You do n't know , Anne , dearie , what good it did my heart to hear Leslie send you a message like that , laughing like she used to long ago . `` There 's a great change come over her lately . She laughs and jokes like a girl , and from her talk I gather she 's here real often . '' `` Every day -- or else I 'm over there , '' said Anne . `` I do n't know what I 'd do without Leslie , especially just now when Gilbert is so busy . He 's hardly ever home except for a few hours in the wee sma 's . He 's really working himself to death . 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 XXXXX .
