Chapter 24- Frank/Pitch

p. 160 "You are another one of them" Pitch initially identifies Frank as a confidence-man

Pitch- displays skepticism throughout conversation (p. 163 "who are you lecturing for" / consistent assertions that Frank is a confidence-man) he is pessimistic (Frank says he likes to have many people around him, to which Pitch responds that the pickpocket does as well p. 165)

Conversation consists of a debate between philanthropy (Frank)/misanthropy (Pitch)

Frank uses raillery in his rhetoric ( "pie" p. 162 and reference to Jeremy Diddler) similar rhetoric as previous confidence men

Frank likes to talk, "let me undeceive you by arguing" to which Pitch responds "no more arguments" (164)

In the conclusion of the conversation, Frank makes a reference to Diogenes, leading Pitch to believe that the cosmopolitan is actually a misanthrope in disguise. The cosmopolitan tells Pitch that this mistake of man stems from his distrust in all men, and urges him to "get confidence" (reference to confidence denotes rhetoric of previous confidence men)
