porch with their father and mother. They heard Mrs. Bunker ask:
"What sort of papers were they you lost?
"Well, I don't know that I have exactly lost them," said Mr. Bunker
slowly, as though trying to think what really had happened, "I had some
real estate papers in my desk at the office. They were about some property

Her husband did not answer her for a moment. Then he suddenly clapped his
hands together as a new thought came to him, and he said:
"Oh, now I remember! I left those papers in my old coat."
"Your old coat!" repeated Mrs. Bunker with interest.
"Yes. That old ragged one I sometimes wear at the office when I have to
