Good old George

Post by rlsllc »

Mildred,the church gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the church's morals,
kept sticking her nose into other people business. Several members did not
approve of her activities, but feared her enough to maintain their
silence.

She made a mistake, however, when she accused George, a new church 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 George (and several others) that
everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing.

George, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and then just turned and
walked away. He didn't explain, defend, or deny... He said nothing.

Later that evening, George quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred's
house... Walked home... And left it there all night.
