Charm School
“There were switches everywhere. Switches to the right of her, switches to the left, and switches on the panel under the glass window through which she could see Mrs Opalene lecturing everyone on how to cope with all that nasty hard skin at the back of their heels.

Or should she have a go? After all, Maura might be very late. Or she mi...ght even have forgotten she was supposed to be there at all.
Bonny looked up. There on the panel right above her head was one big red master switch, labelled POWER.
