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 movable 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 her 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, to name just a few. Her marriages lifted her to the heights of luxury, but her taste for crime dropped her to the depths of despair.
