She 's got the bitterest tongue and the kindest heart in Four Winds . Wherever there 's any trouble , that woman is there , doing everything to help in the tenderest way . She never says a harsh word about another woman , and if she likes to card us poor scalawags of men down I reckon our tough old hides can stand it . '' `` She always speaks well of you , Captain Jim , '' said Mrs. Doctor . `` Yes , I 'm afraid so . I do n't half like it . It makes me feel as if there must be something sorter unnateral about me . '' CHAPTER 7 THE SCHOOLMASTER 'S BRIDE `` Who was the first bride who came to this house , Captain Jim ? '' Anne asked , as they sat around the fireplace after supper . `` Was she a part of the story I 've heard was connected with this house ? '' asked Gilbert . `` Somebody told me you could tell it , Captain Jim . '' `` Well , yes , I know it . I reckon I 'm the only person living in Four Winds now that can remember the schoolmaster 's bride as she was when she come to the Island . She 's been dead this thirty year , but she was one of them women you never forget . '' `` Tell us the story , '' pleaded Anne . `` I want to find out all about the women who have lived in this house before me . '' `` Well , there 's jest been three -- Elizabeth Russell , and Mrs. Ned Russell , and the schoolmaster 's bride . Elizabeth Russell was a nice , clever little critter , and Mrs. Ned was a nice woman , too . But they were n't ever like the schoolmaster 's bride .
