Thanks for all the feedback, super useful as always and will be included in the re-write...

She blags the invite to see the collection because she's from the same College he taught at, the college system is very important in Oxford.*

Darren - I think you may have missed some bits... He was the one that collected the books, it wasn't a secret just in a locked cabinet which you need an appointment to actually see/handle the books. The students at Oxford and those at Oriel college in particular have been trying to distance themselves from the Rhodes legacy for years, it's the College itself that has been reluctant.*

*The Oxford stuff, Oriel etc is all fairly accurate - my son just graduated after 3 years at that college
