"They're a pair of idiots," said Geoffrey, "though the General is not so bad, really.
You forget all about them, Binns."
"I may forgive but I never forget," said Mr. Binns sublimely.
"I see the statue's nearly finished, sir. Ah, he's a poor type,
a poor type. Fatty degeneration of the mind, I call it.
But when you think of her you can't wonder."
He made no further allusion to the scene, an the General
and his wife visited the studio no more. A few days later
the statue was ready to go to Market Clayford, where a plinth
already awaited it.
