`` My stepmother is a Methodist , you know . '' `` No , I did n't know , but I 'd believe anything of a stepmother . I 've no use for Methodists or their ministers . This fellow just came last spring , and it 's my opinion he smokes . And he thinks every girl who looks at him falls in love with him -- as if a Methodist minister was any prize ! Do n't you take much notice of him , Ursula . '' `` I 'll not be likely to have the chance , '' I said , with an amused smile . `` Oh , you 'll see enough of him . He boards at Mrs. John Callman 's , just across the road from us , and he 's always out sunning himself on her verandah . Never studies , of course . Last Sunday they say he preached on the iron that floated . If he 'd confine himself to the Bible and leave sensational subjects alone it would be better for him and his poor congregation , and so I told Mrs. John Callman to her face . I should think she would have had enough of his sex by this time . She married John Callman against her father 's will , and he had delirious trembles for years . That 's the men for you . '' `` They 're not all like that , Aunt Philippa , '' I protested . `` Most of 'em are . See that house over there ? Mrs. Jane Harrison lives there . Her husband took tantrums every few days or so and would n't get out of bed .
She had XXXXX do all the barn work till he 'd got over his spell .
