They respected a possible baronet in the boy, between whom and the title there was only the little sickly pale Pitt Binkie. The children were very good friends. Pitt Binkie was too little a dog for such a big dog as Rawdon to play with; and Matilda being only a girl, of course not fit companion for a young gentleman who was near eight years old, and going into jackets very soon.
'Sounding, sounding the Ganges, floating down with the tide, Moore me close to Charnock, next to my nut-brown bride. My blessing to Kate at Fairlight Holwell, my thanks to you; Steady! We steer for heaven, through sand-drifts cold and blue. 'Now what is there in that nonsense to make a man restless? said Dick, hauling Binkie from his feet to his chest. 'It depends on the man, said Torpenhow.
Out of his waistcoat, as usual, grows a tree, on the main branches of which the above illustrious names are inscribed. Sir Pitt was first married to Grizzel, sixth daughter of Mungo Binkie, Lord Binkie, and cousin, in consequence, of Mr. Dundas.
"The Nilghai surrounded while bathing by the Mahdieh" that was founded on fact, eh? 'It was very nearly my last bath, you irreverent dauber. Has Binkie come into the Saga yet? 'No; the Binkie-boy hasn't done anything except eat and kill cats. Let's see. Here you are as a stained-glass saint in a church.
'I've liberated my mind, estimable Binkie, with the feathers in his mouth. Dick picked up the still indignant one and shook him tenderly. 'You're tied up in a sack and made to run about blind, Binkie-wee, without any reason, and it has hurt your little feelings. Never mind. Sic volo, sic jubeo, stet pro ratione voluntas, and don't sneeze in my eye because I talk Latin. Good-night.
You're going to Brighton, or Scarborough, or Prawle Point, to see the ships go by. And you're going at once. Isn't it odd? I'll take care of Binkie, but out you go immediately. Never resist the devil. He holds the bank. Fly from him. Pack your things and go. 'I believe you're right. Where shall I go? 'And you call yourself a special correspondent! Pack first and inquire afterwards.
He forgot Maisie, Torpenhow, and Binkie at his feet, but remembered to stir Bessie, who needed very little stirring, into a tremendous rage, that he might watch the smouldering lights in her eyes. He threw himself without reservation into his work, and did not think of the doom that was to overtake him, for he was possessed with his notion, and the things of this world had no power upon him.
You're an omen. Come here. Binkie swung head downward for a moment without speaking. 'Rather like holding a guinea-pig; but you're a brave little dog, and you don't yelp when you're hung up. It is an omen. Binkie went to his own chair, and as often as he looked saw Dick walking up and down, rubbing his hands and chuckling.
Once or twice he said something to Binkie about 'hermaphroditic futilities, but the little dog received so many confidences both from Torpenhow and Dick that he did not trouble his tulip-ears to listen. Dick was permitted to see the girls off. They were going by the Dover night-boat; and they hoped to return in August. It was then February, and Dick felt that he was being hardly used.
I like your face, Lady Jane: it's got none of the damned high-boned Binkie look in it; and I'll give ee something pretty, my dear, to go to Court in." And he shuffled across the room to a cupboard, from which he took a little old case containing jewels of some value. "Take that," said he, "my dear; it belonged to my mother, and afterwards to the first Lady Binkie.
