I assume that by EPS you mean English Public Schools?
Maybe the fact that Jacky doesn't seem to have much fun is just a
reflection of the hard life a farm boy would have had in real life.
The Death & Glories get a certain amount of fun in Coot Club and
The Big Six. And though Tom Dudgeon is clearly of a higher social
and economic class than they are, it is clear, if I remember correctly,
that he attends a day school, unlike the Swallows, Amazons, D's, Port
and Starboard.
