'' `` I do n't understand what you mean -- I declare I do n't , '' said Janet in bewilderment . `` I think we 'll change the subject of conversation , '' said Mr. Leonard . It was a month later when `` the simple creature , Maggie '' appeared at the manse door one evening and asked for the preached . `` Naomi wants ter see yer , '' she mumbled . `` Naomi sent Maggie ter tell yer ter come at onct . '' `` I shall go , certainly , '' said Mr. Leonard gently . `` Is she very ill ? '' `` Her 's dying , '' said Maggie with a broad grin . `` And her 's awful skeered of hell . Her just knew ter-day her was dying . Maggie told her -- her would n't believe the harbour women , but her believed Maggie . Her yelled awful . '' Maggie chuckled to herself over the gruesome remembrance . Mr. Leonard , his heart filled with pity , called Janet and told her to give the poor creature some refreshment . But Maggie shook her head . `` No , no , preacher , Maggie must get right back to Naomi . Maggie 'll tell her the preacher 's coming ter save her from hell . '' She uttered an eerie cry , and ran at full speed shoreward through the spruce woods . `` The Lord save us ! ''
