In "The 1,000,000 Bank-Note," we meet Henry Adams, a man who has been given a 1,000,000 bank-note, but is unable to exchange it. However, the simple fact of being in possession of it proves extremely beneficial, as no one doubts his wealth and everyone is willing to loan him money and give him opportunities. Eventually, he meets Portia, and realizes that she is a cheerful person. He is thankful for her personality, as he believes that it is possible that all his deception will be discovered, and he will have a lot of money to repay.
