He was never tired of looking at it, and what pleased him most was a little boy about his own age just being let inside the gates by a kind faced angel. 'Look at his white dress; not one tiny spot, Nobbles, he would exclaim. 'That's me going in, and I shall walk right up the street to God like that. There was a dark corner in the picture, and two weeping people being turned away.
The doctor, a grey-haired old man, humoured him, assured him that Nobbles must certainly lie in bed with him and be dosed, whereupon Bobby's smile shone out and he murmured: 'Nobbles and me is both very ill indeed. 'Nurse, he said, 'if I die, shall I go to heaven? I can't if I haven't a white robe. Do tell me how I can get it. 'You're not going to die, Master Bobby; you're getting well fast.
A Friend, a rest, a home, a crown, a song, a robe, and a harp with palms of victory. Bobby's attention was fixed for a time as the clergyman spoke of these one by one. He described heaven with all its glories, and Bobby nodded his head as he listened. 'Me and you have seen it, Nobbles, he whispered. 'We sawed it in the picsher.
Now, darling, True is calling to you from the garden. Run out to her, and the air and sunshine will bring colour into those pale cheeks of yours. 'Me and Nobbles likes to be darlings, Bobby informed True a short time afterwards. 'We aren't darlings with Nurse or grandmother. When his father returned, Bobby approached him, almost trembling to hear his fate. 'Well, little chap, Mr.
Bobby was too overwhelmed with the fate of Nobbles to think of the dog he had rescued, so he followed his aunt through the orchard and garden, and flung himself into the arms of his nurse, who, hearing his sobs, came to meet him. 'He's dead! He's broken in two! Oh, mine Nobbles! mine Nobbles! 'Here, Nurse, take him up to the nursery.
Bobby felt very unhappy for a few days after she left, then began to make the best of it, and turned more than ever to his beloved companion, Nobbles. One afternoon he sat up in his favourite apple-tree watching the white high-road. Presently two boys came along chasing a poor miserable-looking little dog whose tail was tied to an old saucepan.
Do get him back for me! I love him so! The boy laughed, then surprised everyone by throwing off his jacket, splashing into the pond, and swimming like a fish towards Nobbles. Of course a policeman immediately appeared on the scene and was very angry.
'You were beating the sofa with Nobbles this morning, and Mrs. Dodds would be awful angry if she knew. 'That was Nobbles. 'Ah, that's another spot on your dress; you're making 'scuses, and blaming Nobbles when it was reely you. Bobby hastily changed the conversation, and then there was a knock and ring at the hall door, and in another moment Mr.
But he never tired of his post, and his face was always full of patient expectancy. He got up in the tree now, and 'Nobbles' was tightly grasped in his hand. 'It may be "Nobbles" that they'll come together. It's a ship he'll come in same as Master Mortimer, and the ship comed in yesterday Tom said so.
'Jane has run round to the other side with mine. I thought my ship would go straight across to her. Bobby handed him Nobbles very reluctantly. The little fellow stretched Nobbles out, but just failed to reach his boat, then he lost his balance, tumbled into the water himself, and though he scrambled out again the next moment, he left go of Nobbles, who floated out of reach at once.
