persisted Anne . `` Oh , there 's a few , just to show that with God all things are possible , '' acknowledged Miss Cornelia reluctantly . `` I do n't deny that an odd man here and there , if he 's caught young and trained up proper , and if his mother has spanked him well beforehand , may turn out a decent being . YOUR husband , now , is n't so bad , as men go , from all I hear . I s ` pose '' -- Miss Cornelia looked sharply at Anne over her glasses -- `` you think there 's nobody like him in the world . '' `` There is n't , '' said Anne promptly . `` Ah , well , I heard another bride say that once , '' sighed Miss Cornelia . `` Jennie Dean thought when she married that there was n't anybody like HER husband in the world . And she was right -- there was n't ! And a good thing , too , believe ME ! He led her an awful life -- and he was courting his second wife while Jennie was dying . `` Was n't that like a man ? However , I hope YOUR confidence will be better justified , dearie . The young doctor is taking real well . I was afraid at first he might n't , for folks hereabouts have always thought old Doctor Dave the only doctor in the world . Doctor Dave had n't much tact , to be sure -- he was always talking of ropes in houses where someone had hanged himself . But folks forgot their hurt feelings when they had a pain in their stomachs . If he 'd been a minister instead of a doctor they 'd never have forgiven him . Soul-ache does n't worry folks near as much as stomach-ache . Seeing as we 're both Presbyterians and no Methodists around , will you tell me your candid opinion of OUR minister ? ''
`` Why -- really -- I -- well , '' hesitated XXXXX .
