thank you for your consideration of my request , your humble and obedient servant , james fletcher after making up a packet of these letters and stuffing them into an envelope labeled `` to miss jacky faber , pig and whistle inn , '' i took myself up to that establishment for lunch , and after having eaten , i placed it on a shelf where i knew her employees stacked her correspondence for her later perusal , as i have watched her take the daily mail and read it while she sipped an afternoon glass of wine and prepared for the evening activities .
