And Mrs. Alec Davis said the little hussy ought to be spanked . '' `` Mrs. Leander Crawford is always crying in church , '' said Susan contemptuously . `` She cries over every affecting thing the minister says . But you do not often see her name on a subscription list , Mrs. Dr. dear . Tears come cheaper . She tried to talk to me one day about Aunt Martha being such a dirty housekeeper ; and I wanted to say , ` Every one knows that YOU have been seen mixing up cakes in the kitchen wash-pan , Mrs. Leander Crawford ! ' But I did not say it , Mrs. Dr. dear , because I have too much respect for myself to condescend to argue with the likes of her . But I could tell worse things than THAT of Mrs. Leander Crawford , if I was disposed to gossip . And as for Mrs. Alec Davis , if she had said that to me , Mrs. Dr. dear , do you know what I would have said ? I would have said , ' I have no doubt you would like to spank Faith , Mrs. Davis , but you will never have the chance to spank a minister 's daughter either in this world or in that which is to come . ' '' `` If poor Faith had only been decently dressed , '' lamented Miss Cornelia again , `` it would n't have been quite that bad . But that dress looked dreadful , as she stood there upon the platform . '' `` It was clean , though , Mrs. Dr. dear , '' said Susan . `` They ARE clean children . They may be very heedless and reckless , Mrs. Dr. dear , and I am not saying they are not , but they NEVER forget to wash behind their ears . '' `` The idea of Faith forgetting what day was Sunday , '' persisted Miss Cornelia . `` She will grow up just as careless and impractical as her father , believe ME . I suppose Carl would have known better if he had n't been sick . I do n't know what was wrong with him , but I think it very likely he had been eating those blueberries that grew in the graveyard . No wonder they made him sick .
If I was a Methodist I 'd try XXXXX keep my graveyard cleaned up at least . ''
