Chapter XIV
FAITH'S GIFTS IT was only a few days after Faith's birthday that the Great War came to an end, and an armistice was signed by Germany. There were great rejoicings in the village. The church bells rang out all day, flags were erected; the school had a holiday, and there was a bonfire and fireworks at night. The little girls were very excited, and walked about the village all day talking to everybody. Nobody could keep indoors.
