"Ella, she act so funny, lately," she told Rose-Marie, "an' there is some feller; Bennie, he tell me that he have seen her wit' some feller! A rich feller, maybe; maybe he puts Ella up to her funny business!" There were sounds of activity from the inner room, as if clothing was being torn down from hooks as if heavy garments were being flung into bags.
Through the squalor and misery and degradation of her own life Bennie had somehow been kept unsullied, a thing apart. "H'm!" said judge Wheeling, and looked at Bennie. Bennie was standing beside his mother. He was very quiet, and his eyes were smiling up into those of the battered creature who was fighting for him. "I guess we'll have to take you out of this," the judge decided, abruptly.
And Bennie D. was always heavin' out little side remarks about Emeline's bein' fitted for better things than she was gettin', and how, when his invention was 'perfected, HE'D see that she didn't slave herself to death, and so on and so on.
Her comfortable picture of a home was vanishing vanishing as suddenly and completely as a soap bubble vanishes, if pricked by a pin. "Why why, Bennie!" she began. But the child was not listening. He had darted from her side and was dragging forward, by one listless, work-coarsened hand, a pallid, drooping woman. "Dis is my ma," he told Rose-Marie.
"Now then," said Bennie D., "perhaps you'll tell me what you mean by decoying my sister down here in my absence, when I was not present to protect her. What do you mean by it?" Seth stared at him uncomprehendingly. "Decoyin' her?" he repeated. "I never decoyed her. I've been here ever since I left left you and her that night. I never asked her to come.
She jumped through the gap, and crouched down behind the hedge. On came the squire, nearer and nearer, his square shoulders rising and falling with his horse's movement, his jolly brown face puckered with a frown of annoyance; no doubt he had been trying to find out the thieves. How strong he looked, how ready he would be to help her, how glad to know where Bennie was!
Bennie, following stealthily behind him, felt that he had found another friend something like his lady, only different! Rose-Marie was exceptionally weary that night. It had been a hard day. All three of her classes had met, and late in the afternoon she had made good her promise to wash Mrs. Volsky's hair.
Some transformation was happening in the hood of the tower. From a black opaque object it began to turn a dull red and to diffuse a subdued glow, while the hum turned into a distinct whir. Bennie became almost hysterical with excitement. Soon the hood of the tower had turned white and the glow had increased until the whole valley was lit up with a suffused and gentle light.
She had seen fear and, if she had stayed a few moments longer, she would have seen downright brutality. Her hand, reaching out, clutched Bennie's hand. "Dear," she said and realized, from the startled expression of his eyes, that he had not often been called "Dear," "is it always like that, in your home?" Bennie looked up into her eyes.
The amount of uranium decomposed in this experiment couldn't be detected by the most delicate balance small mass, but enormous velocity. See?" "Yes, I understand," answered Thornton. "It's the old, 'momentum equals mass times velocity, business we had in mechanics." "Of course this is only a toy experiment," Bennie continued.
