Rosannadanna slipped out of her mylar body suit and cape dress
and into the Spray 'n' Vac. It felt good to relax after a hard week at
the office where she struggled, Monday through Wednesday, trying to
untangle Mennonite wills or deal with the lack of them. Some of her
thorniest unresolved cases dated back to the "Rapture", and while very
few of them had originally involved much money, the litigation that had
grown up over the years had been enough to feed a couple of generations
of lawyers.

Her favorite cases were those that dealt with the ticklish
questions of illegitimate heirs, and with antiques rather than money.
She'd been working today on an estate which consisted entirely of books:
wonderful, leatherbound books like a complete set of the _Mennonite
Quarterly Review_ through 1999, a first edition of the _Mennonite
Community Cookbook_, and an autographed manuscript of _Favorite Hymns,
Tunes and Airs of the Faith_ by Bradley Lehman. The putative heirs of
Nichiren Schwarzendruber, who had put the whole collection together back
in the "Nervous Nineties", were a motley crew which included the
great-grandson of the only known Mennonite offspring of Mick Jagger, the
Institute for the Study of Mennonite Institutions at the EMU campus up in
the Bronx, and an Amish gardener named Otto who still worked at hauling
manure around on the old Schwarzendruber place, as had his father before
him and his father before him.
Rosannadanna said "Air please" and the jets of warm, caressing
water became jets of warm, caressing air. "Licorice and... oh, licorice
and lavender", she said, and the Spray 'n' Vac booth filled with a finely
scented powder, dusted all over her body then whisked away by a gentle
massaging vaccuum. Tonight was "Mennonite Game" night at Madison Square
Garden, and she had a ticket at ringside. You never knew who you might
meet at Mennonite Game night, particularly if you were an unmarried,
29-year-old pulchritudinous Amish lawyer in Manhattan.
