For I could not help laughing at the idea that even the letterboxes had to enjoy their Sabbath rest. But I found she was right. At the post-office, even the letter-box was shut, as it was Sunday; I was obliged to put my letter in a pillar-box in the street. In Paris the Summer heat had been oppressive.
A moment later a voice was heard from the anteroom, saying: "If any one telephones, I'm not in the club any one at all. Do you hear?" Then Towsey, the decorator, appeared at the letterboxes in spats, militant checks, high collar and a choker tie, which, yearning toward his ears, gave him the appearance of one who had floundered up out of his clothes for the third and last time.
The house where Woulters lives has a great many Jews in it, judging from the names on the letterboxes, and since Hugo sounded too German, he listed his first name as "Harry." "You and Dieckhoff worked on the same destroyers on Staten Island and you say you never met him there?" I asked. "No, I never met him until the second day after I went to work in the Navy Yard."
Letterboxes, flowerpots, old boots, and bookshelves have all done duty, and I even remember a pair of robins, many years ago in Kent, bringing up two broods in an old rat trap which, fortunately too rusty to act, was still set and baited with a withered piece of bacon.
