"You see," explained Kitty to me, "Annie used to be married to Benjie Martin, who works for Colonel Meriwether, at the house just beyond the trees there." "I'se married to him yit," said Annie, between sobs. "Heap more'n that taller-faced yaller girl he done taken up with now." "I think myself," said Kitty, judicially, "that Benjie might at least bow to his former wife when he passes by."
I hope Uncle Martin will not be offended." "He's a good sport, George. But say what did Pat do to give you this hunch?" Remington smoked in meditative silence, then answered: "Well, Penny, I had to raise the devil of a row the other day to keep Pat from ribbing up Benjie Doolittle and the organization to a frame-up to kidnap this Eliot person." "Kidnap E. Eliot!" gasped the amazed Evans.

I had no fear whatever for Benjie; for the blackguard vermin, though he could not manage the refractory horse, stuck on his seat like a monkey.
She was for some little time in the shop, because Miss Milligan always had a great deal to say about her little nephew Benjie, who was at the School as a day-boy and was likely to get a scholarship, and was just now suffering from boils. Joan was a good listener and a patient, so that it was quite late after ten o'clock as she hurried back. Just by the Arden Gate Ellen Stiles met her.
'About the middle of the night The cocks began to craw: And at the dead hour o' the night The corpse began to thraw. Ballad of Young Benjie.
"If I ever had to cast anchor anywhere on shore, that's the sort of country I should choose, now," observed Benjie Stubbs, our second officer, who had been examining the coast for some time through his glass. "I wouldn't change one half-acre of any part of our principality for a thousand of its richest acres," said David Gwynne, our surgeon, to whom he spoke.
