May 1, 1900: Lord Saltire enrolled in the Priory School [PRIO]
I must inform you, gentlemen, that the Priory is a preparatory school, of iwhich I am the founder and principal. Huxtable’s Sidelights on Horace may possibly recall my name to your memories.

Little did I think that this would be the prelude to the most crushing misfortune of my life.
