In college she fell in love with an evangelist, became deeply religious, watched the unfolding of an ugly campus "romance" when an effeminate music teacher married to stop the gossip that was threatening his job. At home she saw a still more sordid end to romance when Kirby Townsend married, communicated a venereal disease to his wife, was finally crippled in an accident while driving with a village bad woman. As a schoolteacher Selma was fond...
