There's a mail chute there, next the notion counter on the ground floor. Buy a spool of thread or somethin', and while you're waitin' for change, drop the letter in the box.
She was left standing, gazing nervously upon the floor. When the limit of her distress had been nearly reached, she was beckoned to by a man at one of the many desks within the near-by railing. "Who is it you wish to see?" he required. "Why, any one, if you please," she answered. "I am looking for something to do." "Oh, you want to see Mr. McManus," he returned.
Caesar had his Brutus; that king of Shakespeare's Leary, I think you call him had his own daughters go back on him; Platt had his Odell, and I've got my "The" McManus. It's a real proof that a man is great when he meets with political ingratitude. Great men have a tender, trustin' nature. So have I, outside of the contractin' and real estate business.

Her eyes rested upon him for two seconds in the look with which woman reconnoitres all men whom she for the first time confronts. In that space of time she will decide upon one of two things either to scream for the police, or that she may marry him later on.
"Say," said Cork McManus, almost covering the table with his eloquent chest and elbows, "was that dead straight about you workin' in the bookbindery and livin' at home and just happenin' in here and and all that spiel you gave me?"
