It is possible that a letter from you is here. The delivery is always rather irregular: sometimes the letter-carrier brings them, sometimes they are delivered at the Chamber postal station. I will go immediately and inquire if anything is there; then I will take a bath, and return at least ten calls that have been paid me.
Ramy, who had by this time become as much a part of their lives as the letter-carrier or the milkman, ventured the suggestion that the ladies should accompany him to an exhibition of stereopticon views which was to take place at Chickering Hall on the following evening.
But he could carry one of Peter's letters. And so, 'by Sylvanus, a faithful brother, I have written to you. Perhaps Sylvanus was amanuensis as well as letter-carrier, for I daresay Peter was no great hand with a pen; he was better accustomed to haul nets. At all events, subordinate work was what God had set him to do, and so he found joy in it. Well, then, is not that a pattern for us?
"My cousins are having more than their share, just now. So many, many invalids.... I hope you've been well, since I saw you last?" "Oh, thank you! I've the health of a letter-carrier.

We're just goin' to 'ave it, and my old 'ooman delights in company. There now, sit down, an' don't go splittin' your lungs on that side of her next time you chance to be alone with her. It's her deaf side.

Sir Thomas Dick Lauder had a dog named Bass, brought when a puppy from the Great Saint Bernard. His bark was tremendous, and might be distinguished nearly a mile off. He was once stolen, when a letter-carrier, well acquainted with him, heard his bark from the inside of a yard, and insisted on the man who had him in possession delivering him up.
It must not be that Lady Frances should receive love-letters from a Post Office clerk! As regarded Lady Frances herself, the Marchioness would have been willing enough that the girl should be given over to a letter-carrier, if she could be thus got rid of altogether, so that the world should not know that there was or had been a Lady Frances.
