   Terry the rat got his name from the fact that his father had power to shift rats from one place to another. This was called billeting of rats. The condition was that they would have to be sent to a place where they were assured of plenty. The leading rat would go off before the main drove bearing a billet given by the person who had power to shift them with him in his mouth.
