"Look at poor little Bing puffin' about," said his neighbour, pointing to a weazened, hunchy waiter. "His asthma's awf'ly bad; you can hear him wheezin' from the street." He seemed amused. "There 's no such thing as moral asthma, I suppose?" said Shelton. His neighbour dropped his eyeglass. "Here, take this away; it's overdone;" said he. "Bring me some lamb."

That little word "bing!" appears also in his paintings, as little leaves or bits of tree-trunk, some small detail which, high-lightened, accents the whole.
