The trial took place on a Monday, so that he had at his command an entire week before he would be required to appear again in his church. He had watched the case against Benjamin and Smiler very closely, and had known beforehand, almost with accuracy, what witnesses would appear and what would not at the great coming event at the Old Bailey.
The Captain was always near the swimmers, in his punt, that in case of accident his assistance might be immediate. Boys, if you have ever read Benjamin Franklin's directions to those learning to swim, you will understand the methods our Captain pursued to teach us.

"If M. Benjamin de Constant means to write a paper on this young poet, it will not be long before I make a bargain with him." At the title of General, and the distinguished name of Benjamin Constant, the bookseller's shop took the proportions of Olympus for the provincial great man. "Lousteau, I want a word with you," said Finot; "but I shall see you again later, at the theatre.
But ah! the immensity of our Niger; the immensity of the plains it waters; the immensity of our fields, whose only limit is the distant horizon!" Benjamin had listened, quivering.
