The punishment should go to the one who committed the crime.

"And you don't know yet what your punishment is going to be?"

"And did he tell you just how severe your punishment was going to be?"

The punishment went on and on as if it would never end.

So, like it or not, the little Domina's punishment was going to have to wait.

The semiconscious Drizzt did not know how long the punishment had gone on.

"You want to ask me how long your punishment is going to last."

"If you don't, your punishment is going to go even harder!"

The punishment for that land ofoffense could go on forever.

But I also maintain that every person and group can say when his sentence and punishment has gone on long enough.
