church gossip and self-appointed monitor of the church's morals, 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.<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>She made a mistake, however, when she
accused Henry, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup
parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon. She emphatically
told Henry and several others that everyone seeing it there would know what he
was doing.<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>Henry, a man of few words, stared at
her for a moment and just turned and walked away. He didn't explain,
defend, or deny. He said nothing.<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>Later
that evening, Henry quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred's house,
walked home, and left it there all
night.<BR> <BR> <BR></FONT></SPAN><SPAN
