Stuff for story-books, and not for Vandemark Township; though when I saw the thing, it was not so very different from the dances and "sings" we used to have on the boats of the Grand Canal, as the Erie Ditch was then called when you wanted to put on a little style. The party was at the "great Gothic house" of Governor Wade, just finished, over in Benton Township.
Usually brides do not look their best, but Letty was the most charming, radiant, bewildering creature and so absurdly young as though suddenly she had dropped a few years and was again beginning that girlhood which I sometimes thought she had never had. "Dr. Benton is a darling. He looks twenty years younger and wears a monocle!
Then Benton continued: "Sharp, here, is a writin' fellow, and knows what's what every time. In the jerk of a lamb's tail he'll draw up a paper which'll explain what you promise, and you've got strength enough to sign your name to it. The minute you do that I'm off for Kimball, and I'll fetch him up here fast as horses can travel if I have to carry him on my back!" "Quick! The paper!

By night they are seized by the furies. They fight among themselves while being plundered and murdered by Benton's wolves. Heroic by day hellish by night.... And so, spirit or what they set the pace." Next afternoon, when parasitic Benton awoke, it found the girl Ruby dead in her bed. Her door had to be forced. She had not been murdered. She had destroyed much of the contents of a trunk.
Clara looked up at the dark, clear eye and delicate, fixed lips before her, and sighed involuntarily. Beulah knelt on the carpet, and, throwing one arm around her companion, said earnestly: "My dear Clara, what saddens you to-night? Can't you tell me?" A hasty knock at the door gave no time for an answer. A servant looked in. "Is Miss Beulah Benton here?

"What was you saying about Grand Island, Jack?" inquired Henry Burns, slyly. "Grand Island be hanged!" said Harvey. "When I start for there, I'll go in a boat that's got a cabin. I guess Benton will do for us." They looked about for shelter, but there were woods now on both sides of the stream, and through them they could get no glimpse of any farmhouse.
Charman, our family solicitor, says that it is perfectly in order. The will was made in Paris two years before his death. He went over there on some financial business."
