If it had been a boy he 'd have ranted because it was n't a girl . They had four girls and three boys before , so I ca n't see that it made much difference what this one was , but of course he 'd have to be cantankerous , just like a man . The baby is real pretty , dressed up in its nice little clothes . It has black eyes and the dearest , tiny hands . '' `` I must go and see it . I just love babies , '' said Anne , smiling to herself over a thought too dear and sacred to be put into words . `` I do n't say but what they 're nice , '' admitted Miss Cornelia . `` But some folks seem to have more than they really need , believe ME . My poor cousin Flora up at the Glen had eleven , and such a slave as she is ! Her husband suicided three years ago . Just like a man ! '' `` What made him do that ? '' asked Anne , rather shocked . `` Could n't get his way over something , so he jumped into the well . A good riddance ! He was a born tyrant . But of course it spoiled the well . Flora could never abide the thought of using it again , poor thing ! So she had another dug and a frightful expense it was , and the water as hard as nails . If he HAD to drown himself there was plenty of water in the harbor , was n't there ?
I 've no patience with a XXXXX like that .
