Agnes, the gossiper, 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.
when she accused George 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 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 Agnes' house, walked home....and left it there all night.
So what was the hottest gossip of the morning?
