Shaking and trembling, the post bâbu said, "Why does your honour get angry? I did not know who you were. Thinking it was some common person, I spoke in that manner. As your honour has been pleased to come here, I shall tell you whatever you may ask of me."
"At what intervals do letters come for Brahmânanda?"
"About every month. There is no certainty about it."
"Are the letters registered?"
"Yes, most of them are."
"In what post-office are they registered?"
"I don't remember."
"Don't you keep a receipt book for registered letters coming to your office?"
The postmaster hunted about and produced a receipt. He read it and said "Prasâdpur."
"In what district is Prasâdpur? Look at your list."
Still trembling, the postmaster examined the printed list and answered "Jessore."
"Look and see from what other places registered letters have come to his address. Examine all the receipts."
