With north-country directness, perspiring Editor William James Brittain, aware that lords sign a solitary surname, dispatched a blunderling to find out if there was a Lord Turner. In a Hove telephone directory the editor's helper found the name of Sir George Robertson Turner. Thereupon Cavalcade printed and credited Sir George with a letter he had not written.
