Both were perfectly happy with the arrangement.<br /><br />Two years into the arrangment, a gaggle of neighborhood church ladies paid a concerned call. I should emphasize that my grandmother was definitively NOT a church-goer. They himmed&hawed for a while before she finally flat-out asked them what they actually wanted to discuss. Many were the pious murmurings of "Oh...we KNOW you wouldn't know, but...", "Well, it's just so awful I don't even want to MENTION it, but...", and "Now, normally I would NEVER say anything, but...".<br /><br />Turns out (and, actually my grandmother didn't know this) that the young woman had a boyfriend who occasionally spent the night. He parked his car behind that big, old house. Of course, all the church ladies HAD noticed.<br /><br />My father (who was about twenty at the time and, hearing the guests, had simply stayed in the kitchen) heard my grandmother affect shock over this dreadful news....the very idea that such a thing would happen in her house! The church ladies clucked and offered their sympathy......and then, according to my father, my grandmother (who was nobody's fool) suddenly said, in a very frank and loud voice, "I do have to tell you ladies one thing....she pays rent to stay here, and she always pays it in-cash and on-time...and I'm grateful for her help around the house....and if she wants to CARRY COAL IN THAT THING, then that's HER business...not mine, and not yours. Have I made myself quite clear, Ladies?????"<br /><br />The church ladies all scattered and never again visited my grandmother (who lived for another thirty-some years). The renter stayed for several more years, until she married (a wedding which my grandmother attended, of course).<br /><br />In any case, I've always loved the "carry coal in that thing" comment.<br /><br />Level Best as Ever,<br /><br />David Terry<br />www.davidterryart.comdavid terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18009130338123162371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-48782728070759777172012-08-28T13:49:56.751-04:002012-08-28T13:49:56.751-04:00Reggie, you really are a big tease keeping your lo...Reggie, you really are a big tease keeping your loyal readers on tenterhooks until the next installment.
