Rilla of Ingleside Part III

Rilla is desperately upset when Walter joins up, but then, he is killed. Jem is taken prisoner and they hear nothing of him for some time. Rilla grieves for her brother but goes on with her war work and looking after baby Jims, and has a surprise when she and Jims have to take shelter in a house from a storm one night, and the lady who owns it takes a fancy to the child and when she dies shortly afterwards she leaves him some money. Then they get word from Jims' father who has been serving in the British army. He had not gotten in touch for a while but left the baby to Rilla's care. He has been repatriated and will be back in Canada, soon and he has become engaged to an English girl. Rilla meets her and likes her. She thinks that if she marries Mr Anderson, she will organise him, and he will work harder and make a living and Jims also has some money in trust for his education. She is sorry to lose her war baby, but continues to work and help her mother at home... Ken Ford comes back from the war, safely and asks her to marry him. Jem comes home when the war ends, and says that he was not ill treated in the German camp but that there was little food. The war is finally over and Britain has won, but the Blythes have suffered a grievious loss.
