The news about Mrs. Perkin who was accused of whoring in the village spread like wildfire around the village.
No one wanted to know or find out the truth, they all believed that which was displayed for them. Their mouths moved rapidly in haste to tarnish the already bad image of Mrs. Perkin. Some said she had been whoring around while taking those birth control pills so she wouldn't get pregnant, and her husband discovered it and ran away.
They all felt pity for Mr. Perkin while cursing his wife for doing something so evil. The villagers hated anything evil around them, that was the reason they would go to any length to make sure they got rid of it.
