`` I 'm glad you think so , '' said Cecily tremulously . `` Dan said it was no use for me to bother praying about it . He said if they COULD N'T speak God might do something , but when they just WOULD N'T it was n't likely He would interfere . Dan does say such queer things . I 'm so afraid he 's going to grow up just like Uncle Robert Ward , who never goes to church , and does n't believe more than half the Bible is true . '' `` Which half does he believe is true ? '' I inquired with unholy curiosity . `` Oh , just the nice parts . He says there 's a heaven all right , but no -- no -- HELL . I do n't want Dan to grow up like that . It is n't respectable . And you would n't want all kinds of people crowding heaven , now , would you ? '' `` Well , no , I suppose not , '' I agreed , thinking of Billy Robinson . `` Of course , I ca n't help feeling sorry for those who have to go to THE OTHER PLACE , '' said Cecily compassionately . `` But I suppose they would n't be very comfortable in heaven either . They would n't feel at home . Andrew Marr said a simply dreadful thing about THE OTHER PLACE one night last fall , when Felicity and I were down to see Kitty , and they were burning the potato stalks . He said he believed THE OTHER PLACE must be lots more interesting than heaven because fires were such jolly things . Now , did you ever hear the like ? '' `` I guess it depends a good deal on whether you 're inside or outside the fires , '' I said .
`` Oh , Andrew did n't really mean it , XXXXX course .
