I am guessing but it might mean " if ever there were".

Is that a literary expression?

N.B. Be careful of your tenses.

Also, "brave" in French means something closer to "decent", "good and honest" (with a slight connotation of "well-intentioned but not very intelligent", "nice but dim").

I think it's "...who invited us to dinner." If it was the other way around avaient would be avons or avions.
