[ Here are some things Nash believes he knows about Byerly:
1) Byerly likes drink, and comfort, and presumably having something some way to pay for both. 2) Byerly likes to know how people work. And neither of these things about Byerly make him likely to accept the mystery of his drunken disinheritance without even curiosity. It didn't fit. Except that 3) Byerly was definitely a liar, and one of the things he lied about was how hopelessly dissolute he was.
But Nash really is a bad interrogator, and one half of politeness is letting other people have their lies. In Harmonia, it's probably closer to two-thirds. ]
I guess we all have those things we become content not to know. As for the revenge: I botched it.
