Silas is a well known philanthropist and collector of eccentricities. As a third cousin to renowned author Charles Dickens, Silas uses his family name to secure invitations to luncheons and popular gatherings among the social set. He is a welcome and distinguished addition to any dinner party, for while his anecdotes lack in veracity, they rank high in entertainment value.
