Слова "early retirement" в процитированном отрывке относятся к возрасту 55 лет, потому что вне колоний пенсионный возраст на британской государственной службе был 60 лет.
Pensions spread through the whole civil service by 1810. They became contributory for the better paid, while at lower levels men might receive informal non-contributory pensions if their work was judged to merit this reward. Retirement on a pension before age 60 required a doctor’s certificate and a certain period of satisfactory service. Pensions at age 60 gradually became a right. https://journals.univie.ac.at/index.php/oezg/article/view/3813
