13. An unfortunate mix-up

(Phone conversation)

Bookseller: "Hello?"

Customer: "Are you okay?... I heard that something terrible had happened."

Bookseller: "As far as I'm aware, we're all fine."

Customer: "I got home from work to find a note from my daughter saying that there'd been a series of unfortunate events in the bookstore, and that I should call you about it."

Bookseller: "Oh! No. You ordered Lemony Snicket's 'A Series of Unfortunate Events.' You can come and pick it up whenever you're free."

Customer: "...Oh! Well, thank goodness for that." (from Pam Price, Book Shop of Beverly Farms, Beverly Farms, MA)
