The Marshal's Widow
A memorial service.
Then delicious food.
Nobody can resist some fine words and an even finer meal.
Perfect, except for one small detail.
The Marshal's widow is a no-go on booze.
She wants to make a statement since her hubby departed as a result of too much imbibing.
The guests do their best to oblige the lady.
But abstinence is not exactly their strong suit.
So they conspire to sneak in the liquor.
All is merry.
The Marshal's widow doesn't suspect the antics of the guests are not from deep emotions but stem from the secret of the grain.
An apt story poking fun at human foibles and idealistic notions.
