I was brought up to know better than that , if I have come down in the world . '' Faith would not go down to supper that night and she would not go to church the next morning . But at dinner time she went to the table , her eyes swollen with crying , her face sullen . The Rev. James Perry was a sleek , rubicund man , with a bristling white moustache , bushy white eyebrows , and a shining bald head . He was certainly not handsome and he was a very tiresome , pompous sort of person . But if he had looked like the Archangel Michael and talked with the tongues of men and angels Faith would still have utterly detested him . He carved Adam up dexterously , showing off his plump white hands and very handsome diamond ring . Also , he made jovial remarks all through the performance . Jerry and Carl giggled , and even Una smiled wanly , because she thought politeness demanded it . But Faith only scowled darkly . The Rev. James thought her manners shockingly bad . Once , when he was delivering himself of an unctuous remark to Jerry , Faith broke in rudely with a flat contradiction . The Rev. James drew his bushy eyebrows together at her . `` Little girls should not interrupt , '' he said , `` and they should not contradict people who know far more than they do . '' This put Faith in a worse temper than ever . To be called `` little girl '' as if she were no bigger than chubby Rilla Blythe over at Ingleside ! It was insufferable . And how that abominable Mr. Perry did eat ! He even picked poor Adam 's bones . Neither Faith nor Una would touch a mouthful , and looked upon the boys as little better than cannibals .
Faith felt that if that awful repast did not soon XXXXX to an end she would wind it up by throwing something at Mr. Perry 's gleaming head .
