That Club at Pfaaf's [sic]

Arnold, along with Clapp and O'Brien "used to laughingly class themselves as Bohemians."

English dissociates himself from Clark and claims he never visited Pfaff's.

English mentions that Gunn was also mentioned as a frequenter of Pfaff's in the "Our New York" piece. English claims to know Gunn as he was a steady contributor to "a New York journal" to which English was also "connected." English states, "He was a correct, upright, and decorous gentleman, anything but a Bohemian, as the term is generally understood. He never spoke of such a club to me" (202).

English claims O'Brien, Clapp, and Arnold "used to laughingly class themselves as Bohemians, speak of Pfaff, his beer; but they spoke of no club" (202).

English states, "I have a notion that Pfaff's place was in a basement, a sort of underground eating-house and beer-room. I remember very well saying to one of these gentlemen, with a feeble attempt at pleasantry -- 'As there are so many buyers of beer among your people it is quite proper that you should have a cellar to receive you.' But as far as my personal knowledge goes, the place may have been in a garret" (202).
