-
There was a Peter Gordon
-
who worked with Patrick at the Foreign Office.
-
Now, he emigrated to Montreal in 1913.
-
Yes and when his face was blown away,
-
he decided every cloud has a silver lining.
-
He was perfectly placed to impersonate his dead friend.
-
No doubt they shared confidences, so he just brushed them up
-
and put himself forward for a major inheritance.
-
Granny's right.
-
All he needed was a survivor from the Titanic
-
who was unaccounted for and he found one.
-
But the Titanic story bears out Patrick's version in every way.
