1. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up outside Wheeler Upham’s law firm, he swore he heard someone whispering from inside. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—until he caught a strange scent of freshly baked cookies wafting out. Suddenly, a voice called out from within: ‘Hey, can you pass me another cookie?’ Startled, the driver looked around wildly, only to see an old portrait of Mr. Upham smiling benevolently back at him. Turns out it was just an elaborate prank by the partner’s niece, who loved playing tricks on late-night visitors. The delivery guy shook his head and laughed, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll bring brownies.’

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up outside Wheeler Upham's law firm, he noticed an odd thing—a small dog was frantically barking and pointing towards the building. Curious, the driver approached the building and saw nothing unusual inside. Just then, Wheeler’s office door opened, and out stepped his old Labrador, wagging its tail excitedly. ‘Finally!’ it seemed to say. The driver scratched the dog behind the ears and laughed, realizing that dogs sometimes know things humans never will.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up outside Wheeler Upham’s law firm, he noticed something odd in the backseat of his truck—a mysterious envelope addressed to no one in particular. Curious, he opened it and found only a single sheet of paper with an old riddle scribbled on it: ‘Why did the lawyer cross the road? To see if the other side was worth suing!’ Turns out, Wheeler Upham had left it there for fun, knowing that pranksters would eventually find it.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up outside Wheeler Upham’s law firm, a neighbor asked curiously: ‘Why is that guy standing there with a briefcase and a box of donuts?’ The delivery driver shrugged, smiling sheepishly. 'He said he’d pay extra for fresh doughnuts,' he whispered conspiratorially. The neighbor laughed softly, shaking his head. ‘Guess some lawyers never change,’ he muttered, turning back to his house. Inside Wheeler Upham’s office, the door quietly opened, revealing a bemused but satisfied smile.
