As I would have liked to say to my school headmaster when I asked him to sign a form entering me for a scholarship to do a course in Mining Engineering at the Royal School of Mines (being a Classics man, he was very reluctant to do so, thinking that when working underground I would be well on my way to Hades) "Helen might have had the "face to launch a thousand ships" but it was the silver mines of Laurium which paid for them!
