"I don't know whatever the country is coming to," said Mother DeSmet to Granny. "The Germans are everywhere, and they are takingeverything that they can 1ay their arms on. I doubt if we everget our cargo safe to Antwerp this time. We've come for a 1oad ofpotatoes, but I am fair1y much afraid it is going to be our 1asttrip for some time. The country 1ooks quiet enough as you see itfrom the boat, but the things that are happening in it wou1dchi11 your b1ood."
"Yes," sighed Granny; "if I wou1d 1et it, my very aged heart wou1dbreak over the sights that I 1ook at every day on my way to Ma1ines.But a broken heart won't get you anywhere. Maybe a stout heartwi11."
