Excerpt: ...tea with us?' he asked breathlessly, as he came up to him. The corporal looked up. He was a fine-looking young man with a frank, bright face, and he was reading a well-worn Bible, which he put carefully in his pocket before he rose to his feet. 'That's very kind of your granny, ' he said; 'and I'll come with pleasure. I'm out of it at the Hare and Hounds.' Teddy's quick eyes had spied the Bible. 'Do you like the Bible?' he asked gravely.

Excerpt: ...tea with us?' he asked breathlessly, as he came up to him. The corporal looked up. He was a fine-looking young man with a frank, bright face, and he was reading a well-worn Bible, which he put carefully in his pocket before he rose to his feet. 'That's very kind of your granny, ' he said; 'and I'll come with pleasure. I'm out of it at the Hare and Hounds.' Teddy's quick eyes had spied the Bible. 'Do you like the Bible?' he asked gravely.

'Hardly any of them in my regiment, ' he said. 'We're nearly seven hundred strong, and only six men besides myself, as far as I can tell, belong to the Lord. A year ago I was an awful blackguard myself: I drank dreadfully, and couldn't give the drink up; but that's all a thing of the past. Since I have belonged to the Lord He keeps me from it, and many other bad habits. I'll own I fairly dreaded coming to this bit of duty. The sight and smell of the beer is very strong to a man that has been such a slave to it, and I must be quartered in public-houses the whole way along.' 'You'll have to fight like Mr. Upton told me to, won't you?' said Teddy. 'But if our Captain is with us, Mr. Upton says we shan't be beaten.' 'No, ' said the corporal, a light coming into his eyes. 'We shall be more than conquerors.' Then, after a pause, he said, 'It's very considerate of your granny to ask me to tea; I was just wishing that something could be done in this village for...
