Mr  Nance: Ms  Chan said that she retired from Quad Cities Corporation, and had received a watch and a wonderful party as thanks for her 40 years of loyal service  But I overheard a colleague of hers say that Ms  Chan will be gone for much of the next year on business trips and is now working harder than she ever did before; that does not sound like retirement to me
At least one of them is not telling the truth
fails to infer that Ms. Chan must be a person of superior character, given her long loyal service
