_ '' _ P.S. _ Inquire for me by the name of Mr. Constantine . '' -LSB- Footnote : The humble , English home of Thaddeus Sobieski is now totally vanished , along with the whole row of houses of which it was one . -RSB- With the most delightful emotions , Thaddeus sealed this letter and gave it to Nanny , with orders to inquire at the post-office `` when he might expect an answer ? '' The child returned with information that it would reach Grosvenor Square in an hour , and he could have a reply by three o'clock . Three o'clock arrived , and no letter . Thaddeus counted the hours until midnight , but they brought him nothing but disappointment . The whole of the succeeding day wore away in the same uncomfortable manner .
