Corinthian

edit
  • The plot summary describes the protagonist as "an accomplished Corinthian". My rough sense of Corinthian in this usage is a fashionable amateur sportsman and gamester, involving boxing, horsemanship, and cards. But it needs to be linked to a page discussing this terminology, or defined in the text. I'm loath to do it without getting confirmation from someone more familiar with the usage that my sense is correct. Anybody? --Lquilter (talk) 15:26, 4 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
