They took to her like a rich tawny wine poured out of some capacious barrel by some high ruthless hand who had suddenly discovered the futility of all riches ...Maybe she was just an imaginative old fool. ...Ah, sure what harm anyway to be guessing at infinite mysteries, and she so small on a mountain road?”
-From the 1953 short
story “She Went By Gently” by Paul Vincent Carroll (1900-1968)
