The Confidence-Man Chapter 38 Summary

The Disciple Unbends, and Consents to Act a Social Part

  • Once Winsome is gone, Egbert looks less like a lost puppy and more like he's got his life together.
  • Egbert confidently sits down at the table, praises Winsome, and asks if Frank thinks he's great, too.
  • Frank does a little fancy footwork in getting away with not saying that Winsome is the best thing since sliced bread. He still really wants to know about the dude's philosophy, though.
  • Egbert is eager to begin, but Frank stops him: I don't want a lecture, I want a lesson.
  • The guys agree to role-play a case of Frank's invention.
  • Frank will be Frank, and Egbert will play a guy named Charlie.
  • Stop us if you've heard this one before, but Frank and Charlie in this scenario are longtime friends since childhood, and Frank needs to borrow money. Yeah.
