To-day a strange, strange thing happened so strange, so wonderful and glorious that it ought to be recorded in luminous ink. And I owe it all to Benjy! Little dog, you shall go in a golden collar and eat lamb-chops every day! This morning Across my absorption in the diary cut the unwelcome clangor of Cookie's gong.
All the world had obeyed the call of the church bell save these and Nick. I bethought myself of Nick, and made my way back to Monsieur Gratiot's. I found my cousin railing at Benjy, who had extracted from the saddle-bags a wondrous gray suit of London cut in which to array his master. Clothes became Nick's slim figure remarkably.
"Oh! horrible!" cried Benjy, "why, he's no better than a maudlin', dawdlin', drawlin', caterwaulin' " "Come, Benjy, don't be insolent; he's second only to Tennyson. Just listen to this morceau by Buzzby. It is an Ode to Courage "`High! hot! hillarious compound of "
"We've lost three, I'm afraid, Major Benjy," she said. "Don't you think you overbid your hand just a little wee bit?" "I don't know about that, Miss Elizabeth," said the Major. "If you hadn't let those two spades go, and hadn't trumped my best heart " Miss Mapp interrupted with her famous patter.
Benjy himself was come of a family distinguished in the Vale for their prowess in all athletic games.
Under cover of this bit of family history I tried to rally from my confusion, but I knew my cheeks were burning. Looks of deepening surprise greeted the scarlet emblems of discomfiture that I hung out. "By heck, bet there's a feller at home named Benjy!" cackled Mr. Tubbs shrilly, and for once I blessed him. Aunt Jane turned upon him her round innocent eyes. "Oh, no, Mr.
It was Benjy, too, who saddled Tom's first pony, and instructed him in the mysteries of horsemanship, teaching him to throw his weight back and keep his hand low, and who stood chuckling outside the door of the girls' school when Tom rode his little Shetland into the cottage and round the table, where the old dame and her pupils were seated at their work.
And Sukey comes bouncing away from a knot of old school-fellows, and drops a curtsey to Mr. Benjamin. And elders come up from all parts to salute Benjy, and girls who have been madam's pupils to kiss Master Tom.
"It's gloriously knocked up you'll be before long at that rate," said the Captain. "Oh! but, uncle," said Leo, quickly, "you must not suppose that I give him all the hard work. We share it between us, you know. Benjy sometimes shoots and then I do the retrieving. You've no idea how good a shot he is becoming." "Indeed, let me see you do it, my boy. D'ye see that goose over there?"
"Why, we have a girls' department, too. You're an orphan as much as me. You get father to enter you as a candidate." "Oh, how could I, Benjy?" said Esther, her face falling. "What would become of Solomon and Ikey and little Sarah?" "They've got a father, haven't they? and a grandmother?" "Father can't do washing and cooking, you silly boy! And grandmother's too old."
