Phil meets a seedy Individual named Farringford. Page 109.
"Phil; that is very good as far as it goes. Phil may stand for Philip, Phillimore, Philippians, Philosophy."
"It stands for Philip with me, sir."
"Philip; I had a brother once of that name, but he is no longer living. If he were, he would blush to own his brother. But no matter; that is all past and gone. You can proceed with your business, Philip."
Placing his elbows upon the little table between us, he rested his chin upon his trembling hands, and fixed his gaze upon me. He was a singular man, and, tipsy as he was, I was deeply interested in him.
"You know Lynch, the person you met opposite the Planters' Hotel to-day noon."
"I know him, Philip; but, in a word, I don't know any good of him. Go on."
