And when there 's no preaching the folks wo n't come from a distance to bring the children . '' `` Go and call Carl , '' said Faith . Carl , it appeared , had a sore throat , induced by getting wet in the Rainbow Valley marsh the previous evening while pursuing dragon-flies . He had come home with dripping stockings and boots and had sat out the evening in them . He could not eat any breakfast and Faith made him go back to bed again . She and Una left the table as it was and went to Sunday School . There was no one in the school room when they got there and no one came . They waited until eleven and then went home . `` There does n't seem to be anybody at the Methodist Sunday School either , '' said Una . `` I 'm GLAD , '' said Faith . `` I 'd hate to think the Methodists were better at going to Sunday School on rainy Sundays than the Presbyterians . But there 's no preaching in their Church to-day , either , so likely their Sunday School is in the afternoon . '' Una washed the dishes , doing them quite nicely , for so much had she learned from Mary Vance . Faith swept the floor after a fashion and peeled the potatoes for dinner , cutting her finger in the process . `` I wish we had something for dinner besides ditto , '' sighed Una . `` I 'm so tired of it . The Blythe children do n't know what ditto is . And we NEVER have any pudding . Nan says Susan would faint if they had no pudding on Sundays . Why are n't we like other people , Faith ? ''
`` I do n't want to be XXXXX other people , '' laughed Faith , tying up her bleeding finger .
