Actually, they were in Anne of Windy Poplars, and were against Anne 
because they thought a relative of theirs should have been hired for 
the principalship of Summerside High School.  Anne "won" them over by 
finding a choice piece of information on one of their ancestors (a 
little cannibalism among shipwrecked sailors).  They were so afraid 
she'd spread the story that they bent over backwards sucking up to 
Anne.

Hermione mode off now.
