"I've got twenty yards of dress goods to be delivered to Mrs. M.P. Savoy." "Bought a couple of hours ago?" asked Old King Brady. "About that." "Where are you going to deliver it?" "At No. 160 Bleecker street." "That's all." "Anything wrong about it?" "No. It's paid for, ain't it?" "Yes." "What time are you going to deliver the parcel?" "Our wagon ought to reach there about five o'clock." Old King Brady thanked him and they departed, leaving the clerk looking very much mystified over their peculiar actions. The Bradys went to the Bleecker street address and saw that it was one of a row of old-fashioned brick houses with green blinds. |
