Cardinal No. 3, a Frenchman, bore a Bayonne ham, and exhibited the same disgust as Benno on seeing himself forestalled. So far as his requests transpired they were moderate, but no one knows where he would have stopped if he had not been scared by the advent of Cardinal No. 4.
He paid a great deal of attention to his clothes, and was proud of his handsome face. After repeated conversations with the seventeen-year-old boy, Jordan decided to get him a job as a clerk in the offices of the Prudentia. He discussed the situation with the general agent, and Alfons Diruf gave his consent. Benno began his work at fifty marks a month.
It was rare that he came in contact with Jordan, for now that he was no longer with the Prudentia, it was hard to locate him: he was doing odd jobs for a number of concerns, and this kept him more or less on the go. Benno came home after office hours, only to betake himself to his room, where he shaved and made himself as elegant-looking as possible for the social engagements of the evening.
He heard the street door open and close; he heard some one enter. It was Benno. Jordan thought that his son would come in, for he must have seen the light through the crack of the door. But Benno evidently had no desire to see his father. He went to his room at the other end of the hall, and closed the door behind him just as if he were a servant.
It rose higher and higher, and at last settled on a palmtree close to her window. She had never seen such a bird before, and thought it could not possibly be a usual one, for a little gold chain was fastened to its foot, and its tail seemed made of sunbeams instead of feathers. It must be Benno, the bird of Ra!
Benno relates that, coming one day from his Alban villa, he found, just as he was entering the church of the Lateran, that he had left behind him his magical book, which he was ascustomed to carry about his person. He immediately sent two trusty servants to fetch it, at the same time threatening them most fearfully if they should attempt to look into the volume.
“I always feared that we might be proceeding too precipitately,” said another. “It is written, ‘the devils believe,’” said a third: “the Holy Father, therefore, is not a heretic at any rate.” “Brethren,” said Anno, “this affair, as our brother Benno well remarks, doth indeed call for mature deliberation.
No, she was not at home: she had gone on a visit with Frau Rübsam over to Pommersfelden, and planned to stay there for a few weeks. “Well, I’ll have to be hurrying along,” said Benno, “my fraternity brothers are waiting for me.” “Good gracious! Do you have fraternity brothers too?” “Of course! They are the spice of my life! We have a holiday to-day: The King’s funeral.
Her father had no money in the bank; his employer had lost confidence in him because he could no longer exert himself; what he needed most of all was a rest. She entered the room with a friendly expression on her face, and remarked quite vivaciously: “Now, Father, we will wait and see what Benno has to say; and in order that you may not worry so much, I will read something nice to you.”
Here we are: 'County at large. Now then, in my private notes: 'Allessandro' uncommon name 'look up probably Greek. 'Alaric, Altemus, Artemas, Benno, Borl, Bud derived from Budlongor, Budmeister Buck' I've got it: 'Buckingham, last name Tolliver, residence: Millville, occupation none. Hold on. We've got the clew now for the town record."
