He, like the other poor man with two charmers, sometimes wished there was only one of them. But Lily was a born coquette, and jealous at that. She had a way of calling back her admirers, while Dele didn't care a bit for admiration, but just wanted a good time. Benny Frank was something of a bookworm and student.
"Well, I'm not azackly in a condition to step down not for a minute or two; and I doubt Mrs Bowldler, if I called her, wouldn' be in no condition either. . . . 'Twould be friendly of you to ask Mr Benny in and offer him a drink; and as for missy " "No thank 'ee, Cap'n," interposed Mr Benny.
He turned to Bennington Cole. "I feel rather proud of my success in this establishment, Benny. A year ago Isabel would have handed you out nothing except a couple of anemic sugar wafers with the cup; now you can get English muffins and all kinds of sandwiches and éclairs which is at least a little better." "Congratulate you," said Cole, with a laugh. "Oh, I haven't finished," Wilkinson went on.
It didn't matter what the newcomers might have been. That was left beyond the reservation gate. One's standing was measured by what he could do and what kind of neighbor he would make. And always the question, "Where you from?" Missouri, Michigan, Wisconsin. Bronco Benny, riding through one day, said, "I never seen so many gals in my life. Must be a trainload of 'em.
It would be terrible for us if the wind broke ours. "I'll hurry ahead with Benny and Alexix," the father said. "Remi can come on with Etiennette and Lise." They rushed off. Etiennette and I followed more slowly with Lise. No one laughed now. The sky grew darker. The storm was coming quickly.
"You better guess again," drawled the boy, returning to his place and taking possession of the ropes. "I've got to take care of Miss Edna." "Oh, Benny," said the girl gently, "you know this is Mr. Dunham's vacation." "Hadn't ought to work in his vacation," returned Benny doggedly. John was standing undecidedly looking down at him. There was an evident and large thunder cloud across Benny's brow.
"I will, however, call again, after you have thought of it more calmly," said Mr. King. "Good morning, sir; good morning, madam." His salutations were silently returned with cold, stiff bows. A second and third attempt was made with no better success. Tulee grew very uneasy. "They'll sell my Benny," said she. "Ye see they ain't got any heart, 'cause they's used to selling picaninnies."
He says he saw her go out between Chemistry Hall and the Boys' Gym. about an hour ago. She must have gone right after she left the meeting. Nobody seems to have seen her since. Nobody but Benny knows anything about her going to the woods and I gave him some money and told him not to say anything about it if anyone asked. I was just going to hunt her " "That's all right, kid!
Benny alone, for a brief period, appeared nervous. She wondered what he was doing; he had rolled back his coat-sleeve; he was jabbing at his bare forearm with something which now and then caught and reflected the firelight. After a long time she heard a long sigh from Benny; he pulled down his coat-sleeve. The others laughed again.
"It's the very first day I could come over, my dear," she said hurriedly, "what with home cares and a rough sea; I'm not the best of sailors, but I've thought of you often. Now Benny," turning to him, "I'll be back at this very spot in one hour. I shan't fail, understand, so don't sail off anywhere, or else we shan't reach home in time for tea.
