He Spends Most of His Time at Home

James Diggle, "Foreword" to C.W. Willink, Collected Papers on Greek Tragedy (Leiden: Brill, 2010), pp. viii-x (at viii):
In 1966 and 1968 two articles appeared in the Classical Quarterly, on problems of text and interpretation in Euripides' Bacchae and Hippolytus, under the authorship of 'C.W. Willink, Eton College'. In 1970 I found myself at Eton, as Examiner for the Newcastle Scholarship. I asked whether I might have the opportunity to pay my respects to the author. 'I doubt if you will see him,' I was told. 'He spends most of his time at home, writing on Euripides.'
