"Yes, I was an utter fool to be taken in by the excellent teaching standards and their consistently high performance in league tables."

"Daddy you can't expect me to stay here" "It's like Hogwarts for pikeys." "It's a little rough around the edges, darling." "But that's part of the fun of the place." "Here is a breakdown of the school fees." "Whisky?" "There seems to be some kind of mistake." "The Bursar never makes mistakes about money, unless it's for tax purposes." "But what about... a family discount?" "Family discount!" "You discounted the family years ago, Carnaby Fritton, when you ruined Great Aunt Millicent with your hair-brained schemes."
