A Pulitzer Prize winning story - Judge McKelva was seen as a reassuring figure. People looked at him, with his wife Becky and daughter Laurel, and they felt good: that was how well bred people ought to be. But when, 10 years after his wife's death, the Judge marries silly young Fay, everyone is disconcerted - especially Laurel.
