Nothing subtle about it.  It is obvious that even if Tojimura is NOT
Catherine, he is *certainly* connected with her in some way.  All of
his dealings have been with people who dealt with Catherine - Pete and
Ben Horne, and indirectly, Josie (Josie has T's 5 Mil checque).  Given
the connection (whatever it is) it is a strange and twisted irony that
Josie gets paid off for the mill by money from T, who is connected in
some way to Catherine.  When Catherine finds out just who cashed the
checque, BOY is she gonna be mad!

This will look kind of silly if it turns out that it ISN'T Catherine
("completely obvious" eh?).

Nerd-alert on: there was one nice shot of T's face where there was
nothing obstructing it and I freeze-framed it and attempted to trace
the face, to compare it to the shape of Catherine's face.
Unfortunately it was too hazy, viewed through normal typewriter paper.
I'm going to try again later with tracing paper  :-)

If it IS Catherine, she's pretty gutsy to try to fool two of the
people who know her best (Pete and Ben).  It seems much more obvious
that  she would dispatch someone - Tojimura - to do her work for her.
I'm sure she can afford it.  Then we'd miss out on a scene of her
removing her disguise of course...
