Sending the Sheriff

From the Academy

ON Christmas Eve, 1974, at Mount Pleasant, Michigan, a sheriff’s car, with siren wailing and colored lights blazing, pulled up at the residence of Mrs. Katherine Ux. Mrs. Ux was then a professor of art (about to retire) at Central Michigan University, and famous as a weaver and teacher of weaving; she had taught at Central for thirty years. She is a very mild lady, of conservative tastes, who suffers from diabetes. The coming of the police car disturbed her, and it disturbed her more when the deputy served her with a summons.
