Profile
Sheikh El Hamid studied at Oxford and speaks English flawlessly, but has trouble understanding Jock, his Scottish chauffeur. Although Miss Courtney initially tells him that new students cannot be enrolled at midterm, she reconsiders when he drops £2,000 on her desk and allows Jock to join Mr. Brown's class. The chauffeur is an antagonistic and aggressive student who causes so many disruptions that Mr. Brown refuses to continue teaching him, so Miss Courtney arranges for Mr. Brown to give Sheikh El Hamid private lessons in Scottish English instead.
