Mildred, the local gossip and self appointed keeper of the churchโs morals, kept poking her nose into other peopleโs business.
Several members of the church did not approve of her extra curricular activities, but kept to themselves in fear of reprisal.
She made a mistake, however, when she accused a new member, Sam, of being an alcoholic after seeing his old pickup parked outside the townโs only pub one afternoon.
She emphatically told Sam and several others of the congregation that by seeing his car there, everyone would know exactly what he was doing.
Sam, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment then just turned and walked away. He didnโt explain, defend or deny. He said nothing.
Later that evening, Sam quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildredโs house...and left it there all night.
