You will be given in charge of one of these probation officers. She will find work for you, and a good home, and she'll stand by you, and you must report to her. If she is satisfied with you at the end of the year, the boy goes back to you." "She will be satisfied," the woman said, simply. She stooped and taking Bennie's face between her hands kissed him once.
Rose-Marie was hoping to push that day into the background to make it only a dim uncertainty rather than the sword of Damocles that it was. But she could only hope. Bennie, too, was a problem. But it was Bennie who cheered Rose-Marie when she felt that her efforts in behalf of Ella were failing. For Bennie's brain was the fertile ground in which she could plant ideals, and dreams.
But Bennie's mother was not of this crowd; this pitiful, ludicrous crowd filling the great room with the stifling, rancid odor of the poor. Nor was Bennie. He sat, clear-eyed and unsmiling, in the depths of a great chair on the court side of the railing and gravely received the attentions of the lawyers, and reporters and court room attaches who had grown fond of the grave little figure.
We've got to use pretty near the full lift to get the alternator up to the proper speed." A chill ran down Bennie's spine. They were going to start the engine!
You wouldn't understand." Bennie's suspicions now were in full play, and his gaze came to rest upon Calvin Gray; his eyes began to blaze. "You you big bum!" he cried. "I might have known you were a double-crosser." "Hush, Bennie, please!" "I'll get you for this." The midget was quivering with rage. "You'll look worse 'n that, you you big bum!" "Take my key. Here!"
"Now Ben, we've been over that and over it. Discipline is the father's job." "Well, I won't do it. Bennie's just a baby. Let him do a few things himself. Won't hurt him." "Ben!" "That Nana is an officious busybody, trying to run our lives." "Oh, Ben! You know Nana loves little Bennie. She only wants to help him." "But to what?"
Konrad Nirlanger, Cuddler-in-chief and Authority on the Subject of Bennie's Bed-time; Mr. Blackie Griffith, Good Angel, General Cut-up and Monitor off'n Bennie's Neckties and Toys; Dr. Ernst von Gerhard, Chief Medical Adviser, and Sweller of the Exchequer, with the Privilege of Selecting All Candies. Bennie had been one of those little tragedies that find their way into juvenile court.
Bennie's the cashier, and he palms everything from dimes to dishtowels. Force of habit! Better count your change till I break him of short-changing the customers." "You " Stoner stopped in his tracks. "Oh, I'm giving him lessons in elemental honesty." "My God! Are you turning honest, too?" the other man exclaimed. "Seems like that's all I hear lately."
Bennie's dwelling; while, at Beaconsfield, the beauty of Councillor Blackbeard's verandah was marred, as also nearly were the persons of half a dozen workmen close by. A few shells shot appallingly close to the bugler perched on the summit of the headgear.
Even at that distance Mary knew the cob and she knew the man. It was Squire Chelwood: Bennie's quick eye saw him too. "Hide!" he said, in a low threatening voice, and pointed to a gap in the hedge opposite. Mary's brain reeled. Should she stop Mr Chelwood and betray Bennie? But then the gypsies would claim her, she would belong to them, they would take her away. Anything was better than that.
