Along the way Lipwig meets Adorabelle Dearheart, a young woman bereaved of both her father and brother due to the family’s former connection with the Clacks company. ![]() The consummate con artist, Lipwig gains the attention of the crowd, enlists the aid and support of a workforce of golems plus a veritable Dad’s Army of formerly retired postmen, as well as receiving a gift from the gods of $150,000 to restore the post office to its former glory.
