Try to be tactful. Sometimes people are so possessed with the truth that they're brutal. Eleanor was happily married for decades before her husband died recently. Of course they lied a little to each other, she says. You have to, really.
Every gentleman knows some lies are debts of honor.
I'm sure she never has. Why somebody's late, why somebody's vague. Over in Iowa, Sharon's had a little more practice. Sharon uses white lies to draw a line in the sand, to set boundaries. But at times, telling a white lie can come back to haunt you.
