## Snapshot

A friend whose comfortable carriages are remembered with regret when the road turns rough, Mr. Benett belongs to the comfortable circle around Sylvius Hogg's Norwegian travels.

## Who they are

Mr. Benett is a friend and confidant whose well-appointed carriages are recalled enviously when Sylvius Hogg and his young companions must endure the jolting national karjol over Telemark's roads. He moves in the same comfortable, respectable orbit as the professor, part of the network of acquaintances that gives the story its warm social texture. His presence helps establish the ordinary, settled world against which the drama of Ole Kamp's disappearance and the lottery ticket plays out.
