Amy didn’t get back to the room until half an hour later, but he had his
precious tennis trophy, and explained as he placed it on top his

He drew it from an inner pocket of his jacket, and with it a blue
envelope which fell to the floor. He picked it up, with a chuckle. “Look
at this, Clint. I found it in the mail and nearly had heart disease. Too
well do I know those blue envelopes and Josh’s copper-plate writing!
Catch it. I tried to think of something I’d done, and couldn’t, and then
I opened it and found that thing!”
