Miss Birdseye's visitors, those of Doctor Prance, and of other tenants for Number 756 was the common residence of several persons, among whom there prevailed much vagueness of boundary used to leave things to be called for; many of them went about with satchels and reticules, for which they were always looking for places of deposit.
