I think he 'd better confine himself to the Bible and leave sensational subjects alone . Things have come to a pretty pass if a minister ca n't find enough in Holy Writ to preach about , that 's what . What church do you attend , Anne ? I hope you go regularly . People are apt to get so careless about church-going away from home , and I understand college students are great sinners in this respect . I 'm told many of them actually study their lessons on Sunday . I hope you 'll never sink that low , Anne . Remember how you were brought up . And be very careful what friends you make . You never know what sort of creatures are in them colleges . Outwardly they may be as whited sepulchers and inwardly as ravening wolves , that 's what . You 'd better not have anything to say to any young man who is n't from the Island . `` I forgot to tell you what happened the day the minister called here . It was the funniest thing I ever saw . I said to Marilla , ` If Anne had been here would n't she have had a laugh ? ' Even Marilla laughed . You know he 's a very short , fat little man with bow legs . Well , that old pig of Mr. Harrison 's -- the big , tall one -- had wandered over here that day again and broke into the yard , and it got into the back porch , unbeknowns to us , and it was there when the minister appeared in the doorway . It made one wild bolt to get out , but there was nowhere to bolt to except between them bow legs . So there it went , and , being as it was so big and the minister so little , it took him clean off his feet and carried him away .
His hat went one way and his cane another , just XXXXX Marilla and I got to the door .
