Paul, you and we, the reader, have been led to believe (or allowed to believe) that the Twigsnapper mystery man on the web who corresponded with you is the same Boston-O'Riley (O'Reilly?) who beat "Morgan" to bits with a rolled up magazine.
The trim dandy I see in the Paris Fouquet's photo is somewhat shorter than Townsend and the sailors next to him. I would guess him to be about 5'6" or 5'7", but I wouldn't call him "diminutive, by any means. Was that really the term "Morgan" used to describe "Boston", or was that your term?

There are 110,000 words in this book. I am gratified to learn that's the only one I got wrong.
