"It's very odd," said Travers, reflectively, as the dog recovered his proper level, "but I always thought that it was half the right ear that Bingo had lost." "So it is, isn't it?" said the colonel. "Left, eh? Well, I thought myself it was the right." My heart almost stopped with terror; I had altogether forgotten that. I hastened to set the point at rest.
In connexion with this expedition a noteworthy fact is that female chieftains were found ruling in the provinces of Suwo and Bingo.
The cattle were mine, the horses were my brother's, and in transferring his allegiance from the cow-stable to the horse-stable Bingo seemed to give me up too, and anything like daily companionship ceased, and yet, whenever any emergency arose Bingo turned to me and I to him, and both seemed to feel that the bond between man and dog is one that lasts as long as life.
Because," said Bingo, "the runner from Diamond Town evaporated that night." Saxham said, with his grim under-jaw thrust out: "Surely that circumstance, when reported to the Officer commanding the Garrison, might then have awakened his suspicions?" "Naturally," agreed Bingo, "and therefore he kept 'em dark.
"You're in a government office," cried Lilian, "and if you only chose, you could easily g-get g-government to find Bingo! What's the use of government if it can't do that? Mr. Travers would have found him long ago if I'd asked him!"
"Lady Grasby, that vitriol-tongued water-nymph, as somebody clever once called her, said that if Bingo got killed by any chance, I should sit down and write a gossipy descriptive article, dealing with his military career, married life, and last moments, before I ordered my widow's-weepers. Horrible things! They've come in again, too!
About fifty yards east of the Ritz there is one of those blighted tea-and-bun shops you see dotted about all over London, and into this, if you'll believe me, young Bingo dived like a homing rabbit; and before I had time to say a word we were wedged in at a table, on the brink of a silent pool of coffee left there by an early luncher.
Misled by a false friend, I entered Bingo, and early on the day fixed, the cow was driven to the prairie just outside of the village. When the time came she was pointed out to Bingo and the word given 'Go fetch the cow. It was the intention, of course, that he should bring her to me at the judge's stand. But the animals knew better. They hadn't rehearsed all summer for nothing.
He only wanted a tail to lash, she mentally said, and had pigeon-holed the joke for Bingo when it became none. "Do, please, forgive me!... What you must think of me!..." she began contritely. Repentance gave place to resentment. Saxham, without even an abrupt inclination of the head, had swung about and left her.
"Misses her Doctor, no doubt," thought Lady Hannah, as she commended the country eggs and butter, and was enthusiastic over the thyme-scented Welsh mountain-honey, and apologetic over the absence of her Bingo from the board. She would carry her nuisance his breakfast with her own hands, she vowed, as he had left his man behind, on hearing from the Doctor that the house was a small one.
