"...Elliott and Edward were sent to what many people would think was the best Protestant school in Ireland:
Portora Royal School in Enniskillen.
By their own accounts, they learned little or nothing there...
Every year on Speech Day at Portora, (If Elliott and Edward were to be believed), the headmaster exhorted the assembled school that it was neither here nor there that they learned nothing at all because, wherever they went in the world, they only had to announce that they had been to Portora and every door would be open to them."-
Homan Potterton-Rathcormick, p.13.
As Rupert Brook would have said, "would it were"! J.C.
