Perhaps. However, he does seem genuinely ashamed that he is too stupid to read. It reminds me of my mother who has always felt dumb because she has trouble spelling and writing due to a learning disability. That's what made me think that it is some sort of learning disability with Mildmay. He learns so many other things quite easily. Why wouldn't he have wanted to learn how to read. Especially as the more knowledge he possesses the easier it would have been for him to free himself from Keeper.
