10. A Rush Order

       Edna Pennycastle couldn’t really remember the last time she’d been angry. It just wasn’t in her nature. Sure, there was the time about a year ago when she had been looking over her parole supervisor’s shoulder and saw him write “phlegmatic” on her behavior chart and that had come close to annoying her until he explained what it meant. And once in a while certain members of her social circle would test her patience by trying to avoid paying for a round of beers when it was definitely their turn. But for the most part, Edna’s style was one of steady, unruffled calm. Until today. Today she had become very close to being downright indignant.
