Say , old Kitty Alec has come back to church as meek as Moses and nobody knows why . But everybody is saying it was Faith brought Norman Douglas out . His housekeeper says you went there and gave him an awful tongue-lashing . Did you ? '' `` I went and asked him to come to church , '' said Faith uncomfortably . `` Fancy your spunk ! '' said Mary admiringly . '' I would n't have dared do that and I 'm not so slow . Mrs. Wilson says the two of you jawed something scandalous , but you come off best and then he just turned round and like to eat you up . Say , is your father going to preach here to-morrow ? '' `` No . He 's going to exchange with Mr. Perry from Charlottetown . Father went to town this morning and Mr. Perry is coming out to-night . '' `` I THOUGHT there was something in the wind , though old Martha would n't give me any satisfaction . But I felt sure she would n't have been killing that rooster for nothing . '' `` What rooster ? What do you mean ? '' cried Faith , turning pale . '' I do n't know what rooster . I did n't see it .
When she took the butter Mrs. Elliott sent up she said she 'd been out XXXXX the barn killing a rooster for dinner tomorrow . ''
