Excerpt from Advisory Ben: A Story
Ever Since I have known Ben - and her mother and I were playfellows half a century and more ago - she has been a mixture of factotum and oracle, yet without ever for a moment declining into a drudge or losing gaiety. A Cinderella perhaps; but a Cinderella who went to the ball without any supernatural assistance; a Cinderella with a laugh and a retort; a Cinderella who won respect and as much chocolate as She wanted, both from those within the home and out of it. I Not a few boxes, for instance, from my own hand.
