Nightlong Hints

I need something else besides my magnetic pen.

  • 1 of 7: "...neither rain nor snow nor gloom of night shall stay these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds..."
  • 2 of 7: These famous words appear on a particular building in New York.
  • 3 of 7: One of "these couriers" has delivered something to Simon Ruby.
  • 4 of 7: A letter marked "return to sender" has been put inside his letterbox.
  • 5 of 7: The letter has Simon Ruby's signature on it.
  • 6 of 7: You've imitated Simon Ruby pretty well so far -- keep it up!
  • 7 of 7: By first putting the letter on the pen pad, you'll be able to use the magnetic pen. Easy, huh?
