Summary

Though best known for The Red Badge of Courage, his classic novel of men at war, in his tragically brief life and career Stephen Crane produced a wealth of stories—among them "The Monster," "The Upturned Face," "The Open Boat," and the title story—that stand among the most acclaimed and enduring in the history of American fiction. This superb volume collects stories of unique power and variety in which impressionistic, hallucinatory, and realistic situations alike are brilliantly conveyed through the cold, sometimes brutal irony of Crane's narrative voice.
Available since: 04/28/2010.

Evelyn Harris hears that James solved Kate’s problem and she asks him to do the same for her. Emma, her daughter, has got into bad company and needs some parental guidance, but Evelyn is a single mum and finds it challenging to spank Emma when she is naughty. James comes up with an idea and Evelyn agrees to be spanked when Emma is naughty until Emma agrees she should take the spanking. Emma agrees but calls the police to accuse James of assault. Luckily James has been recording all the spanking sessions so Emma is proven to be a liar so she gets an extra spanking for that. Soon Emma agrees that she has been naughty and her behaviour improves. Evelyn eventually marries the policeman who helped solve their problem.
