He was not large or strong, he could not sing; in fact, he had a stammer, which on most occasions left him self-consciously mute.

He was not clever- in his final year of school before the teachers despaired of him, he was asked how he would equitably divide a half-pound loaf of bread among himself and two friends. He said he would go without and his two friends would each have a quarter pound, and neither threats of failure not the switch could persuade him to change his answer.”
