His name was Jackman , and it was on his wagon . I found the cartman , but he was so busy I had no chance to speak to him until half past eight . I took my breakfast at the Carlton , which is kept by Maine people . I introduced myself to one of the proprietors ; and of course they knew my father . I told him I had been waiting a long time to speak to Jackman .
