The Art of Cynthia's Dream

Why, The Good Steward
We are at the local automobile dealership.  There is a crowd of indistinguishable faces forming a circle near the the showroom. At the center is a college age Cynthia. She is obviously talking confidently to a man who is much taller and much older.  He stands facing Cynthia with a harsh glare. Both his hands are on his hips and something in his manner denotes that he believes he has the upper hand.  There is a man in uniform standing near Cynthia who appears to be giving Cynthia support. Some of the facial expressions of the crowd are defiantly gazing at the smirk-faced man while others are looking with extreme pride to Cynthia as she takes him on. In the background behind Cynthia is a girl about Cynthia’s age. She is pushing a stroller laden with an infant -- she has a diaper bag slung over her shoulder. She too, is staring at the sarcastic-face man with wondering trepidation.
