I’m just relieved you won’t be bringing her to Paris for the wedding. I thought we were going to need to hire someone to care for her while we were there.
Clark
So what will you do now? You need someone to pick Melody up from school and to take care of her until you get home from work.
Archer
Yes. I’m looking now and I may have a possible lead. Or at least I think I do.
Bridger
It’s not Mrs. Dowden’s sister, is it?’
Archer
Archer
Mrs. Dowden is actually the one who may have found her replacement.
Easton
This just keeps getting better.
Archer
You know she’s good friends with Oscar and Edith, and apparently their niece is moving to town and she’s looking for part-time work. I don’t have all the details, but I spoke to Edith this morning when I took Melody to the Honey Biscuit Café for pancakes and she said that her niece Winnie is great with kids. I’m meeting her next week when she gets to town. She may even want to do a trade, as she’s looking for a place to live as well and I’ve got the attached casita.
Easton
This sounds great, Archie. You need a break.
I feel good about it.
Clark
Maybe you’ll hire her on the spot, and she’ll be willing to come to Paris with you, so you’ll have some help while we’re there.
Archer
That would be ideal if it works out. I hope it’s a good fit.
Rafe
Happy for you, Archie.
So, is Mrs. Dowden officially gone?
Archer
Yes. But we’re having a retirement party for her this weekend, so you all need to get your asses to my house on Saturday.
Bridger
What is she retiring from? Napping at your house?
