Rilla saw at first glance that she was to be trusted with Jims . `` I 'm fond of children , miss , '' she said heartily . `` 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 , wo n'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 wo n'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 Armistice came , and even Glen St. Mary went mad . That night the village had a bonfire , and burned the Kaiser in effigy .
The fishing village boys turned out and burned all the sandhills off in one grand glorious conflagration that extended XXXXX seven miles .
