Page 331 - We've all given something to keep you flying," she said. "Four hundred thousand of our boys gone overseas — fifty thousand of them killed. But — you are worth it!" The wind whipped her grey hair about her face and the gingham apron that shrouded her from head to foot was cut on lines of economy, not of grace; yet, somehow, just then Susan made an imposing figure. She was one of the women — courageous, unquailing, patient, heroic — who had made victory possible. In her, they all saluted the...

" Before this war is over," he said — or something said through his lips — " every man and woman and child in Canada will feel it — you, Mary, will feel it — feel it to your heart's core. You will weep tears of blood over it. The Piper has come — and he will pipe until every corner of the world has heard his awful and irresistible music.

This will be part of your work, Rilla. And if you — all you girls back in the homeland — do it, then we who don't come back will know that you have not 'broken...
Page 172 - Walter said lightly, having said all his serious things the night before in Rainbow Valley. But at the last moment he took her face between his hands and looked deep into her gallant eyes. " God bless you, Rilla-wty-Rilla,

Page 67 - She had her little store of homely philosophies to guide her through life, but she had nothing to buckler her against the thunderbolts of the week that had just passed.
