'Why, that's just the beginning. I'm only outside. The gates are shut, but when they see me coming, two more angels come and swing them wide open, and I'm feeling rather frightened, but I walk in. There's a long wide street made like the gates, and I walk very carefully, for fear of slipping down, then I see a lot of angels coming along with trumpets, and then they go first and begin to play like the soldiers' band. I march on to a very, very, very big door, and there on the steps leading up stands my Captain.' WHY THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING I'M ONLY OUTSIDE THE GATES ARE SHUT BUT WHEN THEY SEE ME COMING TWO MORE ANGELS COME AND SWING THEM WIDE OPEN AND I'M FEELING RATHER FRIGHTENED BUT I WALK IN THERE'S A LONG WIDE STREET MADE LIKE THE GATES AND I WALK VERY CAREFULLY FOR FEAR OF SLIPPING DOWN THEN I SEE A LOT OF ANGELS COMING ALONG WITH TRUMPETS THEN THEY GO FIRST AND BEGIN TO PLAY LIKE THE SOLDIERS BAND I MARCH ON TO A VERY VERY BIG DOOR AND THERE ON THE STEPS LEADING UP STANDS MY CAPTAIN
Do let me come, too!' said Nancy. 'I want to be on the angel's back with you.' 'P'raps you can follow behind on another angel; I want mine all to myself. We get up to the top of the mountain, then I stand down on the ground.' 'And me, too!' put in Nancy. 'You mustn't keep stopping me; I can't feel it if you do. I stand there, and I think at first I can't see nothing but a lot of little soft clouds, one above the other, just like those over there; but the angel says, "Put your foot on one of them, and then on the next one--they're the steps to heaven!"' 'Oh!' gasped Nancy, following it with keen reality; 'you'll tumble!' 'I don't; it's like putting your foot in cotton wool. I go up--I have to go quite by myself, but the angel comes behind, to see I don't fall. And then he says, "Look up; don't you see the gates?" And then I look, and I see them--shining gold gates, very big, and covered with jewels like Mrs. Graham wears on her fingers. I go up and up, and then I'm there.' 'Is that all? DS AND THEN WE FLY RIGHT TO THE TOP OF THAT MOUNTAIN OVER THERE DO LET ME COME TOO SAID NANCY I WANT TO BE ON THE ANGEL'S BACK WITH YOU PERHAPS YOU CAN FOLLOW BEHIND ON ANOTHER ANGEL I WANT MINE ALL TO MYSELF WE GET UP TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN THEN I STAND DOWN ON THE GROUND AND ME TOO PUT IN NANCY YOU MUSTN'T KEEP STOPPING ME I CAN'T FEEL IT IF YOU DO I STAND THERE AND I THINK AT FIRST I CAN'T SEE NOTHING BUT A LOT OF LITTLE SOFT CLOUDS ONE ABOVE THE OTHER JUST LIKE THOSE OVER THERE BUT THE ANGEL SAYS PUT YOUR FOOT ON ONE OF THEM AND THEN ON THE NEXT ONE THERE ARE THE STEPS TO HEAVEN OH GASPED NANCY FOLLOWING IT WITH KEEN REALITY YOU'LL TUMBLE I DON'T IT'S LIKE PUTTING YOUR FOOT AND COTTON WOOL I GO UP I HAVE GO QUITE BY MYSELF BUT THE ANGEL COMES BEHIND TO SEE I DON'T FALL AND THEN HE SAYS LOOK UP DON'T YOU SEE THE GATES AND THEN I LOOK AND I SEE THEM SHINING GOLD GATES VERY BIG AND COVERED WITH JEWELS LIKE MISSUS GRAHAM WEARS ON HER FINGERS I GO UP AND UP AND I'M THERE IS THAT ALL
