Certain injuries are inevitable and necessitate a rest, but there are others of minor importance to which some men will not give way. I do not laud this as pure bravado, but because it sets an example and infuses a spirit into a team that is worth many games in a long race. I have the greatest respect and admiration for the Bennetts and the Bushongs of base-ball.
Goode, the courteous manager of the Birmingham and Midland Bank, is the son of the founder of this firm. It will be remembered that in 1825 the firm of Gibbins, Smith, and Co. collapsed. As soon as their affairs were arranged, Mr. Gibbins and a nephew of his, named Lovell, opened a bank in New Street, on the spot where Mr. Whitehead now has his shop, at the corner of Bennetts Hill.
The fighting spirit of the Bennetts, though it was considerable fighting spirit, had not risen to this emergency. It had ebbed out of her, leaving in its place a cold panic.
Anyway it seemed to him that ambition pitted against scruple was an easy winner. He could play on that, and he felt he knew how to play on it, and was in a position to do so. She had come back to him successful. He wondered how successful. He moved from the window and passed over to the desk, where he picked up his 'phone and asked for a number. "Hullo! Oh, that Bennetts? Oh, yes.
"Well, no; not yet." He and Mrs. Houghton were sitting on the porch in that somnolent hour after dinner, before she went upstairs to take a nap, and Maurice should go over to the Bennetts' for singles with Johnny; Eleanor was resting.

Hubbard and Jane had to see some relative or other; but I preferred to take a walk." "Where are you staying?" asked Orde. "At the Bennetts'. Do you know where it is?" "Yes," replied Orde. They said little more until the Bennetts' gate was reached. Orde declined to come in. "Good-night," she said. "I want to thank you. You did not once act as though you thought I was silly or crazy.
To me, alone, it gave nothing. I should be happier with the Bennetts, forgetting self and self's vague longings in a plunge into the fraternal dispute. I turned away into a narrow alley, but I was unaccustomed to Perugian streets and had not solved the mystery of their windings.
Bennetts Hill was considered the street of the town, architecturally. The Norwich Union Office then held aloft the same lady, who, long neglected, looks now as if her eyes were bandaged to hide the tears which she is shedding over her broken scales. The Bank of England has not been altered, though at that time it was occupied by a private company.
"Can you tell us, dear?" was the gentle query that recalled him. "Read it aloud," he said, and though her voice was tremulous, the tone was clear and the hush breathless. Even Lilian and her lover could hear every word. CAMP ON TONTO CREEK, December , 5:30 A.M. DEAR GENERAL: Almy scores again. General Crook sends his best congratulations. The little Bennetts should be safely with you to-night.
He was one of the last to retain, in all its rigour, the peculiar dress of the Society of Friends. His stout, broad-set figure, with the wide-brimmed hat, collarless coat, drab "thoses" and gaiters, will be remembered by many readers. The Commercial Bank had offices at the corner of Ann Street and Bennetts Hill. Mr. John Stubbs was an active promoter of this bank, and Mr. James Graham was manager.
