[Marcel in Longueuil]

Gerta, the church gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the church's
morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business.

Several members did not approve of her nasty habit, but feared her enough
to maintain their silence.

She made a mistake, however, when she accused Henry, a new 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 Henry, and several others, that everyone seeing it
there knew what he was doing, and what his problem was.

Henry, 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, Henry quietly parked his pickup in front of Gerta's
house, walked home and left it there all night.
