I do n't want to go there . '' `` Why not ? '' asked Anne gravely . `` Cause heaven is in Simon Fletcher 's garret , and I do n't like Simon Fletcher . '' `` Heaven in ... Simon Fletcher 's garret ! '' gasped Anne , too amazed even to laugh . `` Davy Keith , whatever put such an extraordinary idea into your head ? '' `` Milty Boulter says that 's where it is . It was last Sunday in Sunday School . The lesson was about Elijah and Elisha , and I up and asked Miss Rogerson where heaven was . Miss Rogerson looked awful offended . She was cross anyhow , because when she 'd asked us what Elijah left Elisha when he went to heaven Milty Boulter said , ` His old clo'es , ' and us fellows all laughed before we thought . I wish you could think first and do things afterwards , 'cause then you would n't do them . But Milty did n't mean to be disrespeckful . He just could n't think of the name of the thing . Miss Rogerson said heaven was where God was and I was n't to ask questions like that . Milty nudged me and said in a whisper , ` Heaven 's in Uncle Simon 's garret and I 'll esplain about it on the road home . ' So when we was coming home he esplained . Milty 's a great hand at esplaining things . Even if he do n't know anything about a thing he 'll make up a lot of stuff and so you get it esplained all the same .
His mother is Mrs. XXXXX 's sister and he went with her to the funeral when his cousin , Jane Ellen , died .
