Eleanor knew the world. She knew geography. Ocean liners and trains, timetables, maps, depots, piers, cities, towns, hotels, and shops were her stepping-stones; the rigging for her life on the lam. She was an agile and erudite traveler, and her moveable scam propelled her across two continents. She claimed fluency in French, Russian, Italian, and German. Her easy way with language, her cunning, her knowledge, her confidence and poise, made her a formidable artist of the con. She had a wardrobe of aliases: Millicent Lois Wilson, Grace Potter, and Mrs. Heath Wilson Roberts, just to name few. Her marriages lifted her to heights of luxury, but her willfulness to the con dropped her to depths of despair.
