'My father was a non commissioned officer,' said Teddy, determining not to be beaten; 'he was a full sergeant.' 'My father gives orders to all the sailors, and they have to do what he tells them.' 'So did my father, and he led the soldiers through a battle.' 'My father will fight in twenty battles before he dies, and yours only fought in one.'

Teddy turned round earnestly as he spoke. 'I think,' said Nancy slowly, 'I like to be naughty best.' Then she added, with quick change of tone, 'My father is coming home soon, and he'll come to see us here. Then you'll see what a grand sailor he is. He is much grander than your father was.
