nurselaney: I’ll Come Around: A Playlist for Walter Blythe and Una Meredith “I meant to write to Una tonight, too, but I won’t have time now. Read this letter to her and tell her it’s really meant for you both–you two dear, fine loyal girls. Tomorrow, when we go over the top–I’ll think of you both–of your laughter, Rilla-my-Rilla, and the steadfastness in Una’s blue eyes–somehow I see those eyes very plainly tonight, too. Yes, you’ll both keep faith–I’m sure of that–you and Una. And so–goodnight. We go over the top at dawn.” - Walter’s Last Letter, Rilla of Ingleside chapter XXIII Una took the letter and when Rilla had gone she pressed it against her lonely lips. Una knew that love would never come into her life now–it was buried for ever under the blood-stained soil “Somewhere in France.” No one but herself–and perhaps Rilla–knew it–would ever know it. She had no right in the eyes of her world to grieve. She must hide and bear her long pain as best she could–alone. But she, too, would keep faith. - Rilla of Ingleside chapter XXIII -- source link
