Rejecting Alf Jones as an assumed name, Nomenology would be at fault here; yet knowing already, by a kind of incommunicable intuition, that he was a Sydney-sider, and had been in some way connected with the drapery-business, I expected to have my knowledge so supplemented by the character of his songs, that counting reasonably on a little further information, to be gathered before my departure I should be able to work-out his biography at least as correctly as biographies are generally worked-out.
It required no deep dive into the mysteries of Nomenology to augur ill from the nickname of 'Terrible Tommy. The title was, of course, satirical; the man an imbecile and fickle windbag. Still, this name was better than the manager's. Evidently, my only chance was to deal directly with some one of the boundary men.
But this hypothesis of unconscious cerebration seemed scarcely as satisfactory as the other-namely, that, having at a former time heard Terrible Tommy mention the name of Andrew Glover, my educated instinct of Nomenology, rising to the very acme of efficiency, had accurately, though unconsciously, snap-shotted a corresponding apparition on the retina of my mind's eye.
