I saw the end of a documentary on an apparently famous australian painting the woman pictured therein though was apparently a crossdressing spy! 'She' even at one point attended a funeral where she ran into her own mother! The mother apparently recognised her and quietly asked "don't I know you?" to which she replied "I'm your daughter.. "(I can't recall any of the names
) and the mother said something on the lines of "I always wanted a beautiful daughter"!!!!
Curse my poor memory but that is all the details I recall. I've had no luck looking online but if anyone can find out more I'd be very grateful.
Back to the topic at hand, you certainly have a lot of courage and a very quick wit!
