`` There are so many passages in it that seem to me exactly descriptive of the Huns . Old Highland Sandy declares that there is no doubt that the Kaiser is the Anti-Christ spoken of in Revelations , but I do not go as far as that . It would , in my humble opinion , Mrs. Dr. dear , be too great an honour for him . '' Early one morning , several days later , Miranda Pryor slipped up to Ingleside , ostensibly to get some Red Cross sewing , but in reality to talk over with sympathetic Rilla troubles that were past bearing alone . She brought her dog with her -- an over-fed , bandy-legged little animal very dear to her heart because Joe Milgrave had given it to her when it was a puppy . Mr. Pryor regarded all dogs with disfavour ; but in those days he had looked kindly upon Joe as a suitor for Miranda 's hand and so he had allowed her to keep the puppy . Miranda was so grateful that she endeavoured to please her father by naming her dog after his political idol , the great Liberal chieftain , Sir Wilfrid Laurier -- though his title was soon abbreviated to Wilfy . Sir Wilfrid grew and flourished and waxed fat ; but Miranda spoiled him absurdly and nobody else liked him . Rilla especially hated him because of his detestable trick of lying flat on his back and entreating you with waving paws to tickle his sleek stomach . When she saw that Miranda 's pale eyes bore unmistakable testimony of her having cried all night , Rilla asked her to come up to her room , knowing Miranda had a tale of woe to tell , but she ordered Sir Wilfrid to remain below . `` Oh , ca n't he come , too ? '' said Miranda wistfully . `` Poor Wilfy wo n't be any bother -- and I wiped his paws so carefully before I brought him in . He is always so lonesome in a strange place without me -- and very soon he 'll be -- all -- I 'll have left -- to remind me -- of Joe . '' Rilla yielded , and Sir Wilfrid , with his tail curled at a saucy angle over his brindled back , trotted triumphantly up the stairs before them . `` Oh , Rilla , '' sobbed Miranda , when they had reached sanctuary . `` I 'm so unhappy . I ca n't begin to tell you how unhappy I am . Truly , my heart is breaking . '' Rilla sat down on the lounge beside her .
Sir Wilfrid squatted on his haunches before them , XXXXX his impertinent pink tongue stuck out , and listened .
