The Wrong Box

CHAPTER XIV
7/28

Possible; but in that case who is the advertiser?
Not Ricardi, for he knows your address; not the person who got the box, for he doesn't know your name.

The vanman, I hear you suggest, in a lucid interval.

He might have got your name, and got it incorrectly, at the station; and he might have failed to get your address.
