Sugar & Spice colour, or, rather, of a number of different colours, like a chameleon. He was either a Scottish lord or the biggest liar in London, and 1 lean toward ~ the latter. ' We had a casual drink together, and he was friendly. I swiftly learned that he was 58 (he looked 42), had been in the Cameron Highlanders, was a retired Brigadier, had been with British intelligence, "But we mustn't talk about that, of course." That's when I began to suspect. When he told me he spoke Hungarian, Roumanian and Polish withoyt an accent, my suspic- ions deepened. When I said, in my blunt Canadian way, "How come?"', he answered airily, "Part of the job, old boy." When I asked his name, he said, "Just call me Cameron." It seemed he was the Lord of Lochiel, and he muttered about the Camerons and their feuds with the McDonalds and others. He had an unnerving habit of drinking six Pernods while I was worrying through two half pints. Then he'd get quite stoned and mumble on and on, "I'm drunk as a lord. But of course I am a lord, so it's all right." We parted after several encounters, and I asked for his address. He wrote down, "Cameron" and an address in Edinburg. Then he thought better, and above '"Came- ron" he wrote; "Lord of Locheil."" Then he thought again, din front of that wrote, "Rt. Hon." Only thing, he couldn't spell Lochiel. Later that week, in Edinburgh. I was tempted to check at the address he'd given, but decided against. Didn't want to spoil a beautiful myth. Well, there you are. A Bob, a Barmaid, and a Brigadier.
