Every morning one of our lorries started for our seaport soon after nine, carrying the hospital mailbag and as many messages as a village carrier. The life of the driver was far more exciting than his occupation would suggest, and it was always a moot point whether or not he would succeed in getting back the same night.
It was a relief when a servant entered with the mailbag. "The mail reaches us late," Captain Hunsden said, as he opened it. "I like my letters with my breakfast." "Any for me, papa?" Harriet asked. "One from your governess in Paris, I think and half a dozen for me." He glanced carelessly at the superscriptions as he laid them down.
She was still able to see his face. "Silva was over six months old when this photograph was taken," she began. "It was lost, with the letter to David that enclosed it, on some terrible Alaska trail. Afterwards, when the mailbag was recovered and the letter was returned to me through the dead-letter office, two years had passed, and our little boy was gone.
Maggie took it to be natural sleep, and laid the mailbag just brought by Harry the Blower, on her mistress' bed to await her awakening.
"Oh, you precious baby!" exclaimed Cora. "Don't you know that Paul has been entirely cleared? The mystery is simply who took the papers and otherwise left the mailbag intact?" "Poor Paul!" sighed the sister. "Poor Hazel!" added Cora. "A sister who is always worrying about a handsome brother is bound to lose him, eh, Gertrude?" Gertrude blushed.
The mailbag had just been opened, and everyone was busy over their letters, but all looked up to exchange a word with the newcomer, and Octavia impulsively turned to meet him, then checked herself and hid her suddenly crimsoned face behind a newspaper. "All have letters but me, yet I expected one last night. Major, have you got it among yours?"
His father is a lawyer the lawyer who has the case against Mr. Robinson. Now this book the promise book contained the names of those who visited the cottage on the day that the papers were taken out of the mailbag. It is comparatively easy to guess the sequence."
