I wanted Marshall to stop our subscription to the Journal instantly , but he only laughed and said that to-day 's issue was the only one that had had anything readable in it for a year . Marshall never will take anything seriously -- just like a man . Fortunately , Evan Boyd is like that , too . He takes it as a joke and is laughing all over the place about it . And he 's another Methodist ! As for Mrs. Burr of Upper Glen , of course she will be furious and they will leave the church . Not that it will be a great loss from any point of view . The Methodists are quite welcome to THEM . '' `` It serves Mrs. Burr right , '' said Susan , who had an old feud with the lady in question and had been hugely tickled over the reference to her in Faith 's letter . `` She will find that she will not be able to cheat the Methodist parson out of HIS salary with bad yarn . '' `` The worst of it is , there 's not much hope of things getting any better , '' said Miss Cornelia gloomily . `` As long as Mr. Meredith was going to see Rosemary West I did hope the manse would soon have a proper mistress . But that is all off . I suppose she would n't have him on account of the children -- at least , everybody seems to think so . '' `` I do not believe that he ever asked her , '' said Susan , who could not conceive of any one refusing a minister . `` Well , nobody knows anything about THAT . But one thing is certain , he does n't go there any longer . And Rosemary did n't look well all the spring . I hope her visit to Kingsport will do her good . She 's been gone for a month and will stay another month , I understand .
I ca n't remember when XXXXX was away from home before .
