In its place, I put one that looked similar. Then I went to the window. In the street, there was a man with a gun. Women and children were scared, but there was no real danger.”

“I know, because the man was working for me! The man was caught by the police. But he was freed because there was nothing in his gun.”
“But why,” I asked, “did you put a copy of the letter in the rack? You were in danger. Why didn’t you simply take the letter on your first visit?”
