People he did not know or trust
It appears that there has been no discussion of the wording "rarely saw people he did not know or trust", which is ambiguous between "he did not both know and trust" and (e.g.) "he either did not [sufficiently] trust, or did not know [beyond their reputation via mutual intimates]". I'm going to try to do some research supporting one or the other sense as historically accurate (or as one authority's view), but perhaps a subject expert or someone who's previously noted the ambiguity has something at hand that bears on a better wording.
