Oh , women ca n't preach or be elders ; but they can build churches and scare up the money for them . '' `` The Methodists allow women to preach , '' said Captain Jim . Miss Cornelia glared at him . `` I never said the Methodists had n't common sense , Captain . What I say is , I doubt if they have much religion . '' `` I suppose you are in favor of votes for women , Miss Cornelia , '' said Gilbert . `` I 'm not hankering after the vote , believe ME , '' said Miss Cornelia scornfully . '' I know what it is to clean up after the men . But some of these days , when the men realize they 've got the world into a mess they ca n't get it out of , they 'll be glad to give us the vote , and shoulder their troubles over on us . That 's THEIR scheme . Oh , it 's well that women are patient , believe ME ! '' `` What about Job ? '' suggested Captain Jim . `` Job ! It was such a rare thing to find a patient man that when one was really discovered they were determined he should n't be forgotten , '' retorted Miss Cornelia triumphantly . `` Anyhow , the virtue does n't go with the name . There never was such an impatient man born as old Job Taylor over harbor . '' `` Well , you know , he had a good deal to try him , Cornelia . Even you ca n't defend his wife . I always remember what old William MacAllister said of her at her funeral , ` There 's nae doot she was a Chreestian wumman , but she had the de'il 's own temper . ' ''
`` I XXXXX she WAS trying , '' admitted Miss Cornelia reluctantly , `` but that did n't justify what Job said when she died .
