To me he was merely Jerry. But I struggled upward through the miasma of oppressive millions and met the issue squarely. "There is nothing in John Benham's advice which directs any vocational instruction," I said staunchly. "I was to bring the boy to the age of manhood without realization of sin." "A dream, Canby. Utopian, impossible!" "It has not proved so," I replied, nettled.
They took a seat by the side of the broad gravel walk. "Will no one rescue me?" thought Daisy. "He's bound to pass soon," thought Benham. Benham's wish was the first to be fulfilled. Before long the Premier came in sight, accompanied by Coxon. "Ah, there's your daughter," said the latter. "You were wondering where she was." Medland looked, and saw Daisy and Benham sitting side by side.
Re-entering the banking room he said: "I'm in no condition to face Miss Benham. Go down to the car and tell her that I shall be very busy here all day, and that I won't be able to see her until late tonight." Miss Benham's name was on the tip of the banker's tongue, but, glancing at Corrigan's face, he decided that it was no time for that particular brand of levity.
It was not until the next day in the hour between road and gym work that I managed to get Flynn aside. He had thus far succeeded in avoiding me, but I caught him by the arm as he was passing, dragged him into my study and shut the door. "See here, Flynn," I said with some warmth, "it's not my affair to interfere with any of Mr. Benham's plans.
It is remarkable, White reflected, as he turned over the abundant but confused notes upon this perplexing phase of Benham's development that lay in the third drawer devoted to the Second Limitation, how dependent human beings are upon statement. Man is the animal that states a case.
Of course Amanda was prepared to go anywhere, just as Benham's shadow; it was the world that was unprepared. And a second leading aspect of his original scheme had been the examination of the ways of government in cities and the shifting and mixture of nations and races.
If I said that my labors of ten years had been useless or that the fruition of John Benham's ideals for his son were still in doubt I should be putting the matter too strongly, but I have no hesitancy in confessing that the appearance of the girl had at least put them in jeopardy. She had turned his mind into a direction which I had carefully avoided.
I did not even warn him, as I should have done had I realized the imminence of danger or the necessity of keeping to the letter as well as the spirit of John Benham's definite instruction, for this I thought might lay undue stress upon the matter. And in the course of the morning, nothing further having been said, I was lulled into a sense of security.
Rosalind Benham had written about you to Ruth Gresham a friend of hers in New York. Ruth Gresham told me. I went directly from Manti to Benham's ranch. Then I came here about dusk, last night. There was a man here your foreman, he said. I explained, and he let me in. Trev won't you welcome me?" "It isn't the first time I've been in trouble."
Then when Benham returned Prothero would have disappeared. When the porter was questioned about Prothero his nescience was profound. One night no Prothero was discoverable at any hour, and Benham, who wanted to discuss a project for going on to Kieff and Odessa, was alarmed. "Moscow is a late place," said Benham's student friend. "You need not be anxious until after four or five in the morning.
