`` Wait till they 've gone regularly for a year . '' `` You can not depend on Mrs. Jamieson a bit , Mrs. Dr. dear , '' said Susan solemnly . `` She died once and when they were measuring her for her coffin , after laying her out just beautiful , did she not go and come back to life ! Now , Mrs. Dr. dear , you know you CAN NOT depend on a woman like that . '' `` She might turn Methodist at any moment , '' said Miss Cornelia . `` They tell me they went to the Methodist Church at Lowbridge quite as often as to the Presbyterian . I have n't caught them at it here yet , but I would not approve of taking Mrs. Jamieson into the Sunday School . Yet we must not offend them . We are losing too many people , by death or bad temper . Mrs. Alec Davis has left the church , no one knows why . She told the managers that she would never pay another cent to Mr. Meredith 's salary . Of course , most people say that the children offended her , but somehow I do n't think so . I tried to pump Faith , but all I could get out of her was that Mrs. Davis had come , seemingly in high good humour , to see her father , and had left in an awful rage , calling them all ` varmints ! ' '' `` Varmints , indeed ! '' said Susan furiously . `` Does Mrs. Alec Davis forget that her uncle on her mother 's side was suspected of poisoning his wife ? Not that it was ever proved , Mrs. Dr. dear , and it does not do to believe all you hear . But if I had an uncle whose wife died without any satisfactory reason , I would not go about the country calling innocent children varmints . '' `` The point is , '' said Miss Cornelia , `` that Mrs. Davis paid a large subscription , and how its loss is going to be made up is a problem . And if she turns the other Douglases against Mr. Meredith , as she will certainly try to do , he will just have to go . ''
`` I do not think Mrs. Alec Davis is very well liked XXXXX the rest of the clan , '' said Susan .
