Из речи свидетеля на свадьбе:

In spite then of all this evidence to the contrary - he was and continued to be, painfully academic.
Leaving the local Grammar School with 4 A’s and 1 B at A-Level and going onto to graduate in Mathematics from the University of Warwick he now has more letters after - than he does in - his own name.

Стремился к учебе?
