In
his
senior
year
he
did
not
make
the
team
at
all
.
He
had
grown
so
slight
and
frail
that
one
day
he
was
taken
by
some
sophomores
for
a
freshman
,
an
incident
which
humiliated
him
terribly
.
He
became
known
as
something
of
a
prodigy
--
a
senior
who
was
surely
no
more
than
sixteen
--
and
he
was
often
shocked
at
the
worldliness
of
some
of
his
classmates
.
His
studies
seemed
harder
to
him
--
he
felt
that
they
were
too
advanced
.
He
had
heard
his
classmates
speak
of
St.
Midas
's
,
the
famous
preparatory
school
,
at
which
so
many
of
them
had
prepared
for
college
,
and
he
determined
after
his
graduation
to
enter
himself
at
St.
Midas
's
,
where
the
sheltered
life
among
boys
his
own
size
would
be
more
congenial
to
him
.
Upon
his
graduation
in
1914
he
went
home
to
Baltimore
with
his
Harvard
diploma
in
his
pocket
.
Hildegarde
was
now
residing
in
Italy
,
so
Benjamin
went
to
live
with
his
son
,
Roscoe
.
But
though
he
was
welcomed
in
a
general
way
there
was
obviously
no
heartiness
in
Roscoe
's
feeling
toward
him
--
there
was
even
perceptible
a
tendency
on
his
son
's
part
to
think
that
Benjamin
,
as
he
moped
about
the
house
in
adolescent
mooniness
,
was
somewhat
in
the
way
.
Roscoe
was
married
now
and
prominent
in
Baltimore
life
,
and
he
wanted
no
scandal
to
creep
out
in
connection
with
his
family
.
Benjamin
,
no
longer
persona
grata
with
the
débutantes
and
younger
college
set
,
found
himself
left
much
done
,
except
for
the
companionship
of
three
or
four
fifteen-year-old
boys
in
the
neighbourhood
.
His
idea
of
going
to
St.
Midas
's
school
recurred
to
him
.
"
Say
,
"
he
said
to
Roscoe
one
day
,
"
I
've
told
you
over
and
over
that
I
want
to
go
to
prep
,
school
.
"
"
Well
,
go
,
then
,
"
replied
Roscoe
shortly
.
The
matter
was
distasteful
to
him
,
and
he
wished
to
avoid
a
discussion
.
"
I
ca
n't
go
alone
,
"
said
Benjamin
helplessly
.
"
You
'll
have
to
enter
me
and
take
me
up
there
.
"
"
I
have
n't
got
time
,
"
declared
Roscoe
abruptly
.
His
eyes
narrowed
and
he
looked
uneasily
at
his
father
.
"
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
"
he
added
,
"
you
'd
better
not
go
on
with
this
business
much
longer
.
You
better
pull
up
short
.
You
better
--
you
better
"
--
he
paused
and
his
face
crimsoned
as
he
sought
for
words
--
"
you
better
turn
right
around
and
start
back
the
other
way
.
This
has
gone
too
far
to
be
a
joke
.
It
is
n't
funny
any
longer
.
You
--
you
behave
yourself
!
"
Benjamin
looked
at
him
,
on
the
verge
of
tears
.
