And two days after Nancy appeared. She came up to the big chair very shyly, and looked with awe upon Teddy's white, wasted face; then she cried impulsively,   'Oh, button boy, will you ever, ever forgive me? If you had died, I should have killed you!' AND TWO DAYS AFTER NANCY APPEARED SHE CAME UP TO THE BIG CHAIR VERY SHYLY AND LOOKED WITH AWE UPON TEDDY'S WHITE WASTED FACE THEN SHE CRIED IMPULSIVELY OH BUTTON BOY WILL YOU EVER FORGIVE ME IF YOU HAD DIED I SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOU
uldn't live without my button, but she told me that was wrong; she said it wasn't being a good soldier to wish to die directly trouble came, and that if I bore my sorrow well God would be pleased. Do you think I'm bearing it well, granny?' 'Yes, yes,' Mrs. Platt said soothingly. 'Look at those lovely flowers and grapes that Mrs. Graham sent to you this morning. Wasn't that kind of her?' 'I don't never forget it,' pursued Teddy, refusing to have the subject changed; 'but I thought this morning that God could give it to me again, and so I'm going to ask Him every day till it comes; and do you know, granny, I think He'll give it to me, only mother says I must be patient.' Presently he asked, 'Could I see Nancy, one day soon?' 'She comes, on her way to school, every day to ask how you are. Poor little maid! she's taken on dreadful about your illness, and wouldn't eat her food when you were so ill. Her mother got quite anxious about her. We'll send for her in a day or two, if you keep well.  WHEN I FIRST TALKED ABOUT IT I FELT I COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT MY BUTTON BUT SHE TOLD ME THAT WAS WRONG SHE SAID IT WASN'T BEING A GOOD SOLDIER TO WISH TO DIE DIRECTLY TROUBLE CAME AND THAT IF I BORE MY SORROW WELL GOD WOULD BE PLEASED DO YOU THINK I'M BEARING IT WELL GRANNIE YES YES MISSUS PLATT SAID SOOTHINGLY LOOK AT THOSE LOVELY FLOWERS AND GRAPES THAT MISSUS GRAHAM SENT TO YOU THIS MORNING WASN'T THAT KIND OF HER I DON'T NEVER FORGET IT PURSUED TEDDY REFUSING TO HAVE THE SUBJECT CHANGED BUT I THOUGHT THIS MORNING THAT GOD COULD GIVE IT TO ME AGAIN AND SO I'M GOING TO ASK HIM EVERY DAY TILL IT COMES AND DO YOU KNOW GRANNIE I THINK HE'LL GIVE IT TO ONLY MOTHER SAYS I MUST BE PATIENT PRESENTLY HE ASKED COULD I SEE NANCY ONE DAY SOON SHE COMES ON HER WAY TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY TO ASK HOW YOU ARE POOR LITTLE MAID SHE'S TAKEN ON DREADFUL ABOUT YOUR ILLNESS AND WOULDN'T EAT HER FOOD WHEN YOU WERE SO ILL HER MOTHER GOT QUITE ANXIOUS ABOUT HER WE'LL SEND FOR HER IN A DAY OR TWO IF YOU KEEP WELL
