"Well you will need to be better. We will work on that together how is that?   I am glad you don't wish another teacher Beth, I am hoping we will get along very well.  Though as you can see this is a very special school. Unique means and ways of teaching.  I have one thing I will need you to do for me as Mattie did."<br/><br/>He sits her pad aside and leans to the bag he sat on the floor. Pulling out a collar exactly like the one he had already seen placed on Mattie and simply offered it to Beth.<br/><br/>"This is my collar, it will mark you as my student dear.  Place it on  so I know you wish me be your teacher.  Though do so knowing it means you yield to my guidance, and all I might decide do.  So place it knowing you are surrendering to my care."<br/><br/>He smiled and stood up moving closer for her to take the collar if she will.<br/><br/>"Yes.. it is so. I understand you didn't have the rules so some I might overlook.  However, some you know where going to get you punished Beth, I know you have looked at me with those defiant eyes a few times, as you are now.  Though if you take my collar, you take my punishment.  Decide so we can see to things and I can get you and Mattie back in here to to settle and rest tonight."
