Bessie, the church gossip and self-appointed arbiter of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business. Several residents were unappreciative of her activities, but feared her enough to remain silent.
She made a mistake, however, when she accused George, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his pick-up truck parked in front of the town's only pub one afternoon. She commented to George and 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 walked away. He didn't explain, defend, or deny. He said nothing.
Later that evening, George quietly parked his pick-up in front of Bessie's house-and left it there all night.
