His second wife could manage him . She made him walk Spanish , believe me ! The first thing she did was to make him hustle round and put up a tombstone to the first Mrs. Job -- and she had a place left on it for her own name . She said there 'd be nobody to make Job put up a monument to HER . '' `` Speaking of Taylors , how is Mrs. Lewis Taylor up at the Glen , doctor ? '' asked Captain Jim . `` She 's getting better slowly -- but she has to work too hard , '' replied Gilbert . `` Her husband works hard too -- raising prize pigs , '' said Miss Cornelia . `` He 's noted for his beautiful pigs . He 's a heap prouder of his pigs than of his children . But then , to be sure , his pigs are the best pigs possible , while his children do n't amount to much . He picked a poor mother for them , and starved her while she was bearing and rearing them . His pigs got the cream and his children got the skim milk . `` There are times , Cornelia , when I have to agree with you , though it hurts me , '' said Captain Jim . `` That 's just exactly the truth about Lewis Taylor . When I see those poor , miserable children of his , robbed of all children ought to have , it p ` isens my own bite and sup for days afterwards . '' Gilbert went out to the kitchen in response to Anne 's beckoning . Anne shut the door and gave him a connubial lecture . `` Gilbert , you and Captain Jim must stop baiting Miss Cornelia . Oh , I 've been listening to you -- and I just wo n't allow it . ''
` Anne , Miss XXXXX is enjoying herself hugely .
