Much to my relief , she made no further reference to my affairs . As we rounded a curve in the road where two great over-arching elms met , a buggy wheeled by us , occupied by a young man in clerical costume . He had a pleasant boyish face , and he touched his hat courteously . Aunt Philippa nodded very frostily and gave her horse a quite undeserved cut . `` There 's a man you do n't want to have much to do with , '' she said portentously . `` He 's a Methodist minister . '' `` Why , Auntie , the Methodists are a very nice denomination , '' I protested . `` 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 XXXXX years .
