In The Possibility of Evil, Miss Strangeworth has lived on Pleasant Street all her life. Her family started the town that everyone is living in. Her roses have been around for generations. She is still living in the family house. Everyone likes Miss Strangeworth. Everyone says hello to her in passing. They ask her about why their babies aren't doing something the way they should. She acts concerned about people's problems, but Miss Strangeworth has a secret. Every week she writes a few letters to people in town anonymously. She wants to keep the town pure and free from "the possibility of evil". She tells wives their husbands are cheating, even if it might not be true. She tells parents that their daughter's good friend has dirty thoughts and that the two might be more than friends. She never really knows if this is true or not, but if she thinks something bad could be true she takes care of it. She wants to keep her town free from evils, keep Pleasant Street pleasant. Miss Strangeworth does what she does all on this "possibility of evil" lingering, if something bad is in the air she takes care of it for the sake of the town that her family built.
