The postman had handed a packet to Mrs de Mean on Christmas Eve. and was about to proceed on his delivery when he was asked: “Postman, do you smoke?" He promptly replied: “Yes.” and was told to wait a minute. He had visions of a box of cigars. Of course, it might be cigarettes, or perhaps a good pipe.
