Hard Times

Bennett checked the pile of letters the mailman had handed over to him. The letters of sympathy were piled up on the dining room table. Among them were the first responses of the people who would attend the memorial ceremony for Charles Reddington.

The funeral parlor took care of the formalities, and Bennett was pleased with the competences of this enterprise, because he had promised to organize everything else. Aethel hadn’t gotten up for almost one and a half week, and she was lying in her bed without interruption. The woman seemed to get over the death of her husband much slower than he had ever anticipated it. Kate tenderly took care of the old lady, and the family doctor was a daily visitor in the meantime. The small, still weeping bundle in bed had said to him only one sentence. She had requested him to organize the funeral, because she wouldn’t be able to do it. When Aethel was awake, she couldn’t stop weeping, and only the tranquilizer helped her to drift off to sleep. Thanks to the housekeeper, the old lady drank something at least, and Kate also managed it to force her to eat a bit.

With a frown, he glanced at he sent invitation which had returned to sender with the annotation that the receiver had moved to an unknown address. It was the letter which was destined for Esther Reddington, Jethro’s mother. Bennett took the sheet of paper, and he put the sorted envelopes on the dining table. He wanted to take care of them at a later point in time. He went into the kitchen, where Kate was working with a sinking heart. Bennett briefly knocked on the doorframe, so that the woman who was standing with her back to him wouldn’t become frightened.

“Did Esther Reddington mention a new address at one time or another that wasn’t written down?” he asked the housekeeper who had turned around to him.

The woman wrinkled her brows, and she shook her head. “Not that I remember. But the family circumstances have been broken since Jonathan’s death years ago. Esther has never come for a visit or called. Merely Jethro has kept in touch with his grandparents.”

It wasn’t easy at all for Bennett to voice this request, but he didn’t feel in the position to do it himself, “Could you contact Jethro and ask him where we shall send the invitation for his mother?”

Kate looked at him in surprise, and he admitted truthfully, “I don’t know if I can keep my temper when I have to phone this man.”

She merely nodded and said to him, “Well, then let’s hope that he is sober, if I can reach him at all.”

Gratefully, Bennett vanished from the kitchen, and he entered the dining room in order to open the mail and to complete the list of attendants. Ten minutes later, he heard Kate’s approaching steps, and he turned his face in her direction.

“He doesn’t know where she is either. About one year ago, she sold her house and disappeared without a trace.
