(urth) Ted = Goldwurm?

[Craig Brewer]

Just on Doris' motivation: she does admit in her letter that money was a big reason she was interested in him. I took that to mean that, initially, she was using him (she needed to take a potential client out, knew he at least had a house, soon learned he was inheriting profitable land, etc.), but, over time, her feelings might have changed.

But one of the reasons that I was initially attracted to the "all a scam" possibility was how it seemed like so many people in this book at one point or another are trying to scam someone else.

Absolutely - I was going to say something along the same lines but work intervened. I was thinking that perhaps the  "other things" might just have been "women". Bax does of course get 3 women: Doris, Winkle and Millie (assuming Winkle counts).
