Subject: church gossip


The church gossip and self-appointed arbiter of the church's morals, kept
sticking her nose into other people's business. Several church members were
unappreciative of her activities, but feared her enough to maintain their
silence.

She made a mistake, however, when she accused Tom, a new member, of being
drunk after she saw his pickup truck parked in front of the town's only bar one
afternoon. She commented to Tom and others that everyone seeing it there
would know what he was doing.

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

Later that evening, Tom quietly parked his pickup in front of her house and left it there all night.
