"Bewildering emotions are awakened also by the sight of Florence, with whom every young gentleman immediately falls in love, again: except, as aforesaid, the bilious Bitherstone, who declines to do so, out of contradiction. Black jealousies of Mr. Toots arise, and Briggs is of opinion that he an't so very old after all. But this disparaging insinuation is speedily made nought by Mr. Toots saying aloud to Mr. Feeder, B.A., `How are you, Feeder?' and asking him to come and dine with him to-day at the Bedford; in right of which feats he might set up as Old Parr, if he chose, unquestioned."
Here is a URL about Old Parr, now just a famous brand of whiskey, an eponym of an Englishman who lived 152 years.
