His eyes were fastened on mine, an inquiring, rather surprised look on his face, as if he was wondering at the bad manners of a man who would thrust himself ahead of a royal personage. For an instant the features were calm and impassive, then as he continued to look at me there flashed out of his eyes a search-light glance that shot straight through me. It was Bing!
Then followed a prayer of invocation by His Lordship the Bishop of Newfoundland and Bermuda and then, a dead silence and pause. Every one was waiting for our newly crowned King to put that stone into place.

You do not keep your eyes closed long, though something is about to happen you grow expectant, you wait, you listen, you hold your breath everything trembles with a delight that is half-pain, under the invigorating caress of the coming day. You breathe fast, and then you hold your breath and listen. You wait. You peer. You listen. Bing! A ray of pale yellow light shoots from horizon to zenith.
Yes, you jade, you shall be carted for bawd and conjurer, double-dyed in grain, and bing off to Bridewell, with every brass basin betwixt the Bar and Paul's beating before you, as if the devil were banging them with his beef-hook."

As press-agent of Binkley & Bing I had tried to keep her before the public.
Captain Wells sprang into the air. "My God, they've got a cannon!" Then there was a martial chorus the crack of rifle, the hoarse cough of horse-pistol, the roar of old muskets. "Bing! Bang! Boom! Bing bing! Bang bang! Boom boom! Bing bang boom!" Lieutenant Skaggs and his reserves heard the beat of running feet down the Gap.
It is possible that the interview might have lasted for hours had not Bing suddenly changed his tactics and begun to throw out dark hints about standing a dinner ashore, and settling it over a friendly glass.

If a man hasna' peace in his mind it'll mak' him nasty, an' we canna' allow sic a thing as a nasty polisman in this district!" "That's richt, Tam," said one of the younger men. "It would be a shame to see a woman an' twa-three weans sittin' withoot a fire an' a great big bing o' coal lyin' doon there at the pit. We maun try an' keep the polisman comfortable."
Today too sad thing happen, "Miss I Sterling fall ill, cannot to class room come, Dr. Ewing say cannot do work for many days, and ask Matron to send some good girl to help Nurse. Matron appoint me to go, I most happy to have honor, and because of this I can no more write at this time. To My Honorable Family, Bing Ang. Bing Ang. Your Most Miserable and Contemptible Child. Neuchang, China.
And Paris boulevards and a mysterious castle in the Austrian mountains, with a hidden treasure in dark, secret dungeons, and heavy iron armor; and then, bing! a brand-new prairie town in Saskatchewan or Dakota, with brand-new sunlight on the fresh pine shacks, and beyond the town the plains with brand-new grass rolling."
