It is approaching Christmas in Los Angeles as Early
Retirement begins and Edna Brewer is glad the weather has finally
cooled off a bit. Warmer weather helps her arthritis, but there should be a little
chill bite to the air this time of year. Having just turned 67 she has
convinced her employer, her brother who is named George and a lawyer that it definitely
is time for her to retire. For over thirty year she has kept his law office
organized and running smoothly despite the office bimbos, shady clients, and
other assorted problems. She likes things organized and neat from her sensible
shoes to her job to her life.
Good thing to as again this day Sarah Landry is once
again very late to work. She is supposed to be George’s secretary though Edna
sees very little evidence of her being able to do the job. Sarah is almost
always late so it is up to the office manager, Edna Brewer, to get the coffee
pot on, the phones switched over from the service, and take care of the many
other necessary tasks to start the day. It would help a lot if her lawyer
brother would get himself to work today as one of his more difficult and
despicable clients, Bobby Corazon, keeps calling for him. Then the police come
looking for George and the detectives have lots of questions for Edna.
Featuring an interesting mystery and plenty more,
this short story by Sue Ann Jaffarian is a good one. A fast fun read that is
guaranteed to please, Early Retirement is very much well
worth your time.
