Some years before, in the Bingo days, I had been a wolf-hunter, but my occupations since then had been of another sort, chaining me to stool and desk.
I don't know that I didn't reduce the holding capacity of this house by a storey there's a pun for you! so as to engineer my hated rival being left at home in Wilton Place. Is that lovely murrey-coloured stuff in the cut-glass jar quince marmalade? No! I won't pamper Bingo, if he is the idol of my soul. And please don't wait for me.
When I was going home, Miss Sichliffe came up to me in the twilight, the pup on a leash, swinging her big shoes at the end of her tennis-racket. ''Sorry, she said in her thick schoolboy-like voice. 'I'm sorry for what I said to you about verifying quotations. I didn't know you well enough and anyhow, I oughtn't to have. 'But you were quite right about Little Bingo, I answered.
And yet when, long afterward, I told this to one skilled in the occult, he looked grave, and said, "Bingo always turned to you in a crisis?" "Yes." "Then do not smile. It was you that were in danger that day; he stayed and saved your life, though you never knew from what." Early in the spring I bad begun Bingo's education. Very shortly afterward he began mine.
And sometimes on an evening you will see automobiles going down the block with family parties on their way for a spin along the Benson road where the Clanton boys, Frank Stilwell, John Bingo, and the other bad men used to rob the stages in daytime.
The envelope of the bogus letter brought by the supposed runner from Diamond Town had been addressed in a big bold black round hand with curiously malformed capitals, to "Mr. BARNEY CASEY, "Commercial Traveller, "Gueldersdorp. "Care of the Officer Commanding H.M. Forces" " Don't put it back in the envelope," said Major Bingo. "Compare the writin' with No. 2."
The other man he knew to be Bingo, the only English sailor aboard a shrewd and rat-faced little Cockney. "Blime me, Bug-eye! but wot Hi sye Hi means. The devil 'imself's near where there's so much brimstone. If that hull bloomin' 'ill blows hup, where'll we be, Hi axes ye?" "Jest here or hereabouts," growled Ditty. Drew stepped nearer and frankly listened to the conversation.
"The cravat! The gent's neckwear! Why? For what reason?" "Oh, the tie?" He blushed. "I er I was given it." He seemed embarrassed, so I dropped the subject. We toddled along a bit, and sat down on a couple of chairs by the Serpentine. "Jeeves tells me you want to talk to me about something," I said. "Eh?" said Bingo, with a start. "Oh yes, yes. Yes."
I studied the dreaded track and learned that in Bingo's language the half-terrified, deep-gurgled 'grr-wff' means 'timber wolf. These were among the things that Bingo taught me.
Captain Bingo tries to say something more, but makes a hash of it; and with eyes that fairly run over, can only grip the kindly hand again and again, assuring its owner, with numerous references to the Living Tinker, that he is the most thundering brick on earth. Then, overthrowing the small table and one of the chairs, he plunges down the narrow iron stairway to get into what he calls his kit.
