Here's something else for you to maul over;
A long time ago Reb presented the notion that perhaps it had been Jr. who had stayed with Morriss with no remuneration at all, this many of us quickly discareded, but should we have?
Thomas Beale relocates to New Orleans leaving his family behind. Shortly after Jr. joins him. During the estate battle we learn that Jr's mother wasn't exactly in love with her son. Just saying, perhaps Reb's notion hadn't been that far off base at all?
And as for the "old notion" that nobody knew Thomas Beale during his visits with Morriss, the narration claims quite the opposite when it concludes that he was a hit with the ladies and that his reputation/character was soon known. Back in the day men of only 17 were captains of their own ships, the conditions of the era providing that many men became men very early in life. Just saying.......
