"Oh, yes!" He laughed apologetically. "You know, the matter completely slipped my mind until this minute."
"Indeed?" Penny inquired. She had not been surprised at the answer.
"If you will come back in a few days——"
"Can't you get the address for me now? It is rather important that I have it immediately."
The manager frowned. "I'll see what I can do. Wait here."
He left the office, returning a few minutes later.
"I can't seem to find it on our records at all, Miss Nichols. The boy never worked here steadily. In fact, he has been discharged."
"So you refuse to give me the address?"
"It isn't that, Miss Nichols. We'd be glad to provide it if we could. Unfortunately, we can't."
"I see," Penny returned coldly.
