`` Yes , but it took the Judgment Day to make her . I wish , '' added Cecily with a sigh , `` that I had n't been in quite such a hurry giving away my forget-me-not jug . '' `` And I wish I had n't been in such a hurry deciding I 'd be a Presbyterian , '' said Peter . `` Well , it 's not too late for that , '' said Dan . `` You can change your mind now . '' `` No , sir , '' said Peter with a flash of spirit , `` I ai n't one of the kind that says they 'll be something just because they 're scared , and when the scare is over go back on it . I said I 'd be Presbyterian and I mean to stick to it . '' `` You said you knew a story that had something to do with Presbyterians , '' I said to the Story Girl . `` Tell us it now . '' `` Oh , no , it is n't the right kind of story to tell on Sunday , '' she replied . `` But I 'll tell it to-morrow morning . '' Accordingly , we heard it the next morning in the orchard . `` Long ago , when Judy Pineau was young , '' said the Story Girl , `` she was hired with Mrs. Elder Frewen -- the first Mrs. Elder Frewen . Mrs. Frewen had been a school-teacher , and she was very particular as to how people talked , and the grammar they used . And she did n't like anything but refined words . One very hot day she heard Judy Pineau say she was ` all in a sweat . ' Mrs. Frewen was greatly shocked , and said , ` Judy , you should n't say that . It 's horses that sweat . You should say you are in a perspiration . ' Well , Judy promised she 'd remember , because she liked Mrs. Frewen and was anxious to please her .
Not long afterwards Judy was scrubbing the kitchen floor one morning , and when Mrs. Frewen came in XXXXX looked up and said , quite proud over using the right word , ` Oh , Mees Frewen , ai n't it awful hot ?
