Rilla-my-Rilla Summary

The men come back from the front in this final chapter. Jem is barely recognizable, but Dog Monday recognizes him, and will no longer leave his side, ecstatic that his master is home. Rilla, however, does not know what to do with herself. She knows that Ken is home but hasn't heard a word from him. She considers taking a course in domestic science, but is not really interested in studying. In the final paragraph, however, she goes to the door, and finds Ken there, waiting for her.
