Personal Quote:
Actually, my boarding school days were very happy. When I was 5, my mother married . . . someone, and they wanted to go off, so I was sort of pushed off to boarding school, but it became the most solid part of my life. There were the same boys, term in and term out, and in fact it was the holidays that were never stable. I never knew in what hotel, in what town, I would find my mother.
