The Holidays with Roberta

The following reminiscence first appeared in a little magazine called Twilight's Garden, which some of you may remember. It appeared a few months after the same autobiographical story we published here. Roberta is continuing her account of her life in Colbyville.

I once asked her if this story was true, like the one told in "In Old Tennessee." Of course, she said, though I thought she had a twinkle in her eye. But I know a lot of your friends, I said, and I don't know a Paige Whitfield.

"I had to change the names, dear," she replied. "You can understand that. No need to embarrass the woman further."

And the matter was closed.

Read the rest of the story in Christmas in Colbyville.
