'And how is my little fellow soldier?' asked Mr. Upton, as he came in one day for his first visit to the little invalid after being downstairs. 'He'll soon be out of hospital,' responded Teddy brightly. 'And is he still fighting for his Captain?' 'I think, sir, Ipse has been very good while I've been ill.'

ok, this is Jack Tar! Doesn't she make a jolly sailor?' A gleeful, hearty peal of laughter came from Teddy, and was heard in the adjoining room by his grandmother with comfort. She called Mrs. John. 'Hear that, now! Why, he's getting quite himself again; it does him good to have a child to talk to. She must come again.' And this Nancy did, and the roses began to come back to Teddy's cheeks, and then others of his playfellows were allowed to come and see him. Certainly no little invalid could have received greater attention than he did during that time of convalescence. Every day small offerings were presented at the door by the village children, and very diverse were the gifts. Sometimes a bunch of wild-flowers, sometimes birds' eggs, marbles, boxes of chalk, a packet of toffee or barley-sugar, a currant bun, a tin trumpet, a whistle, a jam tart, a penny pistol, and so on, till his mother declared she would have to stop taking them in, as they were getting such an accumulation of them.
