Million Dollar Bank Offer Upends Job at Silk Shop
Joanna Manners, a silk department clerk, is summoned to a bank by Andrew Eggleston and Mr Graydon after a mysterious benefactor deposits one million dollars in her name. The banker explains the fund is usable but not withdrawable without future directions, while Joanna confronts the surreal prospect of sudden wealth and shifts in her life. Brandon, a suave observer, offers to help her draw her first check, and the scene ends with a dramatic test of how much money she will actually request.
