"I hope they won't call Mr Baxter from East Grafton here, anyhow,"said Anne decidedly. "He wants the call but he does preach such gloomy sermons. Mr Bell says he's a minister of the old school, but Mrs Lynde says there's nothing whatever the matter with him but indigestion. His wife isn't a very good cook it seems, and Mrs Lynde says that when a man has to eat sour bread two weeks out of three his theology is bound to get a kink in it somewhere..."
Anne of Avonlea, by L.M. Montgomery, p203
