I had seen this punishment meted out for thievery and similar behaviour in the King’s German Legion, and it was a most efficacious deterrent.Two lin...es of soldiers, usually twenty men each side, face each other; they are armed with switches or canes, or sometimes horse whips, and the miscreant runs between them as they belabour him. So that the man does not run too fast, and escapes a good beating, his legs are tied together and is forced to hop or hobble along the ranks. I chose the forty. May said to Mary, "A lot of people use a colored one for specialoccasions. I know green isn't a regular color that you think ofwhen you think of maids but I have one that would match hisearrings perfectly. Should we try it on him?" Mary said yes. May helped him get it on.

Art took a long swig of beer as his hand reached his balls then. ‘Dinner is just about prepared and we were just about to have our tea break any way… so I suppose just this once it wouldn’t hurt.’ By the time Mrs Coats and her young assistant came back, Jessie had put on some music and pulled out a couple of bottles of wine, and the four of them sat around demolishing cakes and laughing hysterically at each other. Their little impromptu party developed into a little impromptu dancing and that was how Daniel and Richard found them. They had come in through.
