Maggie struggled to get out of bed. She really didn't feel like going out, so she called the shopowner of

want to finish making it for him as fast as she could.
The tailor shop owner called Maggie in the evening and informed her that he'd sent a runner to drop off
the fabrics. The runner was about to reach her home.
Maggie thanked the shop owner profusely and patiently waited.

Maggie grew suspicious. "I've made a lot of orders recently. Where is your delivery from? Here or out of
