Note: This story is full of subjectivity and ambiguity, but without apparent fantasy elements. However, having been included in several genre anthologies, including one devoted to "the fantastic," makes it "genre" for the purposes of this database. First published in Scribner's, January 1931.

Synopsis: This story set in a southern town alternates between men who are working themselves up to lynch a black man who (it is rumored) "insulted" a white woman, and the woman in question, who is a sexually frustrated 40, and now finds people taking an interest in her sexuality again, in this ironic form.
