原文
"Well, no offense meant. Mrs. Hiram Sloane told me the other day that a
big envelope addressed to the Rollings Reliable Baking Powder Company of
Montreal had been dropped into the post office box a month ago, and she
suspicioned that somebody was trying for the prize they'd offered for
the best story that introduced the name of their baking powder. She said
it wasn't addressed in your writing, but I thought maybe it was you."
