My guess is your guess!

Australia is a mystery to me - I've never been there - but I've always thought that the surname books were wrong - you know, the ones that say that the first Mr Nightingale had a marvellous singing voice and the first Mr Short was short. My belief is that the first Mr Nightingale was tone-deaf and the first Mr Short was probably six foot six. Like Little John in the Robin Hood stories!
