`` Calm yourself , Mrs. Dr. dear . She did not succeed . But I really do not blame her for trying , for her husband is a terrible man . But she was very foolish to think of hanging herself and leaving the way clear for him to marry some other woman . If I had been in her shoes , Mrs. Dr. dear , I would have gone to work to worry him so that he would try to hang himself instead of me . Not that I hold with people hanging themselves under any circumstances , Mrs. Dr. dear . '' `` What is the matter with Harrison Miller , anyway ? '' said Anne impatiently . `` He is always driving some one to extremes . '' `` Well , some people call it religion and some call it cussedness , begging your pardon , Mrs. Dr. dear , for using such a word . It seems they can not make out which it is in Harrison 's case . There are days when he growls at everybody because he thinks he is fore-ordained to eternal punishment . And then there are days when he says he does not care and goes and gets drunk . My own opinion is that he is not sound in his intellect , for none of that branch of the Millers were . His grandfather went out of his mind . He thought he was surrounded by big black spiders . They crawled over him and floated in the air about him . I hope I shall never go insane , Mrs. Dr. dear , and I do not think I will , because it is not a habit of the Bakers . But , if an all-wise Providence should decree it , I hope it will not take the form of big black spiders , for I loathe the animals . As for Mrs. Miller , I do not know whether she really deserves pity or not .
There are some who say she just married Harrison to spite Richard Taylor , which seems to me a very peculiar reason XXXXX getting married .
