"Mrs.Lynde says his delivery was so poor, but I think his worst fault was just like Mr.Bentley's--he had no imagination.

And Mr.
Terry had too much; he let it run away with him just as I did mine in the matter of the Haunted Wood.

Besides, Mrs.Lynde says his theology wasn't sound.

Mr.Gresham was a very good man and a very religious man, but he told too many funny stories and made the people laugh in church; he was undignified, and you must have some dignity about a minister, mustn't you, Matthew?
I thought Mr.Marshall was decidedly attractive; but Mrs.Lynde says he isn't married, or even engaged, because she made special inquiries about him, and she says it would never do to have a young unmarried minister in Avonlea, because he might marry in the congregation and that would make trouble.

Mrs.Lynde is a very farseeing woman, isn't she, Matthew?
I'm very glad they've called Mr.Allan.
