Some folks think his wife dresses too gay , but I say when she has to live with a face like that she needs something to cheer her up . You 'll never hear ME condemning a woman for her dress . I 'm only too thankful when her husband is n't too mean and miserly to allow it . Not that I bother much with dress myself . Women just dress to please the men , and I 'd never stoop to THAT . I have had a real placid , comfortable life , dearie , and it 's just because I never cared a cent what the men thought . '' `` Why do you hate the men so , Miss Bryant ? '' `` Lord , dearie , I do n't hate them . They are n't worth it . I just sort of despise them . I think I 'll like YOUR husband if he keeps on as he has begun . But apart from him about the only men in the world I 've much use for are the old doctor and Captain Jim . '' `` Captain Jim is certainly splendid , '' agreed Anne cordially . `` Captain Jim is a good man , but he 's kind of vexing in one way . You CA N'T make him mad . I 've tried for twenty years and he just keeps on being placid . It does sort of rile me . And I s ` pose the woman he should have married got a man who went into tantrums twice a day . '' `` Who was she ? '' `` Oh , I do n't know , dearie .
I never remember of Captain XXXXX making up to anybody .
