Look here, Danny, I thought you said Benson's ankle was all right?" "So I did! And so it was all right!" sputtered Danny. "But I didn't say he could go out an' play on a field like that to-day, did I?" "All right. It can't be helped now. Where's Captain Miller?" Danny bent his head backward toward the rubbing room. "In there," he answered shortly. "Heard about Benson?" asked the coach.
Major N. E. Young, D.S.O., Royal Field Artillery, sends the report to the Commander-in-Chief of Boer cruelty to the officers and men wounded in the action with Colonel Benson's column at Brakenlaagte. It is dated Pretoria, November 7, and Lord Kitchener's covering letter is dated November 9.
Being careful and troubled about many things, Lidgerwood missed the point of Benson's remark; could not remember, when he tried, just what it was that he had been saying to Gridley when the interruption came. But the matter was easily dismissed. Having his two chief lieutenants before him, the superintendent seized the opportunity to outline the plan of campaign for the night.
The following day, Lucy in Benson's charge paid her duty to the Sophocles of the Lateran Museum, and, armed with certain books lent her by Manisty, went wandering among the art and inscriptions of Christian Rome.
I ain't afraid any more of not gettin' work in the country. I was at first, but I didn't tell you. Just the same I was dead leery when we pulled out on the San Leandro pike. An' here, already, is two places open Mrs. Mortimer's an' Benson's; an' steady jobs, too. Yep, a man can get work in the country." "Ah," Saxon amended, with a proud little smile, "you haven't said it right.
The king at once held a Court; the horns and tail of the monster were exhibited amidst general interest, and Benson and the prince were invited to state their claims. Benson's evidence was taken first. He declined to say exactly where or how he killed the Firedrake. There might be more of them left, he remarked, young ones, that would take a lot of killing, and he refused to part with his secret.
"A laughter in the diamond air, a music in the trembling grass." Such volumes of Benson's essays as From a College Window , Beside Still Waters , and Thy Rod and Thy Staff have strengthened faith and proved a tonic to many. Chesterton is a suggestive and stimulating essayist in spite of the fact that he often bombards his readers with too much paradox.
There was, in truth, a goodly inpouring of people, and fully a dozen of these new-corners seemed to be trying to talk at the same time. "Perhaps they're coming to make a row about having so much gun-cotton stored close to the village," hinted Lieutenant Danvers. The same thought was in Captain Jack Benson's mind.
Benson's "dilemma" is, to say the least, overstated; but were that dilemma as desperate as he depicts it, it has strangely escaped him that his suggested mode of extrication is more desperate still.
Yet the boat, when it struck the water, was something more than a quarter of a mile away from the spot where the young woman and her brother had fallen overboard. "Why don't some of the champion swimmers of the class go overboard to Mr. Benson's assistance?" rang Ensign Trahern's voice, sternly. Apparently that was all the middies were waiting for.
