The Shoplifter - Free Gallery

Headmaster Tom is supervising Christine while she is doing her homework. His phone is shrilly ringing and he answers it rather impatiently. As he can't make head or tail of who is calling, he suggests it's a wrong number. However, the person making the call is insistent that he has the right number. What he says next shocks HM Tom - who is indignant that someone should be accusing one of his students of shoplifting. Meanwhile, Christine who could hear all this, is beginning to cringe and fidget. When HM Tom tells Christine to open her blouse, she is reluctant to do so, but she realizes that refusing to do as she is told is futile. Beneath her white school blouse she's wearing a black bra and moments before, HM Tom was telling Mr Wilson from a shop in town, that the girls at GBS are strictly forbidden to wear black underwear. Therefore, HM Tom is embarrassed. And he apologizes to Mr Wilson and promises to punish Christine and suggests that he stays on the phone and listens while poor Christine receives corporal punishment. Christine is ordered to remove her blouse and the offending bra then bend over the table. With a wooden paddle, he makes toast of her bottom. Mr Wilson on the other end of the phone can hear everything - the sound of the paddle making contact with her bottom - her screams of pain - what he can't see are the tears running down her face. HM Tom gets back on the phone to check if Mr Wilson is satisfied with the way he has treated Christine, the answer is yes and he won't be contacting the police. HM Tom hands the phone to Christine - telling her to apologize to Mr Wilson. Rather hesitantly she says she is sorry and it won't happen again. When HM Tom hangs up the phone, he tells Christine her punishment is not over yet. Ordering her to remove her trousers knickers and shoes, so that she is completely naked, she is to stand against the wall for two hours with her hands on her head. When her fellow students at Girls Boarding School come home - Christine and her very red bottom will be in full view. After the two hours she is to get dressed and go back to the shop and return the black bra.
