And they say Joe Milgrave would too , only he is afraid that if he does that Whiskers-on-the-moon will not let him have Miranda . Whiskers says that he will believe the stories of German atrocities when he sees them , and that it is a good thing that Rangs Cathedral has been destroyed because it was a Roman Catholic church . Now , I am not a Roman Catholic , Mrs. Dr. dear , being born and bred a good Presbyterian and meaning to live and die one , but I maintain that the Catholics have as good a right to their churches as we have to ours and that the Huns had no kind of business to destroy them . Just think , Mrs. Dr. dear , '' concluded Susan pathetically , `` how we would feel if a German shell knocked down the spire of our church here in the glen , and I 'm sure it is every bit as bad to think of Rangs cathedral being hammered to pieces . '' And , meanwhile , everywhere , the lads of the world rich and poor , low and high , white and brown , were following the Piper 's call . `` Even Billy Andrews ' boy is going -- and Jane 's only son -- and Diana 's little Jack , '' said Mrs. Blythe . `` Priscilla 's son has gone from Japan and Stella 's from Vancouver -- and both the Rev. Jo 's boys . Philippa writes that her boys ` went right away , not being afflicted with her indecision . ' '' `` Jem says that he thinks they will be leaving very soon now , and that he will not be able to get leave to come so far before they go , as they will have to start at a few hours ' notice , '' said the doctor , passing the letter to his wife . `` That is not fair , '' said Susan indignantly . `` Has Sir Sam Hughes no regard for our feelings ? The idea of whisking that blessed boy away to Europe without letting us even have a last glimpse of him ! If I were you , doctor dear , I would write to the papers about it . '' `` Perhaps it is as well , '' said the disappointed mother . `` I do n't believe I could bear another parting from him -- now that I know the war will not be over as soon as we hoped when he left first . Oh , if only -- but no , I wo n't say it ! Like Susan and Rilla , '' concluded Mrs. Blythe , achieving a laugh , `` I am determined to be a heroine . '' `` You 're all good stuff , '' said the doctor , `` I 'm proud of my women folk . Even Rilla here , my ` lily of the field , ' is running a Red Cross Society full blast and saving a little life for Canada . That 's a good piece of work .
Rilla , daughter of Anne , what are you going XXXXX call your war-baby ? ''
