Thanks principally to Grandfather Whitney, Jock Whitney is endowed with a fortune of some $60 million (which will tide him through the London embassy's estimated excess expenditure of $50,000 a year above the ambassador's $27,500-a-year salary and allowances), but he has always managed to combine the graces of a patrician upbringing with shrewd common sense.

Rose hastily called a friend on the bank board and confessed: he had been manipulating the bank funds, holding up payments on incoming checks to tide over a couple of wobbly depositors.
