An Unexpected Link

"I have that honour."

"Is your father still alive?"

"He is alive and well - or at least he was the last time that I saw him, a few weeks ago."

"I knew your father well.

1. "He was my best friend, some thirty years ago, which would be well before you were born. Perhaps you've heard him speak of me?"
2. "It was he who was responsible for my death. As his descendant, you are my enemy."
3. "But I knew your mother even better. The odds are that I'm your true father, laddie, assuming that you're in your early twenties, as you look to be. Not that Charles ever learnt of my affair with his wife, of course."
