Desmond was a public school housemaster. He worked at Woodbridge School. Ironically Jane Robinson was an HMI and the school asked her become one of its governors. Desmond and Jane got on famously. Apparently when Jane met him for the first time, she introduced herself, saying what her name was, and that she was Jane Robinson, and was his niece. His response was "of course, my dear, you have the family nose". Desmond was unmarried
