I always read this as Patrick was about to mention how Malise Marlow turned out, but they got interrupted and he forgot to do so afterwards. And then later, assumed Peter knew all about his ancestor when they started Gondalling. His outburst to Peter at the end, though, was meant to be hurtful, because he was reacting to Peter's utter rejection of their characters' friendship (and possibly of their own?).
I love Nicola's realistic comment to the end of it: "Lumme, what a heel," and the way it lowers the tension.
