"I have always had a certain loathing of schoolmasters, feeling them to be a corrupt body of creatures on the whole... I'm not an educated man: I'm a drop-out. I left school at sixteen... It was to revenge myself on schoolmasters that I became an actor." His own unhappy experiences very much in mind, Robert Morley swore that none of his three children should go to an English public school. When Sheridan, the eldest, was eight, Morley advertised in The Times for a school with 'no sports and a comfortable hotel standard of living'; and found one! The other children had equally unconventional educations, and all of them have thrived on it.
