"Say, he'd like it great, wouldn't he? But, pa, you didn't tell me yet if you liked the money." The man stirred, as if waking from a trance. He threw his arm around Benny's shoulders. "Like it? Why, of course, I like it, Benny, my boy! Why, I'm going to have time now to get acquainted with my children!" Across the room Mr.
Haley had the only other key besides the janitor, who air Massey and them others goin' to blame for the robbery?" "They air detarmined to save their own hides if possible," Uncle Jason grumbled. "Natcherly natcherly," returned Walky. "We know well enough none o' them four men of the School Committee took the coins, nor Benny Thread, neither.
"Who was it, Benny?" "Ham Spink." "Ham Spink!" cried Snap and Shep in concert. "Yes." "Why, he isn't here," said Whopper. "He just came up, threw one snowball, and ran away. I guess he meant to hit somebody else and the snowball hit Mr. Felps instead," went on the small boy. "Don't let him know I told you, or he'll wax me good for it." "I shan't tell Ham," said Snap.
"I know they don't tell things straight, but I don't believe they know it, and I don't see why you can't come home, and insist upon your rights, and not work so hard." "If I come home now it will be as it was before," said Annie. "Can't you stand up for yourself and not have it the same?" Annie shook her head. "Seems as if you could," said Benny.
Then we went back to the field-hospital and had a look in, she explaining on the way how she had mortgaged her home, so as to come and look after Benny. I guess the hospital must have appeared kind of cheerless, for lots of the wounded were lying on the bare ground, and it was a caution the way some of them groaned and groaned.
It was not because Benny was afraid. But he was a peace-loving boy and he thought fighting brutal and vulgar. His books were such a delight. He liked to go in and talk to Mr. Theodore, as they all called the eldest Whitney son. Mr. Theodore in his newspaper capacity had found out so many queer things about old New York, they really called New York that in early 1800.
The contest this time was a moment more prolonged; but again Benny Ellison felt his feet going from under him, and again he went down but this time harder to the ground. He lay for a moment, with the breath knocked out of him. "Want another?" inquired Henry Burns, calmly. He had not even offered to strike a blow.
Then she conquered her own love and pity, even as her brother was conquering his sloth. She understood clearly that it was better for Benny to go on with his task even if he did cut himself. The grass was laid low when she went home, and Benny stood, a conqueror in a battle-field of summer, leaning on his scythe. "Only look, Annie," he cried out, like a child. "I have cut all the grass."
At once, precisely as he wished he had let her alone, he hoped and quite as fervently that she had covered her tracks, that there would be no trial, nothing but inept conjectures and that forgetfulness in which all things, good and bad, lose their way. The futility of wishing passed. The time for action had come. He motioned. "Is Benny here?" "He left this noon, sir." "Did he say anything?"
He was careful, however, not to duplicate anything that Benny Turton did, for he did not want to "crab" the act of his friend. But Joe's fire and water act was one of the big features on the circus bill. "Is this the sensation you were speaking of?" asked Helen one day, when they had concluded an afternoon's performance. "No," answered Joe. "This only came about by accident.
