WWII leader Mussolini

Usage examples of benito.

The last week Benito had escorted him to choice taverns and nightspots but the boy seemed to have some degree of caution about wine.

But she was grateful, even if all it meant was that the Doge was trying to get Benito Valdosta, of the CasaVecchie Valdosta, away from the canals and a certain boat-girl who might try to exercise a hold over him.

Grabbing cloth, as the cudgel went flying harmlessly, Benito pushed the sailor over his outstretched foot.

As the former-cudgel-wielder fell, Benito stepped forward, planting a boot firmly in the thug's solar plexus.

He, Benito, had a fairly well-deserved reputation for being a thief and trouble, and a pack follower of the assassin Caesare Aldanto, until almost the last.

Until, in one night and day, Aldanto's evil nature had surfaced and Benito and Maria had wound up becoming lovers themselves.

Like it or not, Benito had to admit he'd modeled himself on Caesare Aldanto.

And, unless Benito misread the signs, by th e vacant-space-to-let smile his brother wore these days, she hadn't waited for the marriage banns to share Marco's bed.

Still, Benito didn't enjoy this sort of thing either, and he was damned if he'd make it too easy for Marco.

Marco's loyalty touched him as nothing else, and when they walked into Petro Dorma's office, and Benito saw Angelina already there, looking ready for a five-star tantrum, he realized his brother might actually be the one who needed help, this time.

Even if Benito had not spent much time with the old man since he'd been eight years old.

For the second time that day, Benito felt something hit him with a distinct sense of shock, hit him in a way that made him grow very cold for a moment.

Manfred had been properly introduced to young Benito Valdosta as Dorma's ward after Venice had been rescued, but now, suddenly, the connection made itself clear.

So the last set of plans he'd made with the rascal were that they were off to a place Benito had found—good Sicilian music and some dancers that, according to young Benito, could make the tassels on their boobs do amazing things.
