Several members did not approve of her activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence.
However, Mildred made a huge mistake when she accused George, a new church 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 who saw it parked there would know exactly what he was doing.
George, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and then 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 and then walked home. And he left it there - all night.
You just gotta love George.
