*** during his first week of post-thanksgiving day delivery runs to lemontree , hed find the mailbox jammed with envelopes for mailing , sometimes wedged in so tightly that eddie would have to remove his gloves and slip the envelopes out one at a time , muttering curses under his breath as he dropped the mail into his mail satchel and carried any parcels to the front door , where hed rap his knuckles on the door , then walk back to the truck and drive back up to the main route .
