Lion Heart
“What was he proposing to do with the document that he left in the urinal in Paris? His shambolic notes – mine are heading in the same direction – claim that there was incontrovertible evidence that Robin Hood and Richard met. I wonder if my father’s pal, Huntingdon, is still alive. Google reveals that he is, and that he often pops into the House of Lords if there is any talk of the European Union, which he detests. I write to him explaining who I am, and to my surprise he answers my letter prom...ptly and invites me to lunch at the House of Lords. He remembers my father with affection.
Ed is certain that I need a suit for the occasion. He comes with me to Ede & Ravenscroft, in the High Street, astonished to hear that I have never had a suit, in the sense that the top half matches the bottom half exactly, and he feels he should guide me. He thinks a blue shirt will go well with the suit. I consider myself in the mirror, and I do have a lordly look. Ed insists on paying the bill. I take him aside, while the lugubrious man who has congratulated me on fitting perfectly into one of his suits, no alteration required, waits, tape measure around his neck: It doesn’t happen as often as you might imagine, sir.MoreLess
