He moved his foot backwards and forwards close to the indiarubber dog, and Binks, with his ears pricked up, and his head turning slightly as he followed the movement of his master's foot, waited. Shortly, he knew that this hereditary enemy of his would fly to one side of the room or the other. The great question was which?
Well, then, ye can't get it, that's all! Binks faced round upon the boys, who were trying to push past him and jump into the boat. 'Miss Theedory, she says, says she, "Binks, I looks to you to see arter that boat for me!" and with that she stepped up to the house, she and little missy, to see the mistress.
'Why, Jerry himself has just been up to the Vicarage to tell Mr. Vesey all about it, and But, wait a bit, I'll come up beside you and finish the story! and Geoff clambered up alongside of his brother. 'Whatever's that you're a-sayin' of, Muster Geoff? Binks, with spade in mid air, was open-mouthed. 'Jerry Blunt you remember old Jerry, Binks, don't you? He has come back from the North Pole.
"That sure is the devil, old son," he remarked. "Have you killed it for keeps. Bring it here. . . ." Binks laid it obediently at Vane's feet. "It should squeak," he explained to Joan as he picked it up, "mournfully and hideously." She came and stood beside him and together they regarded it gravely, while Binks, in a state of feverish anticipation, looked from one to the other.
It was useless for Alick to splutter and howl and threaten. Old Binks swung him, as though he were a kitten, over the edge of the pier, while Geoff fairly doubled up in a wild ecstasy of laughter. 'Tis this way I'll serve 'ee, if so be as you wants to, interfere wi' me doin' of my dooty, young sir! croaked out the sturdy old veteran. 'Let me down, I say, let me down!
You'll stand a better chance." Pause. "The fact is," said Lewisham slowly and looking at his boot toes, "I must be doing something while I am getting my degree." The assistant, whistled softly. "Might get you a visiting job, perhaps," said Mr. Blendershin speculatively. "Just read me those items again, Binks," He listened attentively. "Objects to religious teaching! Eh?"

Mrs. Binks did not know what "militate" meant, unless it might be something in connection with the church militant, of which she had heard a great deal; but she was not a mild-tempered woman, and she grew very red in the face at this reproof."
Long experience left no doubt as to what was happening, and when he saw Binks on his toes, circling round a gate on which a cat was spitting angrily, he called "Binks" sharply once, and walked on again. It was the greatest strain Binks was ever called on to face, but after a moment of indecision he obeyed as usual.
Sonning, I think to that ripping pub where the roses are. And then we'll go on the river for the whole day, and take Binks, and an invisible cage for the Blue Bird. . . . We'll take our food, and a bone for Binks and the squeaky dog. Then in the evening we'll have dinner at the White Hart, and Binks shall have a napkin and sit up at table. And then after dinner we'll come home.
