The mission: Your story in Oslo

It’s sometime in the early 1880s. You want to meet your friend, the feminist author Amalie Skram at the theater to see a production of Henrik Ibsen’s “A Doll's House”. However, Amalie doesn’t arrive. Instead a messenger boy appears and hands you a note.

My dearest friend,
I must deliver my latest manuscript to the publishers today. However, as I went to fetch it from my desk, it was nowhere to be found. Can you help me look for it in Oslo? I simply must get my manuscript back! 
Yours truly,
​​
