(It was late autumn of 1960 and I, David Shaw, was 20 years old and was following my hobby of bird watching. I had unfortunately been detained by Miss Amelia Wiff-Naseford, headmistress, for being an alleged 'Peeping Tom' in the grounds of 'Dentwood Finishing School for Tall Girls aged 18 to 20 years old' one Friday. There were 120 girls registered at the school. Clearly I was not a so called 'pervert' but I could not prove it as I was caught with a pair of binoculars.
I had decided not to get the local police involved by agreeing to submit myself to the traditional 'Punishment Rules of the School' as applied to 'Peeping Toms'. This involved being stripped naked and spread-eagled on the headmistress' study carpet, and tethered with ropes and leather straps to metal rings set in floorboards at each corner of the room. I was then required to orally pleasure the 'whole' school. This is part twenty six of my sorry tale.)

After my shower the Japanese girls dried me carefully and found a dressing gown for me to wear. It was several sizes too small and it did not hide my stonking erection which now bobbed about obscenely from between the loosely tied fronts.
I stayed with them until five o'clock, when, on the dot, Matron arrived with my clothes.
She winked at me and asked me how the "sucky-suck" went.
I just told her to shut up and pass me my clothes. I got dressed there and then and noticed that they had been washed and ironed. I felt human again and smiled at the twenty or so diminutive young women and bowed to them on my way to the door.
"Gokouun o inorimasu," said one girl.
"Oyasuminasai," said another.
I bowed and said thank you, but I had no idea what they were saying.
"Dewa mata," said Matron unexpectedly as we left the room.
"They said 'good luck' and 'good night'," she said "And I said 'see you'," she continued as I stared at her amazed. Molly was the last person I expected to know Japanese but she had picked it up when she had been taken as a prisoner of war in the Far East during the War. She had served as a medical orderly in Singapore.
I punched her in the buttocks and sped off to see Miss Wiff-Naseford. I don't know why but I was feeling quite happy and upbeat. I thought that the punishment would soon be over as I had only the staff to orally pleasure. I knocked on the headmistress' door and heard the familiar voice from the other side.
"Come in Tom, we're expecting you,"
As I turned the door handle and looked in and I couldn't believe my eyes. All the staff was there and they appeared to be just about to start a cocktail party. There was a cold buffet set out on Miss Wiff-Naseford's desk which had been pushed against a wall. I noticed canapΓ©s, French cheeses, pickles, cold Italian meats and various mixed salads.
There were wine, sherry and whisky bottles on a smaller table, and various sized glasses.
The ladies were wearing evening attire. Some of them looked very glamorous and fetching in their short black dresses, stiff net petticoats and black stilettos. There was a smell of expensive perfume hanging in the air.
"Have a drink dear boy, have a drink," said Miss Wiff-Naseford as I noticed her voluptuous figure encased in purple tulle and taffeta.
I helped myself to a large whisky and surveyed the crowd. There must have been ten teachers in the room; I must admit I was expecting more, but the headmistress explained that the married teachers lived off campus and usually left at five o'clock promptly. I recognised Angela Richardson the geography teacher, Muriel Browne, the classics mistress, Martine Hamilton, the French teacher and one or two others from the high table.
"Tom, we're not having our evening meal in the refectory so do please help yourself to food; there's quite a nice cold pasta salad with ham which I can recommend," said the head mistress clearly enjoying being the congenial host.
I helped myself to some food and joined a small group of teachers who appeared to be talking about the autumn term and how their girls were progressing with their deportment exams and etiquette. I tried to join in but found that I had little to add to the conversation so just stood there and ate, nodding at anything that any of them said.
I poured myself another whisky and then joined another group surrounding Lesley Hopkins, the games mistress who was talking about health and how important it was for the modern girl to keep herself fit for all that life had to throw at her. When she started on about childbirth I withdrew, had another whisky and joined Miss Wiff-Naseford and Molly.
"Ah Tom," the overdressed harridan began, "Only this lot to pleasure and the catering staff and that's it. I hear you have already pleasured the three cleaners. I hope they didn't frighten you; they are all ex-convicts from Hollowmoor Scrubs and have served time for molesting young men," she continued watching the horrified look on my face.
"Yes I think you were lucky to escape with your life; they only work here because of our 'female-only' strictures," she said.
"Anyway Tom we will have to get you ready for the ladies won't we?" exclaimed Miss Wiff-Naseford, clearly intent on getting the show on the road.
"Gather round ladies," said the headmistress clapping her hands. I noticed her pick up a cushion and drop it on the floor.
