Quick drabble
I was on my way to bed, but thought I'd just post this drabble, written for still_grrr - the theme this week is schools.
Title: Schooldays

AN: William's schooldays had a long-lasting influence.
The High Master at William's school knew exactly what sort of young man he wanted his august seat of learning to produce. A disciple himself of the great Dr Arnold, he was all for Muscular Christianity, cold baths, birching and self-control. Not so much for poetry, loose cravats and daydreaming about love.
Well over a century after his sudden demise from, it was rumoured, blood loss, he might have been surprised to find just how much interest his erstwhile pupil now took in developing his own muscles and in cold baths, the birch and rigid control. For other people, naturally.
