'Would you like to have died and gone to heaven?' 'Yes,' Teddy answered promptly, 'of course I should. Wouldn't you?' Nancy shook her head. 'I might if I was quite sure the angel would carry me safely all the way without dropping me, or leaving me in the clouds before we got there; but I think I like to live here best. WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN YES TEDDY ANSWERED PROMPTLY OF COURSE I SHOULD WOULDN'T YOU NANCY SHOOK HER HEAD I MIGHT IF I WAS QUITE SURE THE ANGEL WOULD CARRY ME SAFELY ALL THE WAY WITHOUT DROPPING ME OR LEAVING ME IN THE CLOUDS BEFORE WE GOT THERE BUT I THINK I LIKE TO LIVE HERE BEST
said Teddy, with a little decided nod, 'and I think He'll do it. You ask Him too, Nancy, and perhaps He'll do it quicker.' 'I've asked God every day to make you better, and I promised Him if He would do it I would be the Captain's soldier. Yes, I did, and I said I would give up being a sailor, and be just a soldier, like you are.' Nancy made this statement with great solemnity, and Teddy beamed with delight. 'And are you really enlisted?' 'I don't quite know, but I'm trying to be good, and I ask Jesus to help me every day.' Then there was silence. Nancy sat down on the rug, and took the large tabby cat on her lap. 'Did you think you was going to die?' she asked presently. 'I didn't think nothing at all till I woke up, and saw mother crying over me, and then I felt dreadful tired and ill. I asked her one day where she would bury me, for I was sure I was much too ill to get better, and she--well, she smiled, and said God was making me stronger every day. I didn't feel I was better a bit.
