Next BINGY escorts His dear wife, to our thoughts Never lost, though withdrawn from our vision, While of late she has shown That of spirit alone Was not fashioned that fair composition. No, if humour we count, The original fount Must to HUGO be ceded in freehold, Tho' of equal supplies In more subtle disguise Old GODFREY has far from a wee hold!
I've heerd my aunt say as she found out as summat was wrong wi' Nancy as soon as th' milk turned bingy, for there ne'er had been such a clean lass about her milk-cans afore that; and from bad it grew to worse, and she would sit and do nothing but play wi' her fingers fro' morn till night, and if they asked her what ailed her, she just said, "He once was here;" and if they bid her go about her work, it were a' the same.

The milk, too, was often "bingy," to use a country expression for a kind of taint that is far worse than sourness, and suggests the idea that it is caused by want of cleanliness about the milk pans, rather than by the heat of the weather. On Saturdays, a kind of pie, or mixture of potatoes and meat, was served up, which was made of all the fragments accumulated during the week.
"So boss," began the ruffian, not looking at him, "we ain't fit company for the likes of that kinchin, eh?" "You're not fit company for any man except the hangman," said Tom, looking more like six-foot-six than six-foot-three. Don't you fret your bingy; boss; he'll be as good a man as his father yet." For an instant a dark shadow passed over Tom's face.
The word had gone 'round that "old Bingy" was to get the sack, and every one was saying to himself that if they discharged a man like Bingle for being late it wouldn't be safe for any one to transgress for even the tiniest fraction of an instant. Half-way down the narrow aisle leading to the offices, Mr. Bingle stopped to wipe his brow and to pull himself together for the coming ordeal.
