DIFFICULT DECISION WITH THE HELP OF...On an afternoon in July 1963 I was walking through the corridors of my comprehensive school in Gillingham, saying goodbye to the few teachers I had liked. Then I talked to my physics teacher, Frank Hodgson and my life changed forever.4.1. FI was 16 and I'd just taken my O-levels. My mother was earning 8 pounds a week in a factory. The 2 pounds a week that I could earn selling clothes at the market were not enough. Fortunately, the librarian at the City Library offered me a full-time job at 5 pounds a week. My mother and I talked it over but there was no way out. I had to leave school though I was doing well and had a chance of getting to university.4.2. EI knocked on the door of Frank Hodgson's classroom. "I came to say goodbye," I said. "I'm going to work at the library." "No, you're not," he answered, sternly. "You must give yourself a chance of taking A-levels. What's the pay?" he asked. "5 pounds a week." "Right," he said, "If it keeps you at school, I'll give your mother 5 pounds a week until you take the exams." Without any hesitation I accepted the suggestion.4.3. BWith the blessing of the City librarian who said I was better off out of it, I went back to Gillingham in September 1963 to start the sixth form and a period I regard as one of the happiest of my life. I managed to get top scores at A-levels and, in June 1965, I was offered an unconditional place at Cambridge.4.4. DA few days later, my mother gave me an envelope to deliver to Frank Hodgson. When I gave Frank the envelope, he looked into the mass of banknotes with amazement. "I've never saved this much money in my life," he said, laughing. The envelope contained all the money he'd given my mother. She hadn't spent any penny. She had kept me at school through her own efforts.

He wanted to leave his entire fortune for me but I had to get married before he died. I was not a greedy man, but the thought of losing 500,000 pounds for the sake of keeping my freedom did not seem sensible. I therefore decided to make the great sacrifice. Easier said that done. The doctor assured me that my uncle would be dead within two weeks. So I didn't have much time. You see, besides being 38, I was ugly. I was so ugly, in fact, that I had had all the mirrors in my doors removed so as not to frighten myself to death. I had no lady friends. I could not advertise myself as wealthy until my marriage. Advertise? What a good idea!That was it - advertise! I immediately put an ad in the newspapers. You will never believe it: I had three thousand replies. I was delighted at first. I opened them. The applicants' ages ranged from eighteen to eighty. I dismissed those over sixty. The rest were ladies with intellectual interests, young ladies with babies, heart-broken widows, blonds, brunettes, some tall and slender, some short and plump. There were musicians, linguists, shop girls, one lady dentist, amongst many others. Some offered love; others just companionship. Only a few asked how well off I was. I dismissed them too. My heart sank. I couldn't possibly read all the letters, let alone interview their authors. I would always be wondering whether I had chosen the best one. The idea was not so brilliant as I had expected. So, I burnt the letters, and went to a pub.At the pub I told Harry, the barman, about my uncle's decision and my search for a perfect wife. 'If you are serious,' he said, 'I can recommend my sister. She's an excellent cook, a good housekeeper and a cheerful person. She had been looking after my father. He died a few months ago and Alice is free now.' 'But is she keen on marrying?' I asked. 'Who knows? No harm in trying.' I got her address.I hurried to Alice's, having first bought a king-size box of milk chocolates. We chatted for half an hour, then I came to the point: 'Will you marry me?' She exclaimed. 'Are you off your head?' I told her how desperate I was. Again I asked the question. She said she would consider it. 'I'll give you fifteen minutes,' I said, not wishing to hurry her. I bit my nails for a quarter of an hour. Then: 'Yes or no?' She looked me up at down, skeptically. 'Yes,' she said. We married the next day and soon I inherited my uncle's fortune. Strangely enough, my wife and I are very happy with each other. I'm sorry to tell you that though I'm not poor now, I'm still ugly. So is Alice. Adapted from schoolnet.gov.mt6.1.
