You mind me of a little brother of mine that died ten years ago. "Tim," he said, just afore he went, "Tim, will you meet me in heaven?" He was the only one I ever loved, and I've lived a dog's life since!' His eyes were moist with feeling, and for a minute Teddy looked at him silently in pitying wonder.
