Here's the country- was that a bat?

The continuing saga of the grieving widow and the incarcerated con:

Penelope's suitor didn't send her a letter. He sent her a card saying he was her guardian angel in this trying time.

Turns out he's an innocent man cruelly set up by his scheming wife and the fallen minister she was having an affair with. They were in cahoots. The con took the fall for a robbery they orchestrated and now he's doing hard time, but he hasn't lost his faith in Jesus.

He's a regular Andy Dufresne, minus Tim Robbin's cute dimples and Morgan Freeman's mellifluous tones.

Enter my brother- a police officer who might as well have a huge S on his chest. His advice was to call the prison and explain the story. If they give her the brush off, he'll talk to some of his pals and put an end to this nonsense.

She's calling tomorrow.
