The headmistress was the worst...I remember one time a boy (they were allowed in the school until the age of 7) talked during assembly. She flew down the room and grabbed him by the ear, dragging him out of the room. Nothing as bad as your recollections Trinity but bad enough. I can't remember all the things but it was enough to make me realise that there was a big disconnect between practice and preaching. I had a lot of satisfaction when one nun was visibly not enjoying her semolina but had to eat because, of course, we had to think of the starving in Africa.
