Jeff Peters and Andy Tucker were now ready to catch a few fishes on 【M1】______
the hook.They placed their advertisement in newspapers across the country.
They put two thousand dollars in a bank under Missus Trotter’s name. They 【M2】______
gave her the bank book to show if anyone question the honesty of their mar- 【M3】______
riage agency. They were sure that Missus Trotter could be trusted and that it
was safe to leave the money with her.
Their ad in the newspapers started a storm of letters—more than one 【M4】______
hundred a day. Jeff and Andy worked twelve hours a day answering them.
Most of the men wrote that they had lost their jobs. The world misunder
stood them. But they were full of love and other good qualities.
Jeff and Andy answered every letter with high praise from the writer. 【M5】______
They asked the men to send a photograph and more details. And they told
them to include two dollars to make the cost of giving the second letter to 【M6】______
the charming widow. Almost all the men sent in the two dollars that request- 【M7】______
ed. It seemed to be an easy business. Still, Andy and Jeff often spoke about
the trouble of cutting open envelopes and take the money out. 【M8】______
A few of the men came on person. Jeff and Andy sent them to Missus 【M9】______
Trotter and she did the rest. Soon, Jeff and Andy were receiving about two
hundred dollars a day. One day, a federal postal inspector came on. But Jeff 【M10】______
satisfied him that they were not breaking the law.
