In L.M. Montgomery's "The Story Girl," the character Felicity expresses her frustration about how another character casually refers to Old Scratch. She feels that the way this person talks about him makes the notorious figure seem ordinary rather than remarkable. Felicity’s complaint underscores the tension between her view of the figure's significance and the dismissive attitude of others.

Her remark highlights a deeper theme in the story, where ordinary characters grapple with notions of the supernatural and the moral implications of such personas. This interaction reveals the differing perspectives among the characters, contributing to the rich tapestry of their relationships and the folklore they discuss.
