`` No -- not if those of us who live will show ourselves worthy of it -- if we ` keep faith . ' '' `` We will keep faith , '' said Gertrude . She rose suddenly . A silence fell around the table , and in the silence Gertrude repeated Walter 's famous poem `` The Piper . '' When she finished Mr. Meredith stood up and held up his glass . `` Let us drink , '' he said , `` to the silent army -- to the boys who followed when the Piper summoned . ` For our tomorrow they gave their today ' -- theirs is the victory ! '' CHAPTER XXXIV MR. HYDE GOES TO HIS OWN PLACE AND SUSAN TAKES A HONEYMOON Early in November Jims left Ingleside . Rilla saw him go with many tears but a heart free from boding . Mrs. Jim Anderson , Number Two , was such a nice little woman that one was rather inclined to wonder at the luck which bestowed her on Jim . She was rosy-faced and blue-eyed and wholesome , 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 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 XXXXX try a new country and I 've always thought Canada would suit me . ''
