Janet's horoscope reads: "A journey today will bring great success. Green is your lucky color." When she gets to work, her boss wants her to deliver an envelope to Phillips and Sons in Surrey and emphasizes that it must arrive on that day. Janet thinks this is the journey that her horoscope predicted, but she initially catches the wrong train and everything goes wrong after that. She arrives too late to deliver the envelope and thinks she will get the sack. But her boss had given her the wrong envelope and was so relieved she didn't deliver it, he gave her a rise.
