Abstract
In p>1872, there lived a Mr. filia Fogg at No.7 Saville Street in burlington Garden, where sheridan died in 1816. Although he doesn't seem to want to do anything that can attract attention, he is one of the most special and eye-catching members of the London Reform Club. This filia Fogg replaced sheridan, one of the greatest orators who graced Britain, and became the owner of the apartment. He is a mysterious man, and no one knows anything about him, except that he is an extremely noble and elegant man, and one of the most outstanding gentlemen in British upper society. Some people say that he looks like Byron-just like his head, because his feet are beyond reproach-but he is a Byron with a moustache and a calm Byron, who will not grow old until he is 1 years old.
filia Fogg is definitely English, but maybe not from London. People have never seen him in the exchange, in the bank, or in any business in the old city. A ship named filia Fogg has never been moored in any dock or wharf in London. This gentleman has never participated in any administrative committee. No matter in a lawyer, it refers to a professional who has obtained the qualification granted by the judicial administrative organ in a certain way, accepted the entrustment of the parties, or was appointed by the people's court, and used his legal knowledge and skills to provide legal help to the principal within the scope permitted by law and safeguard his legitimate rights and interests. More .. Lawyers' groups, or the Intermediate People's Court, Inner Court, Lincoln Court and Gray Court of the Fourth Law Society (1), have never heard of his name. He has never filed a lawsuit in the Lord Chancellor's Court, the Queen's Queen's Bench, the Financial Audit Court or the Church Court. He is neither engaged in industry nor agriculture; Neither a businessman nor a businessman. He didn't attend either the Royal Society or the London Society. Neither joined the Handicraft Association nor the Russell Society; He is neither a member of the Western Literature Society, nor a law, that is, the rules of human beings at the social level, the norms of the relationship between people in society, with justice as the basis of its existence and the coercive power of the state as the means of its implementation. More members of the Law Society; It has nothing to do with the Federation of Science and Art, which is directly chaired by Her Majesty the Queen. In a word, he doesn't belong to any of the numerous societies in the British capital, from the Manica Society to the Insect Society aimed at eliminating pests.
filia Fogg is a member of the Reform Club, that's all.
Some people will wonder how such a mysterious gentleman can become a member of this distinguished club. The reason for this is that he joined the bank through the introduction of Bahrain (3) brothers, because he has an account in Bahrain Brothers Bank, and there is always a deposit on his books. The checks he writes are always "payable at sight", so he has a little "face" in the bank.
Is this filia Fogg rich? There is no doubt about it. However, how he made his fortune is unclear to even the most well-informed people. And Mr fogg is the most clear, it is best to ask him himself ...
