midday
Life loses , as many a shade of a hopeful guinea pig could relate . So the potray dinged and here was this package . At first glance it looked like one of those cereal samples manufacturers have been everlastingly sending through since postal rates dropped after cost of the potrays had been amortized . But cereal samples do n't come through at midday ; they 're night traffic stuff . The package was light , its wrapping curiously smooth . There was an envelope attached with my correct name and potray number . Whoever had mailed it must be in C. I. or must know someone in C. I. who knew where I was .
