The Gossips (March 6, 1948)
By Diana Denny

It seems Rockwell (have) a neighbor who started a disagreeable rumor about him. What can one do about a nasty gossip? Well, if you are a famous illustrator, you can paint a cover about it. It (start) with just a couple of people, then it just (grow), leaving Rockwell in need of more models. The result, (say) the editors, is that we see “almost the entire adult population of Arlington, Vermont”. As he (work) on the project, the artist (worry) that his friends and neighbors might be (offend), so he (include) his wife and himself. Mary Rockwell is second and third in the third row, spreading the rumor via rotary phone. In the gray felt hat in the bottom row is, of course, the artist himself. You’ll notice the lady at the end is the one at the beginning who (start) the rumor, and our friend Rockwell appears to be giving her a piece of his mind. Apparently, the neighbor who (begin) the rumor in real life never (speak) to Rockwell again. I have a feeling it (be) no great loss. The lesson here is: don’t anger someone whose Saturday Evening Post covers viewed by millions.
