So many of the over-harbor people send for him now . '' `` They might better be content with their own doctor , '' said Miss Cornelia . `` Though to be sure I ca n't blame them , for he 's a Methodist . Ever since Dr. Blythe brought Mrs. Allonby round folks think he can raise the dead . I believe Dr. Dave is a mite jealous -- just like a man . He thinks Dr. Blythe has too many new-fangled notions ! ` Well , ' I says to him , ` it was a new-fangled notion saved Rhoda Allonby . If YOU 'D been attending her she 'd have died , and had a tombstone saying it had pleased God to take her away . ' Oh , I DO like to speak my mind to Dr. Dave ! He 's bossed the Glen for years , and he thinks he 's forgotten more than other people ever knew . Speaking of doctors , I wish Dr. Blythe 'd run over and see to that boil on Dick Moore 's neck . It 's getting past Leslie 's skill . I 'm sure I do n't know what Dick Moore wants to start in having boils for -- as if he was n't enough trouble without that ! '' `` Do you know , Dick has taken quite a fancy to me , '' said Anne . `` He follows me round like a dog , and smiles like a pleased child when I notice him . '' `` Does it make you creepy ? '' `` Not at all . I rather like poor Dick Moore . He seems so pitiful and appealing , somehow . '' `` You would n't think him very appealing if you 'd see him on his cantankerous days , believe ME .
But I 'm glad you do n't mind him -- it 's all the nicer for XXXXX .
