He tried not to care that the youngest McGuire children stood at their gate and whispered, with fingers plainly pointing toward himself. He did not go near the schoolhouse, and he stayed at the post-office until he felt sure all the scholars must have reached home. Then, just at the corner of his own street, he met Mazie Sanborn and Dorothy Parkman face to face.
Their usual mode of self-introduction is to approach him, and ask if he is looking for the American consulate, or the English post-office, as the case may be, and if the stranger replies in the affirmative, to offer to show the way.
By 1906 there were 500, while in 1914 there were well over 1000. Moslems fully appreciate the post-office, the railroad, and other modern methods of rapidly interchanging ideas.
He was writing, and I was conscience-stricken for having interrupted him. We went to walk, and a neighbor invited us to drive to town in his sleigh. I accepted, but my husband did not. The Imp sprang on, as we passed his house; and then I found that the kind old man was Mr. Jarvis of the hill. I went to the post-office, where my husband was reading a letter from Mr. Hillard.
The traditions of the Carter family were a word and a blow, not a blow and a word in two days. To intrust the letter to the United States mail was a grave mistake; the colonel might have known that it would miscarry. Fitz said grimly that letters always did, without stamps. The Government was running the post-office on a business basis, not for its health.

All of which pains, alas! were thrown away; for here was her mother by her side, while her graphic letter was lying uselessly in the box at the post-office!
Ned spoke of having noticed the name of the lawyers on the envelope; the same firm that had written to Frank before. "I can't understand it," declared Bart, as he and his chums went out, in time to see Frank mounting the steps of a building opposite the post-office, where Judge Benton had his office. "I don't know's it's any of our affair," put in Fenn.
Instead of making a trip of a couple of miles to get the signature of our police captain, or sending the petition at the languid convenience of the overworked dvornik, I went to the general post-office, which was close by, and made a personal request that my mail matter be delivered at my new address.
He walked along to the post-office, took the letters from his pocket, and, before dropping each of them into the box, scanned its address. They were all to tradesmen, except the last, which was to Forcheville. He kept it in his hand. "If I saw what was in this," he argued, "I should know what she calls him, what she says to him, whether there really is anything between them.
'I hope so, said Allan; 'it isn't nice to think of any of our people being dishonest. 'If it was a stranger, said Reggie; 'they may never catch him. 'I heard father say that he would be traced by the money-orders, replied Allan. 'It seems that there were several post-office orders in a registered letter addressed to father, and that is one of the letters that is missing.
