The last time I saw her , her face had a thousand wrinkles -- maybe more , maybe less -- from worrying and foreboding . She howled dreadful at her first husband 's funeral but she married again in less than a year . The next note , I see , describes the special service in our church last Sunday night and says the decorations were very beautiful . '' `` Speaking of that reminds me that Mr. Pryor strongly disapproves of flowers in church , '' said Miss Cornelia . `` I always said there would be trouble when that man moved here from Lowbridge . He should never have been put in as elder -- it was a mistake and we shall live to rue it , believe me ! I have heard that he has said that if the girls continue to ` mess up the pulpit with weeds ' that he will not go to church . '' `` The church got on very well before old Whiskers-on-the-moon came to the Glen and it is my opinion it will get on without him after he is gone , '' said Susan . `` Who in the world ever gave him that ridiculous nickname ? '' asked Mrs. Blythe . `` Why , the Lowbridge boys have called him that ever since I can remember , Mrs. Dr. dear -- I suppose because his face is so round and red , with that fringe of sandy whisker about it . It does not do for anyone to call him that in his hearing , though , and that you may tie to . But worse than his whiskers , Mrs. Dr. dear , he is a very unreasonable man and has a great many queer ideas . He is an elder now and they say he is very religious ; but I can well remember the time , Mrs. Dr. dear , twenty years ago , when he was caught pasturing his cow in the Lowbridge graveyard . Yes , indeed , I have not forgotten that , and I always think of it when he is praying in meeting . Well , that is all the notes and there is not much else in the paper of any importance . I never take much interest in foreign parts . Who is this Archduke man who has been murdered ? '' `` What does it matter to us ? '' asked Miss Cornelia , unaware of the hideous answer to her question which destiny was even then preparing .
`` Somebody is always murdering or being XXXXX in those Balkan States .
