'You young rascal, what have you been doing? You're never a day out of mischief. If I was your mother I'd give you a good whipping; but she spoils you.' YOU YOUNG RASCAL WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING YOU'RE NEVER A DAY OUT OF MISCHIEF IF I WAS YOUR MOTHER I'D GIVE YOU A GOOD WHIPPING BUT SHE SPOILS YOU
 That's what the sea does to the poor sailors. Their ship begins to sink, and they send up three cheers for queen and country, and then stand on deck with folded arms, and go down, down, down to the bottom of the sea, and never make a cry!' Nancy forgot her wet clothes in her eloquence, and Teddy stared wonderingly at her. 'Well,' he said, as if considering the matter, 'they may be sometimes brave, but they don't fight like the soldiers, and they have no banners, and red coats, and band; and they don't know how to march. A sailor walks anyhow. I saw one once, and I thought he was tipsy, but he wasn't. A sailor walks like a goose--he waddles!' 'You're the horridest, rudest boy I've ever seen!' And with the utmost dignity Nancy walked away, Teddy calling after her, 'You made a pretty good charge for a girl, but you couldn't get past me!' And then with one of his loud whoops he raced home, and hardly drew a breath till he reached the farmhouse door. His grandmother confronted him at once. ST WHEN THEY'VE BEEN FIGHTING HARD AND GOT THE VICTORY THAT'S WHAT THE SEA DOES TO THE POOR SAILORS THEIR SHIP BEGINS TO SINK AND THEY SEND UP THREE CHEERS FOR QUEEN AND COUNTRY THEN STAND ON DECK WITH FOLDED ARMS AND GO DOWN DOWN TO THE BOTT OF THE SEA AND NEVER MAKE A CRY NANCY FORGOT HER WET CLOTHES IN HER ELOQUENCE AND TEDDY STARED WONDERINGLY AT HER WELL HE SAID AS IF CONSIDERING THE MATTER THEY MAY BE SOMETIMES BRAVE BUT THEY DON'T FIGHT LIKE THE SOLDIERS AND THEY HAVE NO BANNERS AND RED COATS AND BAND AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO MARCH A SAILOR WALKS ANYHOW I SAW ONE ONCE AND I THOUGHT HE WAS TIPSY BUT HE WASN'T A SAILOR WALKS LIKE A GOOSE HE WADDLES YOU'RE THE HORRIDEST RUDEST BOY I'VE EVER SEEN AND WITH THE UTMOST DIGNITY NANCY WALKED AWAY TEDDY CALLING AFTER HER YOU MADE A PRETTY GOOD CHARGE FOR A GIRL BUT YOU COULDN'T GET PAST ME AND THEN WITH ONE OF HIS LOUD WHOOPS HE RACED HOME AND HARDLY DREW A BREATH TILL HE REACHED THE FARMHOUSE DOOR HIS GRANDMOTHER CONFRONTED HIM AT ONCE
