The man took the letter and frowned. 'There's no Cordelia here. Never has been.' He started to close the door, then paused. 'But people keep mailing her things. You're the third this year.' He pointed down the street. 'Try the old post office. The clerk there, Sam, keeps the lost letters. Maybe Sam knows something.'
