By this reference to Socrates, Keimer meant to slap Benjamin's Socratic method of argument, about which he talked much. "Can't you see it?" "And it ought to settle the appetite, also; and the quantity and kind of food that goes into the stomach," rejoined Benjamin, quickly. Keimer was a large eater never more satisfied than when devouring a good dinner that was exactly to his taste.
I entreated her to plead my cause, and even drew her in to answer Sir Benjamin's letters with the same intent. Of this I have made Clerimont suspicious; but 'tis you must inflame him to the pitch I want. "Spat. But will not Maria, on the least unkindness of Clerimont, instantly come to an explanation? "Lady S. This is what we must prevent by blinding...." "Act II. Scene 1st. All. 2d.
I resolve to speak ill of no man whatever, not even in a matter of truth; but rather by some means excuse the faults I hear charged upon others, and, upon proper occasions, speak all the good I know of every body." This was not all he wrote to guide his future career; but we have cited enough to show the current of Benjamin's thoughts at the time of which we are speaking.
They were much pleased with Benjamin's intelligence and fidelity, so that they frequently invited him to their houses, while the ignorance and rudeness of Keimer so disgusted them, that they took little notice of him. "You are completely master of your business," said the Surveyor-General to him; "and success is before you."
Benjamin must have a Benjamin's mess; and all others, as thou art capable, must feel and find the fruit of thy godliness. Thou must thus serve the Lord with much humility of mind, though through many difficulties and much temptation.
"And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck. Moreover he kissed all his brethren and wept upon them. "And after that his brethren talked with him." And this wonderful chapter ends thus:
Mr Benjamin's mind, during this address of poor Glegg's, was running on his guinea. He felt a distrust of her honesty or rather of the honesty of both father and daughter; and yet being far from a hard-hearted person, their evident distress and the man's sickness disposed him to make allowance for them.
So I will wait no longer, in case I miss the post, as it goes only once a week from here, and sometimes only once a month." Thus ended the first letter, and Benjamin's brothers and sisters were so pleased with it that they were delighted that one of the bundle of letters should be read aloud after the Sabbath meal on every Friday evening.
"But you will have to go to England to buy your types and whatever else you may need." Franklin agreed to do this. But he must first return to Boston and get his father's consent and assistance. The governor gave him a letter to carry to his father. In a few weeks he was on his way home. You may believe that Benjamin's father and mother were glad to see him.
Benjamin's figures, representing principal and interest up to date, and expressed himself as satisfied; it was extortionate but legal, he declared. The sum total was a little over twenty-five hundred pounds Bertie had received less than two-thirds of it in cash and Jimmie promptly hauled out a fat roll of Bank of England notes and paid down the amount.
