A Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow (lol)

Mildred, 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 extra curricular activities, but feared
her enough to maintain their silence. She made a mistake, however,
when she accused George, 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 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
Mildred's house............walked home..................

and left it there all night........................

Have fun today,
Chatty
