the genuine article

Sir Maxwell MacLoud (yes he is knighted heretically and his lineage dates back to Robert the Bruce) is the man who has allowed this entire flat to be available to us. The more I get to know this man, the more I'm convinced his story could be made into a movie. I've told him I'd like to make a documentary of his story before I leave. He's been wonderful getting to know, he'll stop by randomly and join us for dinner, or take us out in his car and show us around the city giving us beautifully painted stories. He recently took us to his house, privately nestled on a hill that's been converted into several different levels of various plants with an adorable stone house from the 18th century overlooking this serene river. His goal is to make the place entirely self-sufficient, living off the many vegitables he grows and electricty powered by the river. He's a journalist for a well-known newspaper in town and is currenty writing a book. He's a man about town, seems like he knows everyone.
The second time I met him, he called me up on the phone. He told me to meet him at the "New Club" and dress in a suit and tie. I had no idea what to expect. I went through a few security checks before arriving into this lounge full of CEOs and politicians drinking expensive wine and overlooking Edinburgh Castle. We sat for a few hours and talked about some of his life stories, some of mine and met in the middle somewhere. Amazing experience!
Sir Maxwell is truly the genuine article. He thinks we're partially nuts being missionaries, though sincerely respects it and I think he's crazy and eccentric but a fascinating character: two peas in a pod.
