Benjamin Logan continued amicably with Henderson on the march but did not recognize him as Lord Proprietor of Kentucky.

His offer touched me to the heart; I wanted to refuse, but he insisted, and slipped a shiny silver piece into my hand. I knew that his friendship for me must be very strong if he were willing to share his treasure with me. Benjamin, neither, had forgotten me; he also wanted to give me a present.

He has dropped down with the infection upon him, and if he be not lying in some pest house which they say it is death now to enter he must be lying in one of those awful graves. "O Reuben!

"Left, left," says he; "keep to your left hand, mate Jim! Under the trees with you! Theer's where I killed my first goat. They don't come down here now; they're all mast-headed on them mountings for the fear of Benjamin Gunn. Ah! and there's the cetemery" cemetery, he must have meant. "You see the mounds?

"I didn't know that," said Lizzie. "But I did; and with that rascal I have had money dealings for the last six or seven years. He has cashed bills for me, and has my name to bills now, and Sir Griffin's too.
If you will look about you, Benjamin, you will see that benevolence toward everybody is the great virtue of the time we live in. Poor Mr. Dexter must have the benefit of the prevailing fashion.
