Matthew
  had had an erection   a boner as some of the boys and girls
  referred to it.  Rowena was not totally innocent   she'd had
  sex education for God's sake!  She knew a boy's thingy could
  go stiff, but to see it suddenly rise so long, strong and
  hard!  It was like magic.  The very thought of it started
  again those strange sensations between her thighs.  Her hand
  moved under her skirt to the suddenly lubricated crotch of
  her panties.
  
  Downstairs, Colonel Dashforth was commending the Vicar's
  methods.  "Damned good chap, the padre.  Certainly gave
  those kids of his what for   what!  That Lucy's got a sweet
  little arse on her   what!  Glad to see that prude Marcia
  taken down a peg or two - damned toffee-nosed brat!  My, but
  she's becoming quite the little woman, isn't she?  Tits and
  hair, by Jove!  Tits and hair!"
  
  "Yes," agreed his wife, who was well used to her husband's
  unconventional style of speech and even shared some of his
  eccentricities, "I've noticed her changing shape over the
  past few months.  She certainly is a snooty little madam  
  I'll bet there were more than a few there today who were
  pleased to see her get her bum basted!  But what about the
  boys?  That Matthew is a fine upstanding lad   what!"
  
  "Ha!  Upstanding is the word!  That's the trouble with
  cocks, they stand to attention at the most awkward times."
  
  "So I noticed," smiled his wife dryly with a significant nod
  towards the front of his own trousers.  "There was more than
  one man there with a stiff prick.  And I detected our dear
  granddaughter was more than just dewy-eyed when she saw that
  lad's cock crowing."
  
  "Ha!  Dewy down there as well, you mean!  My, but she's a
  pretty little thing, though - what!  I wonder whether we
  might not take a leaf out of the vicar's book?"
  
  "I don't see why not," his wife smiled indulgently, "We are
  in loco parentis while Roger and Jill are away.  I think
  Jill is much too lenient with her, and Rowena can twist
  Roger around her little finger.  But don't be too hasty,
  dear," she added as the eager warrior jumped to his feet, "I
  think we should leave the business until after lunch."
  
  "What!  Why?"
  
  "Because we invited Jeremy and Sybil Welkin to Sunday lunch
  and they're bringing their boys.  If we are going to take a
  leaf out of the Vicar's book we may as well follow chapter
  and verse and have an audience."
  
  "By Jove!  What!"
  
                             *
                              
  Rowena knew nothing of her impending doom.  She had been
  spanked a few times in her twelve years of life   what child
  hadn't   but what her grandmother said was true.  Her mother
  was tolerant of her bad moods and generally ignored her
  misbehaviour.  As for her father, she only had to open her
  big blue eyes so that they glistened and pull down her
  pretty little lips and his anger melted.  So when Mr and Mrs
  Welkin and their sons David, 11, and Charles, 10, arrived
  for lunch she thought entertaining the boys was going to be
  just another boring chore.  How little she knew!
  
  Halfway through lunch Mrs Dashforth brought the morning's
  events into the conversation.
  
  "Good Lord!" Jeremy Welkin said, "Do you mean he undressed
  them then and there and beat them?" 
  
  "Exactly so" Mrs Dashforth smiled blithely, "and we are
  going to just the same to Rowena later." 
  
  "What!?"  Four pairs of Welkin eyes swivelled in Rowena's
  direction."
  
  "Grandma!  You can't!  I won't!  You shan't  Don't !"
  
  "Don't be impertinent child!  That is just one of your many
  faults that your parents have left uncorrected.  I can't
  think what your father is thinking of not spanking you more
  often.  We certainly spanked him and his sister regularly
  enough when they were children!  Now, be quiet and eat up
  your pudding."
  
  But poor Rowena had quite lost her appetite.
  
  After Rowena had helped clear the table, the four adults and
  two boys arranged themselves around the drawing room and
  Rowena became the centre of attention.  The ambitious Jeremy
  Welkin was eager for the support and approval of the locally
  influential Colonel, and his wife shared his social
  aspirations.  As for the boys, they just wanted to see
  Rowena without any clothes.  Because Rowena was very, very
  pretty.  She had long, bright blonde hair that was now
  caught in an Alice band before  streaming like a golden
  waterfall over her shoulders.  She was used to her blue
  eyes, perfect teeth, high cheekbones and dimpled chin
  attracting admiring glances wherever her feet trod.  But
  today the gazes were rather less respectful.  The two boys,
  and even the adults, stared at Rowena's fresh young body
  impatiently waiting for the moment when all would be
  revealed.
  
  Colonel Dashforth grasped his granddaughter's wrist and
  pulled the young girl across his tweedy knees.  He ran his
  right hand from the back of her knees above her white socks,
  up along her bare thighs, pushing up the skirt of her dress
  as he went.  He revealed Rowena's tight white knickers.  He
  slid his hand over the silky smooth material, following the
  resilient roundness of her bottom cheeks and running his
  fingers along the indentation of her bottom crease.  He
  enjoyed the sensation.  It reminded him of happy times
  spanking his own children.  His wife had always been a
  strict disciplinarian, especially when he was away on army
  service, but she always made sure there was a long list of
  naughtiness by their two children when he began his leaves. 
  So he always had ample excuse to soundly spank the boy and
  girl as soon as he arrived home.
  
  But today it was his pretty little granddaughter that
  Colonel Dashforth was due to spank.  He took the elastic
  waist of her panties and slowly pulled them down while the
  embarrassed twelve-year old sniffled and squirmed with shame
  as her bottom was gradually revealed.  The two boys, and
  their parents, goggled at the flawless pale cheeks of
  Rowena's rear.  Once again Colonel Dashforth pressed his
  palm against the rubbery rotundity, indenting the firm flesh
  with his fingertips.  His hand moved.  He used his thumb and
  forefinger to spread Rowena's buttocks, opening the central
  crease to expose the dark puckered ring of her bum hole.
  
  "Wow! said David.
  
  "Yeah great!" agreed Charles.
  
  Colonel Dashforth's hand left his granddaughter's bottom and
  was raised high above it.  He brought his palm swiftly down
  in a sharp Smack! against the middle of her bottom leaving a
  red handprint, split by her crack, across her buttocks. 
  "Ouch!" squealed Rowena.  Her grandfather slapped again  
  and kept on slapping   giving his grandchild a sound
  spanking that soon had her crying.  The excited boys watched
  open-mouthed as the young girl's legs flailed the air,
  giving them the most intimate views between her thighs.
  
  At last Colonel Dashforth stopped spanking Rowena's bottom
  and told the girl to get to her feet.  She danced around the
  room, rubbing her red bottom and howling loudly.  But now
  Mrs Dashforth said, "Now you can take off all your clothes,
  Rowena."
  
  "Oh no, Grandma!  Please don't make me!"
  
  "Do you never do anything without arguing, you disobedient
  child!" Mrs Dashforth answered angrily.  She jumped up,
  grabbed the crying girl and swiftly stripped off her dress
  and tiny bra leaving her wearing nothing but her knee-high
  white socks and nylon knickers around her ankles.  Utterly
  mortified, Rowena sent out new wails of misery at this
  indignity.
  
  The watching Welkins saw a pale body with small, freshly
  formed breasts and prominent pudenda unconcealed by the
  light growth of almost invisible blonde hair.  Rowena tried
  desperately to hide her exposed genital cleft behind fine-
  boned fingers, but her grandmother callously slapped her
  hands away.
  
  "Wowee!" exclaimed David, gawping at Rowena's private parts.
  
  "Yeah great!" agreed his brother gaping at this virgin
  territory.
  
  "Put your hands on your head and step out of these
  knickers,"  Mrs Dashforth said in the commanding tone of one
  her husband's sergeant majors.
  
  Obediently, Rowena lifted her feet while her grandmother
  held the underwear.  Mrs Dashforth's lip curled in disgust
  as she looked at the panties.  "look at this," she said to
  the other adults as she turned the knickers inside out to
  display the stained crutch, "the dirty little toad has been
  playing with herself.  I'll bet she's been getting excited
  over seeing that boy Matthew Shore in church this morning."
  
  Poor Rowena sobbed guiltily at the truth of this surmise
  while the two boys tried to get a closer look at the damp
  marks on Rowena's panties.  Their own underwear was
  sometimes stained with urine, but this they supposed to be
  different   a girly thing.
  
  But at this point the ambitious and perceptive Mrs Welkin
  realised that if she and her husband were to rise in the
  Dashforths' esteem they were going to have to take a more
  active role than mere spectators.  Accordingly, she now
  turned on her sons and said,  "And you two needn't sit there
  staring at Rowena like two little saints.  You are both long
  overdue for a spanking!"
  
  "But Mum," David foolishly protested, "I haven't done
  anything."
  
  "No, you haven't tidied your room, you haven't done your
  chores, or your homework properly come to that, if what your
  teachers say is right," Mrs Welkin declared and pulled him
  from his seat by the belt of his shorts.  Jeremy Welkin was
  not slow to follow his wife's lead and Charles too was
  hauled to his feet.  The parents quickly undid belts and
  unzipped flies and I seconds the boys' shorts were bundled
  around their feet.  Jeremy slipped down Charles's underwear,
  but Sybil Welkin was delayed because the elder son's
  miniature erection was amusingly sticking through the slit
  fly in his underpants through which he normally poked his
  soft willy for weeing.
  
  "What's this," demanded his mother, taking the offending
  projection between her finger and thumb and wagging it from
  side to side.  "Have you been excited by seeing Rowena
  without any clothes?  You disgusting little boy!"
  
  "Mum!" squeaked David, his voice high-pitched in protest at
  his mother's cavalier manipulation of that most personal
  part of his body.
  
  "Don't you 'Mum' me, you filthy minded brat," snapped his
  mother, jerking the lad's penis this way and that as she
  unhooked his pants from that projecting peg.
  
  "This one's just the same," commented her husband, "stiff as
  a poker and only just ten-years-old!  I don't know what the
  world's coming to, dirty little toad."
  
  Sybil Welkin deftly finished stripping her elder son while
  her husband did the same to Charles.  Sybil turned David
  round to face Rowena and her grandparents and once again
  Jeremy Welkin followed suit.  "There," said Sybil, "you can
  confront the girl you're so excited about."
  
  Rowena had enough humiliation of her own to worry about the
  sensitivities of two little boys and set aside her misery
  long enough to stare avidly at the bobbing knobs naked pair. 
  They made five cocks she'd seen today, including the boy
  switched in the churchyard.  But now David and Charles were
  put across their parents' laps for a sound spanking on their
  rather flat little bottoms.  Mr and Mrs Welkin were
  obviously enthusiastic spankers who had had plenty of
  practice over the years.  Both boys were soon yelling and
  kicking wildly as their cheeks turned dark red.  Then Sybil
  paused.  "Perhaps you'd like to finish off spanking the
  boys," she proposed.
  
  "Well, thank you, Sybil," the colonel said with alacrity,
  "Which would you like, m'dear?" he politely asked his wife.
  
  "Oh, you can take David and I'll have little Charles," she
  answered and soon the boys were transferred across the room
  and again they were being spanked.
  
  "Do feel free to spank Rowena, both of you," Mrs Dashforth
  offered airily.  The Welkin couple took full advantage of
  her generosity.  First Sybil stretched Rowena over her lap
  and slapped her young bottom, then Jeremy held the
  struggling pubescent girl across his knees and soundly
  smacked her bouncing buttocks and threshing thighs.
  
  When it was decided that the children had had enough
  spanking for the time being, Mrs Dashforth said, "We are
  going to cane Rowena later after tea.  Rowena's aunt and
  uncle   that's our daughter, Deirdre and John, our son-in-
  law   are coming.  They have a little boy of nine and a girl
  of seven so it will make a nice audience for the naughty
  girl."
  
  "Well, thank you, we'd love to stay," Sybil said, "but may
  we take advantage and ask that you cane our two as well. 
  They're in need of a dose of the stick."
  
  This conversation brought redoubled wails from all three
  kids, but the adults were resolute and soon the juvenile
  trio were stood   still naked   in the hall with their hands
  on their heads awaiting the arrival of the others.
  
  A couple of hours later the doorbell finally rang to let in
  John and Deirdre Mill and their children Anthony, 9, and
  Emily, 7.  The children   and adults   went wide-eyed as
  they saw the three bare bottoms displayed in the hall. 
  "Well I recognise, Rowena," commented Deirdre, "although
  I've not seen her bum in a while, but who are the two little
  boys?"
  
  "Oh just the children of some people we had over for lunch,
  dear," replied her mother.  "We had to spank Rowena and
  Jeremy and Sybil decided to join in with their two.  We are
  going to cane the three of them after tea."
  
  "Well I wish you'd do our two as well," Deirdre answered
  heartlessly, "They've been little pests ever since they got
  up this morning and they've done nothing but squabble on the
  way here." 
  
  "Certainly, dear," agreed Mrs Dashforth and led her other
  two grandchildren into the drawing room by their ears.
  
  "What ho!  What've you two been up to," demanded their
  grandfather jovially, as his wife pushed little Emily in his
  direction.
  
  "They've been a pain in the bum, Daddy," Deirdre said as her
  father slipped little Emily's dress over her head.  She felt
  no pity for her small daughter.  She remembered all too well
  the awful anticipation of this preparation.  She had been
  denuded for a spanking by her father many more times than
  she could recall when she herself had been a child.
  Sometimes it had happened in front of other people.  She
  remembered the embarrassment as well as the pain of
  punishment and the discomfort afterwards, but she didn't
  believe it had done her any real harm.  She looked on
  without concern as her father took Emily's flower fairy
  panties down.  Her mother had already stripped Anthony.  She
  was so ruthlessly efficient whereas her father always had
  liked to take his time.  She knew he enjoyed it   well, they
  both did   but she did not think that mattered particularly. 
  She quite enjoyed spanking the kids herself!
  
  Colonel Dashforth pulled his little granddaughter over his
  knees and playfully patted her tiny bottom.  "It really does
  seem too cruel to spank such a wee thing   what!" he
  remarked.
  
  Little Emily squirmed enterprisingly, hoping to wriggle
  free.  "Whoa!," laughed Deirdre, grabbing her daughter by a
  flapping foot and tugging her backwards.  "Granddad isn't
  really letting you off, you silly girl.  Now, just lie there
  quietly and take what Granddad's going to give you."   
    
  "Let her off!" chuckled the colonel, "Never heard of such a
  thing   what!"  And demonstrate the absurdity of that idea
  he slapped Emily's bottom hard, making her yell loudly.  It
  was the first smack   and yell   of many.
       
  Rowena, David and Charles   still naked and with their hands
  firmly planted on their heads - had been brought back into
  the room by Jeremy and Sybil Welkin  Sybil had rather
  amusingly led her sons by their little dangling penises,
  whereas her husband had ushered Rowena through the door by
  placing his hand on her bottom and pushing firmly while
  painfully pinching her inflamed cheeks between his thumb and
  forefinger.  Now released at least from these humiliations,
  the children stood in a line watching Anthony and Emily
  being undressed and spanked.  They did not enjoy it as much
  as they might have done what with the pain in their own
  bottoms and the promise of a caning to come, quite apart
  from the fact that there were two more adults added to the
  witnesses of their shame. Because Deirdre and John Mill made
  no secret of their curiosity.
  
  John Mill, uncle to Rowena only by marriage, closely
  examined her nude form.  "My word, Rowena," he said, "the
  last time I saw you in your birthday suit was when you were
  just a baby having a bath.  You've grown a lot since then! 
  Nice little titties coming and I believe you've even got
  hair down there."  He stooped with his nose only inches from
  his niece's groin and stared hard.  "Yes," he decided,
  "although it's so fine, fair and faint you can hardly see
  it.  You are growing up. You'll be having periods next  
  unless you are already, that is."
  
  "Well, Rowena," snapped her grandmother, "answer your uncle
    have you started your periods?"
  
  "No," Rowena whispered, her face ablaze with shame at such a
  personal question
  
  "Speak up!" ordered her Grandmother.
  
  "No," Rowena said loudly.
  
  "Don't be so rude, Rowena, 'No, Uncle John' is what you
  should say.  I can see you still haven't learned any
  manners.  Perhaps Uncle John smacking your legs will teach
  you to improve them."
  
  "Oh no," moaned Rowena, but John Mill need no more
  encouragement, as he repeatedly slapped both the fronts and
  back of Rowena's thighs while she stood twisting and turning
  desperately though making sure to keep her feet firmly
  rooted to the carpet for fear of further reprisals.  All of
  which was most entertaining for the spectators.  A bit too
  entertaining for poor David whose penis stretched and
  stiffened again in response to this.
  
  "Oh I say," Deirdre said to Sybil, "your little boy has got
  a hard on."
  
  "Yes, he's a disgusting child. If you'd like to give him
  what your husband is giving Rowena it might do some good."
  
  Deirdre needed no second invitation.  She quickly crossed to
  where the naked lad was standing with his hands on his head
  and began smacking his legs hard.  Like Rowena, he wriggled
  and writhed, which in his case made his willy wag comically,
  but not being allowed to move from where he stood he could
  do nothing to avoid the stinging slaps that soon turned his
  thighs bright red.  The punishment must have done some good
  because his erection eventually began to sag to a small
  drooping finger of flesh.
  
  By this time Anthony's and Emily's spankings were done and
  the two nude children were allowed to hop howling around the
  room clutching the little red bottoms.
  
  "Hm, another session in the hall, I think," Colonel
  Dashforth said, "and then we'll move on to the canings."
  
  So the children - now five in number   were lined up in the
  hall, a girl at each end and the three boys in the middle so
  that their heads went down in steps and their bottoms
  diminished in size from Rowena's swelling cheeks to Emily's
  cute little bum.  The adults returned to the drawing room
  where they drank tea, ate scones and discussed how many
  strokes of the cane to give the kids anxiously waiting
  outside the door.  It was decided that even little Emily
  should have a sample two strokes, then her brother, Anthony,
  four, Charles Welkin six, his brother, David eight and the
  Dashforth's elder granddaughter, Rowena, a full ten cuts
  with the cane.  This decision having been made the adults
  filled their time with idle chit-chat to allow a proper
  period of apprehensive reflection for the five children. 
  Eventually, though, they called the children inside, but now
  one at a time, starting with little Emily.
  
  Colonel Dashforth had quite a collection of canes and for
  his seven-year-old granddaughter he had selected a light,
  curly-handled rattan that he had often used on his own
  children when they were small.  In fact, Deirdre, sitting on
  the sofa, felt her own bottom tingle from the memory  
  although she also recalled how much harsher were the
  thrashings she received as she grew older and graduated to
  more severe implements.
  
  Emily was bent over the arm of the chair.  The colonel took
  aim.  He seemed only to flick his wrist to land the stick
  squarely across Emily's tiny cheeks, but the red weal and
  Emily's squealing squirming reaction was evidence enough of
  the efficacy of the colonel's technique.  After a short
  pause a second streak was laid alongside the first after
  which the crying child was allowed up, but only to stand
  facing the wall with her hands on her head.
  
  Anthony came in looking scared.  For him the colonel
  selected a slightly longer, thicker cane that he intended to
  use on him and the two Welkin boys.  Anthony bent his naked
  body over the armchair vacated by his sister and presented
  his little red bottom for the stick.  The colonel took his
  time caning his grandson and delivered a measured four
  swishing strokes to the little boy's tender bottom that had
  him howling.  After that he joined his sister along the
  wall.
  
  Charles entered nervously.  He had felt the cane across his
  bottom a good few times in his ten years of life, both at
  home and at his private school, but never before on top of
  such severe spankings.  His bum already felt horribly sore
  and now the stern military man he had come to fear was
  waving a whippy length of rattan through the air making it
  whistle threateningly while pointing at a leather armchair. 
  Charles got the message and bent across it for six of the
  best that made him yell loudly.  He then tearfully went
  alongside the two Mill children.
  
  Outside in the hall, David and Rowena had listened to the
  proceedings with ever increasing alarm.  They were not
  stupid.  They could count that every child's punishment
  increased from that of the child before and guessed that
  this sequence was set to continue.  Plus, the whistle of the
  cane through the air and the crack as it hit the skin was
  growing louder in each case.  Sybil Mills came and called in
  her elder son, leaving poor Rowena waiting fretfully alone
  in the hall.
  
  David tried to be brave, but he couldn't help sniffling as
  he confronted the colonel and the other adults.  They looked
  at the little lad.  Above his knees his legs were still
  bright red from where Deirdre had given them a good slapping
  and this accentuated his little bag of balls and slack willy
  dangling before.
  
  "Ha!  Not so bold now," commented the colonel, lifting the
  little limp penis with the tip of his cane.  David's sniffs
  increased.  "Bend over that armchair boy," commanded the
  colonel ruthlessly.
  
  Eight times the cane whistled through the air to crack
  across David's bottom  David yipped and yelled, wriggled and
  writhed and several strokes before the end he had burst into
  tears.  Outside in the hall, Rowena jumped and shuddered at
  every stroke   not from sympathy for the luckless David, but
  in fearful trepidation of her own ordeal to come.
  
  "Rowena!"  The summons came from her grinning Uncle John. 
  "Your grandfather is ready for you now."  His eyes leered at
  her naked form as she turned  - hands still stuck to her
  head   to enter the room.  She blushed hotly once again,
  though she soon had more important things to worry about as
  she entered the room and saw the four other children wailing
  against the wall, each bare bottom decorated with its ration
  of red lines.  Her grandfather, meanwhile, was rummaging at
  a bundle of rattan canes.  He produced one, cut the air
  making a terrifying whistle.
  
  I think this'll do," he muttered and then turned to Deirdre
  and said, "You remember this one?"
  
  Deirdre shuddered theatrically   though her response was not
  entirely play-acting.  "Boy   do I!" she said.  She pulled a
  face of mock sympathy at Rowena.  "It may not look too
  thick," she told the doomed girl, " but it's long and
  incredibly whippy, and stings like a swarm of hornets."
  
  Rowena began to cry.  "I've never been caned before," she
  wailed.
  
  "More fool your father!" Colonel Dashforth snapped
  heartlessly.  "Bend over that armchair and stick your bottom
  out."
  
  Miserably, Rowena obeyed.  Ten times that whippy length of
  rattan whistled down to impart its kiss of pain on the
  pubescent girl's buttocks. Ten times Rowena shrieked.  Ten
  times her hips rolled on the padded arm of the chair and her
  coltishly long legs kicked wildly wide.  The audience of
  adults enjoyed the spectacle.
  
  Eventually Rowena joined the other children against the
  wall.  The colonel looked at the well punished line of
  bottoms and harrumphed in satisfaction.
  
  "A damned good afternoon's work," he observed.
