Ben Flaherty is one of Olivia Flaversham’s best friends, a title he is quite proud of. A friendly young chap, he is kind & polite to everyone he meets, with a cheery personality to match. Ben is also a vivacious youth, especially when it comes to his hobbies, & when he dances, it is a sheer delight to see him in the act, for he dances with the utmost passion that burns within him like a flame.
A dreamer & a thinker, little Ben’s mind is filled with blind optimism; he is an idealist, a hopeless daydreamer, & an incurable romantic, longing for “happily ever afters” everywhere he steps; he watches the world with rose-tinted glasses & a pleasant smile. Though not one of the bravest members of the Circle Of Friends, Ben is no coward, ever willing to fight for the safety of his dear pals when he plucks up the courage that runs in his Irish blood.
Ben Flaherty is a nice little boy, & may be approached without caution.
