After the Parade
“In a town were everyone knew or had heard of everyone else, Henry Ann was someone new to wonder about. All that was known about her was that she had come in on the bus and had been met by Kathleen Henry. It was hot gossip in town that Kathleen had left Johnny and was living in town. Hell of a note, some said. A man goes to war, comes home, and his wife won’t live with him.

“If Rawlings is anything like Red Rock, people are wondering who I am.”
“Shall I get up and make an announcement?”
“What would you say?”
“I’d say, ’Folks, I would like to present Mrs. Tom Dolan from Red Rock.MoreLess
