Bruce Meredith is worrying over the babies who were drowned . And it seems he prayed for something very special last Friday night and did n't get it , and was feeling quite disgruntled over it . But when he heard about the Lusitania he told his mother that he understood now why God did n't answer his prayer -- He was too busy attending to the souls of all the people who went down on the Lusitania . That child 's brain is a hundred years older than his body , Mrs. Dr. dear . As for the Lusitania , it is an awful occurrence , whatever way you look at it . But Woodrow Wilson is going to write a note about it , so why worry ? A pretty president ! '' and Susan banged her pots about wrathfully . President Wilson was rapidly becoming anathema in Susan 's kitchen . Mary Vance dropped in one evening to tell the Ingleside folks that she had withdrawn all opposition to Miller Douglas 's enlisting . `` This Lusitania business was too much for me , '' said Mary brusquely . `` When the Kaiser takes to drowning innocent babies it 's high time somebody told him where he gets off at . This thing must be fought to a finish . It 's been soaking into my mind slow but I 'm on now . So I up and told Miller he could go as far as I was concerned . Old Kitty Alec wo n't be converted though . If every ship in the world was submarined and every baby drowned , Kitty would n't turn a hair . But I flatter myself that it was me kept Miller back all along and not the fair Kitty . I may have deceived myself -- but we shall see . '' They did see .
