'Well, they're on it, as close as they can be to it. Why, you're nearly crying! But you're only a girl, and a sailor's girl can't be very brave  not like a soldier's girl would be.'

button, I b'lieve you just picked up the old brass thing from the gutter!' 'If you weren't a girl, I'd fight you!' sputtered Teddy now, with rising wrath. 'Pooh! I expect I could lick you; I don't b'lieve you have half as big a muscle as I have on my arm.' 'A girl have muscle! It's just a bit of fat!' The tone of scorn proved too much for Nancy's self-control; with a passionate exclamation she made a quick rush across the plank, there was a struggle, and the result was what might have been expected--a great splash, a scream from Nancy, and both little figures were immersed in the stream. Happily the water was not very deep, and after a few minutes' scrambling they were on dry ground, considerably sobered by their immersion. Teddy began to laugh a little shamefacedly, but Nancy was very near tears. 'I'll tell my mother you nearly drowned me dead.' 'If you're a sailor's daughter, you oughtn't to be afraid of the water; sailors and fish are always in the sea.' 'They're never in it; never!
