[Anne's House of Dreams by Lucy Maud Montgomery]@TWC D-Link bookAnne's House of Dreams CHAPTER 8 22/34
We made a mistake when we called HIM.
His face just looks like one of those long, narrow stones in the graveyard, doesn't it? 'Sacred to the memory' ought to be written on his forehead.
I shall never forget the first sermon he preached after he came.
It was on the subject of everyone doing what they were best fitted for--a very good subject, of course; but such illustrations as he used! He said, 'If you had a cow and an apple tree, and if you tied the apple tree in your stable and planted the cow in your orchard, with her legs up, how much milk would you get from the apple tree, or how many apples from the cow ?' Did you ever hear the like in your born days, dearie? I was so thankful there were no Methodists there that day--they'd never have been done hooting over it.
But what I dislike most in him is his habit of agreeing with everybody, no matter what is said.
