Edward Mills and George Benton rise as partners in life
Edward Mills and George Benton, half cousins, grow up orphans adopted by the Brants. Edward embodies the Brants ideal of virtue and steadiness while George becomes a troublesome, alcohol affected youth. When the Brants die, their will leaves property to George and a change in Edward’s role to guardian and partner, with George slipping into drink and trouble.

The Tempest of George Benton and Edward Mills
Mark Twain recounts the tragic arc of Edward Mills and George Benton. Benton, a once-reformed drunkard, fails again leading to forgery and murder at a bank. Mills, honest cashier, dies defending the bank’s combination from masked robbers after Benton’s crimes push him toward the gallows. The tale ends with public mourning, a memorial church funded by grateful donors, and Twain’s somber reflection on virtue and vice.
