Early in November Jims left Ingleside. Rilla saw him go with many tears but a heart free from boding1. Mrs. Jim Anderson, Number Two, was such a nice little woman that one was rather inclined to wonder at the luck which bestowed2 her on Jim. She was rosy-faced and blue-eyed and wholesome3, with the roundness and trigness of a geranium leaf. Rilla saw at first glance that she was to be trusted with Jims.
"I'm fond of children, miss," she said heartily4. "I'm used to them—I've left six little brothers and sisters behind me. Jims is a dear child and I must say you've done wonders in bringing him up so healthy and handsome. I'll be as good to him as if he was my own, miss. And I'll make Jim toe the line all right. He's a good worker—all he needs is some one to keep him at it, and to take charge of his money. We've rented a little farm just out of the village, and we're going to settle down there. Jim wanted to stay in England but I says 'No.' I hankered to try a new country and I've always thought Canada would suit me."
"I'm so glad you are going to live near us. You'll let Jims come here often, won't you? I love him dearly."
"No doubt you do, miss, for a lovabler child I never did see. We understand, Jim and me, what you've done for him, and you won't find us ungrateful. He can come here whenever you want him and I'll always be glad of any advice from you about his bringing up. He is more your baby than anyone else's I should say, and I'll see that you get your fair share of him, miss."
So Jims went away—with the soup tureen, though not in it. Then the news of the Armistice5 came, and even Glen St. Mary went mad. That night the village had a bonfire, and burned the Kaiser in effigy6. The fishing village boys turned out and burned all the sandhills off in one grand glorious conflagration7 that extended for seven miles. Up at Ingleside Rilla ran laughing to her room.
