Guards
kept
people
out
;
the
mail
and
the
telephone
came
through
.
The
telephone
Jubal
coped
with
by
changing
his
call
number
and
having
all
calls
routed
through
an
answering
service
to
which
was
given
a
very
limited
list
of
persons
from
whom
Harshaw
would
accept
calls
–
and
,
at
that
,
he
kept
the
instrument
in
the
house
set
on
"
refuse
amp
;
record
"
most
of
the
time
.
But
the
mail
always
comes
through
.
At
first
,
Harshaw
told
Jill
that
the
problem
was
Mike
’
s
.
The
boy
had
to
grow
up
someday
;
he
could
start
by
handling
his
own
mail
and
she
could
help
and
advise
him
.
"
But
don
’
t
bother
me
with
it
;
I
have
enough
trouble
with
screwball
mail
of
my
own
!
"
Jubal
could
not
make
his
decision
stick
;
there
was
too
much
of
it
and
Jill
simply
did
not
know
how
.
Just
sorting
the
mail
into
categories
was
a
headache
.
Jubal
solved
that
by
first
making
a
phone
call
to
the
local
postmaster
(
which
got
no
results
)
,
then
by
a
phone
call
to
Bradley
,
which
did
get
results
after
a
"
suggestion
"
from
on
high
trickled
back
down
to
local
level
;
thereafter
mail
for
Mike
arrived
sacked
as
first
class
,
second
class
,
third
class
,
and
fourth
class
,
with
mail
for
everyone
else
in
the
household
in
still
another
sack
.
Second
and
third
class
mail
was
used
to
insulate
a
new
root
cellar
north
of
the
house
,
the
old
root
cellar
having
been
dug
by
the
former
owner
as
a
fallout
shelter
and
never
having
been
satisfactory
as
root
cellar
.
Once
the
new
root
cellar
was
heavily
over
-
insulated
and
could
use
no
more
,
Jubal
told
Duke
to
dump
such
mail
as
fill
to
check
erosion
in
gullies
;
combined
with
a
small
amount
of
brush
such
mail
compacted
very
nicely
.
Fourth
class
mail
was
a
problem
,
especially
as
one
package
exploded
prematurely
in
the
village
post
office
,
blowing
several
years
of
"
Wanted
"
announcements
off
the
notice
board
and
ruining
one
"
Use
Next
Window
"
sign
–
by
great
good
luck
the
postmaster
was
out
for
coffee
and
his
assistant
,
an
elderly
lady
with
weak
kidneys
,
was
safe
in
the
washroom
.
Jubal
considered
having
all
fourth
class
mail
addressed
to
Mike
processed
by
the
bomb
-
disposal
specialists
of
the
S
.
S
,
who
performed
the
same
service
for
the
Secretary
General
.
This
turned
out
not
to
be
necessary
;
Mike
could
spot
a
"
wrongness
"
about
a
package
without
opening
it
.
Thereafter
all
fourth
class
mail
was
unsacked
in
a
heap
just
inside
the
gate
;
then
,
after
the
postman
had
left
,
Mike
would
pry
through
the
pile
from
a
distance
,
cause
to
disappear
any
harmful
parcel
;
then
Larry
would
truck
the
remainder
to
the
house
.
Jubal
felt
that
this
method
was
far
better
than
soaking
suspect
packages
,
opening
them
in
darkness
,
X
-
raying
them
,
or
any
other
conventional
method
.
