Before this war is over, ' [Walter] said - or something said through his lips - 'every man and woman and child in Canada will feel it - you, Mary, will feel it - feel it to your heart's core. You will weep tears of blood over it. The Piper has come - and he will pipe until every corner of the world has heard his awful and irresistible music. It will be years before the dance of death is over - years, Mary. And in those years millions of hearts will break. L.m. Montgomery
About This Quote

The story of the Piper is a fascinating one. In the late 1940’s, George Orson Welles had created a radio program called "The War of the Worlds" where he presented an alien invasion of America. The show was so realistic that people believed that it was real news. People who heard the program believed that they were listening to real news and that they were being attacked by aliens.

As the show continued, more people began to hear it and panic spread across America. People in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York City even thought that they were being invaded by the aliens! Eventually, General Pershing was called in to handle the problem. He sent in his troops to fight off the aliens who were hiding out in New Jersey.

The war only lasted for a few days before it was over.
