He drove to the post office and asked if there was any message for "Grenier." Yes. It read: "Family still at Penzance. Persuaded friend that letter was only intended to create unpleasantness with uncle. He took same view and returned to town. Will say nothing." Unsigned, it came from a town near Beltham. Grenier was satisfied. He lit a cigarette with the message. At a branch post office he dispatched two telegrams. The first to Evelyn: "Will remain in the North for a few days. Too busy to write to-day. Full letter to-morrow. Love. "PHILIP." The second, to Mr. Abingdon: "Your message through Miss Atherley noted. Please suspend all inquiries. Affair quite unforeseen. Will explain by letter. Address to-day, Station Hotel, York. "ANSON." Then he entered a bank and asked for the manager. "My name may be known to you," he said to the official, at the same time handing his card. "Mr. Anson, Park Lane--the Mr. Anson." "I suppose I can flatter myself with the definite article. I am staying here some few days, and wish to carry out certain transactions requiring large sums of money. I will be glad to act through your bank, on special terms, of course, for opening a short account." "We will be delighted." "I will write a check now for five thousand pounds, which kindly place to my credit as soon as possible. Shall we say--the day after to-morrow?" "That is quite possible. We will use all expedition." "Thank you. You understand, this is merely a preliminary. I will need a much larger sum, but I will pay in my next check after hearing from London. I am not quite sure about the amount of my private balance at the moment." The bank manager assured him there would be no difficulty whatever under such conditions. Grenier obtained his passbook and check book, after writing a check on London before the other man's eyes. For a small amount, an introduction would have been necessary. In the case of Philip Anson, the millionaire, a man who handled thousands so readily, it was needless. Moreover, his procedure was unexceptionable--strictly according to banking business. Grenier rushed off to the station, caught a train for Leeds, went to the bank of a different company with different London agents, and carried through the same maneuver. He returned to York and secured the services of the hotel typist. He wrote to Philip's bankers: "I am transacting some very important private business in the North of England, and have opened temporary accounts with the ---- Bank in York and the ---- Bank in Leeds, and I shall need a considerable sum of ready money. Possibly I may also open accounts in Bradford and Sheffield. To-day I have drawn two checks for five thousand pounds each. Kindly let me know by return the current balance to my credit, as I dislike overdrafts and would prefer to realize some securities." The next letter ran:
