Is he at the local school?
-
He is,
-
but he's trying for a scholarship to Ripon Grammar.
-
Ah. Is that a realistic prospect?
-
I think so.
-
He has a real talent for mathematics and...
-
his teachers believe it's worth a try.
-
Well done him. I'm impressed.
-
Perhaps I can put in a word.
-
I'm sure I should say 'He wants to do it all by himself',
-
but I'm not proud, so if you can say anything, m'lord,
-
then, for heavens' sake do.
