That’s who I had in mind - Dr Sidney Freedman. Spooner swapped the beginnings of words when he got flustered; the adverbials were named after Tom Swift. (“The prisoner escaped down a rope,” said Tom condescendingly. “I’ve borrowed my sister’s camping gear,” said Tom insistently. “I manufacture tabletops for shops,” said Tom counterproductively.) Cedric the Saxon and his son Wilfred of Ivanhoe are characters in a book by Sir Walter Scott. Salomon Andree was the Arctic balloonist. DQ1: American? DQ2: Died before 1700? IQ1: Are you an Albanian national hero? IQ2: Were you the March King? IQ3: Did you continue your career as an actress after your leg was amputated? ---
