Brooks' heart was so full that she had to cry into a coarse purple handkerchief of Bennie's, which happened to be in her pocket, and felt very much ashamed because she could not find her voice again, or any words in which to tell her gratitude. It was just as well, though. Mrs. Allen knew words were not everything.
Ach, I am but lonely all the long day here in this strange land. You will let me care for him, nicht? And Konrad, he will be very angry, but that shall make no bit of difference. Eh, Oscar?" And so the thing was settled, and an hour later three anxious-browed women were debating the weighty question of eggs or bread-and-milk for Bennie's supper.
"It's really Bennie's party, and I'm going to make it as pretty as I can." "Alice, I don't understand you. Why do you do this?" "Because I must. She and the Captain are going East on a visit, and Ben wants to give them a 'jolly send-off, as he calls it. Besides, I like the girl." Lee mused in silence for a few moments. "I guess you're right. Of course I'll come. Who else will?"
At such times I am apt to work myself up into rather a savage frame of mind, and to shut myself in my room evenings, paying no heed to Frau Nirlanger's timid knocking, or Bennie's good-night message.
Allen, he gets so excited about it he don't know what he says." "I wonder you did not take her to the City Hospital, Mrs. Brooks. There she could be treated free of expense." "The fact is, we didn't dare to," replied Mrs. Brooks, taking up an old shoe of Bennie's, and beginning to brush it; "there are folks that have told us it ain't safe; they try experiments on poor folks."
"I've come all the way from Boston." He felt himself treated like a criminal, felt the suspicion in Holliday's eye. The factor laughed. "In that case you certainly deserve sympathy." Then he hesitated. "Oh, well, come along," he said finally. "We'll see what we can do for you." A rope ladder had been thrown over the side and one of the sailors now lowered Bennie's luggage into the boat.
Last night had gone well. The Old Man would give them a pre-paid vacation clearance to any resort in the world or out. Why gloom? He rubbed Bennie's unruly hair, kissed Betty and conveyed over from Guest-ville to office. Message-sec, in tone respect-admiration A, told him the Old Man was waiting for him. Susan, the human receptionist in the outer office, favored him with a dazzling smile.
Which alone was enough to distinguish Bennie, for Juvenile court children, as a rule, are distinctly not kissable. Bennie's mother was accused of being unfit to care for her boy, and Bennie was temporarily installed in the Detention Home.
Atterbury turned and groped his way through a doorway, and they passed first into what appeared to be a storage-battery room. Huge glass tanks filled with amber-coloured fluid, in which numerous parallel plates were supported, lined the walls from floor to ceiling. An ammeter on the wall caught Bennie's attention. "Weston Direct Reading A. C. Ammeter," he read on the dial. Alternate current!
As he sat round the fire with Marc and Edouard on that last night, Nichicun spoke his mind of the Nascopees, and Marc translated freely for Bennie's edification. No, the injured Montagnais told them, the Nascopees were not nice; they were dirty. They ate decayed food and they never went to mass. Moreover, they were half-witted.
