...Creator." A dutiful husband, Duperrier cultivates the seven deadly sins in the hope of losing the halo. Matters reach a hilariously poignant pitch when Duperrier blushingly prepares for lust by reading the latest sex manuals aloud. At story's end, he is a prostitute's pimp, but the nimbus of light still rings his head. The highly orthodox moral: the unmerited gift of divine grace is not man's to will or wile away...
