Why does Toby want her christened? What is his motive?

To stop Carol Tregorran rendering her down for flying-ointment?

Presumably to keep in Daddy’s will good books.
Though of course the real reason is the anticipation of Jill having kittens; cue interminable repeats of “Gran, there’s something I want to say” plotus interruptus. In the end it’ll be nothing and the reason for Dullen’s introduction is finally made clear; Jill has now learned to move on

I dislike people being deliberately nasty to other people for no particular reason; Pip’s malicious unpleasantness to her grandmother and to her brothers is the reason I think her an odious character.

He wants an occasion that implies he and Pip are a couple and this is because he took Robin’s advice to heart: marry that girl. After all, the first or perhaps second thing Toby observed when he met her was that Pip came with a farm attached. Moving his stuff in, doing Pip’s bidding … my prediction is that a proposal is in the offing.

…on her bike? Perhaps she has a ladies bike, that is a bike for a lady! Not one of those awful man’s bikes with the big, round, ugly tube thingy coming out from the front of the saddle, but a lady’s bike! …or a cargo bike?
