Mildred, an influential, attractive 30 year old widow, was the church
gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the church's morals.
She kept sticking her nose into other people's business.
Several members did not approve of her extra curricular activities,
but feared her enough to maintain their silence.

She made a mistake, however, when she accused Frank, a young, very
good looking new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his
pickup parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon.

She emphatically told Frank (and several others) that every one seeing
it there WOULD KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING !

Frank, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment. He didn't
explain, defend, or deny. He didn't say anything either, but just
turned & walked away.


Later that evening, Frank quietly parked his pickup in front of
Mildred's house .... walked home . . .and left it there all night.
