The Confidence-Man Chapter 37 Summary

The Mystical Master Introduces the Practical Disciple

  • The Puritan swaps subjects and taps in a new conversation partner.
  • The Puritan calls over Egbert, a thirty-something businessman who doesn't seem like the type to be travelling with the Puritan.
  • The Puritan, who we now learn is named Mark Winsome, is heading out, but Egbert is his disciple.
  • Oh, yeah—turns out Winsome has developed a philosophy. He's leaving Egbert behind to tell Frank about it.
  • Frank is surprised, because Winsome seems pie-in-the-sky but is talking like his philosophy has practical applications. Which is it?
  • Winsome: My philosophy is super practical. Egbert will tell you everything.
