"Tourmalin's Time Cheques" is a humorous and imaginative novel by F. Anstey, the pen name of Thomas Anstey Guthrie. The story follows the adventures of Peter Tourmalin, a young man who finds himself in a unique and perplexing situation involving time travel and financial metaphor. Peter Tourmalin, a somewhat unremarkable and diffident character, is engaged to a woman named Sophia, but their engagement is not particularly passionate. Seeking a respite from his monotonous life, he takes a sea voyage. During the voyage, he encounters a mysterious man who offers him a peculiar form of financial instrument: time cheques. These cheques allow Peter to "draw" on his future time, experiencing moments from his future life as if they were happening in the present. Intrigued and initially delighted by this novel experience, Peter begins to use the time cheques. He finds himself transported to various points in his future, each episode revealing different aspects of his life to come. However, as he continues to draw on his future time, he starts to realize the unintended consequences of tampering with the natural flow of time.
