And you see my words have come true , Mrs. Marshall Elliott . '' Susan sighed again heavily . She was enjoying herself hugely . A funeral was really a delightful subject of conversation . `` I always liked to meet Myra , '' said Miss Cornelia . `` She was always so gay and cheerful -- she made you feel better just by her handshake . Myra always made the best of things . '' `` That is true , '' asserted Susan . `` Her sister-in-law told me that when the doctor told her at last that he could do nothing for her and she would never rise from that bed again , Myra said quite cheerfully , ` Well , if that is so , I 'm thankful the preserving is all done , and I will not have to face the fall house-cleaning . I always liked house-cleaning in spring , ' she says , ` but I always hated it in the fall . I will get clear of it this year , thank goodness . ' There are people who would call that levity , Mrs. Marshall Elliott , and I think her sister-in-law was a little ashamed of it . She said perhaps her sickness had made Myra a little light-headed . But I said , ` No , Mrs. Murray , do not worry over it . It was just Myra 's way of looking at the bright side . ' '' `` Her sister Luella was just the opposite , '' said Miss Cornelia . `` There was no bright side for Luella -- there was just black and shades of gray . For years she used always to be declaring she was going to die in a week or so . ' I wo n't be here to burden you long , ' she would tell her family with a groan . And if any of them ventured to talk about their little future plans she 'd groan also and say , ` Ah , I wo n't be here then . '
When I went XXXXX see her I always agreed with her and it made her so mad that she was always quite a lot better for several days afterwards .
