The kids had to be tested in a number of areas. Certainly they had all passed sex ed with High Distinctions. In fact Very High Distinctions. Bran had put his reading and writing theory into practice with the kids and with Ric. I could not believe the progress Ric made. Within less than a month Ric was reading. He had two hours every day with Bran and not a second of those two hours went to waste. Ric was like blotting paper. On one oaccasion when I did a film of the two hour session, Bran had Ric read aloud from an old PG Wodehouse book. Ric was laughing at the jokes even as he was reading. He understood the humour, which demonstrated excellent comprehension. He learned how to use a computer in one afternoon and Bran organised for one to be installed in his flat - with internet. Within 6 months Ric went from Year 1 level to year 7 level in all subjects. He had an instinct for maths which I seriously envied (I stink at maths and we shall speak no further on the matter). He could speak, read and write Italian and English fluently (maybe a few spelling mistakes in English - but hey?) and his tight arse was just heaven. His cock was steel wrapped in velvet. However neither of these attributes were strictly speaking academically examinable. Of course Ric's art was off the scale in terms of assessment and he had the softest willy bush I had ever felt on anyone. (That is also irrelevant, but true.) Adamo was set to go to a technical college and learn hospitality. I thought he was probably a bit young, but he seemed to be coping. An idea struck me that when G left to go to Cambridge he could take Adamo with him because I had bought a house for G to live in while he was there. Adamo could get on with a more normal education and then branch out into hospitality if he wanted, or perhaps move on to university. That is ultimately what happened. That of course left Khalid in the tender care of Leochan. Well it was only an hour and a half to an hour and fifty drive from London up to Cambridge so it became ordinary for Khalid to stay there as well. Thanks to Sean I was able to hire another housemother (just like Chayd) for the boys, and a little family was born in that house. Sean, who did have far reaching contacts, organised for the two little ones to have their surname changed to Fillan and ultimately I was able to adopt them. There was no difficulty whatsoever in adopting Hassan, and he became a Fillan too. Having my own kids was something I never dreamed possible. Now I had three. Interestingly enough, Adamo and Khalid decided to take up residence in Alexandria. They had both gone to university to study social welfare. Hassan had done the same, but in Egypt. Every summer the three boys and I met up and we made whooppee. More often than not Leo, Bran and G would come with us. Anyway, the three lads, all roughly the same age, decided they wanted to work for Sayyid in his boys' home and they did. All in all I was very happy with what was happening around me, with my three sons, with my wonderful family of lovers and my real home, The School. The (Real) End. (Maybe - See below...) PS I have finally learned how to raise one eyebrow. Thanks Chris... I think. Chris wrote to me with some ideas of what he would like to know went on at The School - I am seriously thinking about telling tales out of school. But I promise nothing. Thanks to everyone who wrote. I think I replied to everyone, if not let me know. Please be kind to Nifty and all the authors and donate to Nifty. We want this archive to continue forever.
