1 The bell rang gently as he spoke.
2 At length he stopped, and rang the bell violently.
3 Eight o clock, Bill, said Nancy, when the bell ceased.
4 A knell from the church bell broke harshly on these youthful thoughts.
5 These words, in plain English, conveyed an injunction to ring the bell.
6 Nancy stooped below the shutters, and Oliver heard the sound of a bell.
7 It was Sunday night, and the bell of the nearest church struck the hour.
8 The bell was rung again, with some impatience, while the party were in darkness.
9 'There is somebody else who should not be forgotten, by the bye,' said Mr. Brownlow, ringing the bell.
10 The stranger smiled, and nodded his head again: as much to say, he had not mistaken his man; then rang the bell.
11 Then came the loud ringing of a bell, mingled with the noise of fire-arms, and the shouts of men, and the sensation of being carried over uneven ground at a rapid pace.
12 There was little to be made out, in the mist and darkness; but the loud shouting of men vibrated through the air, and the barking of the neighbouring dogs, roused by the sound of the alarm bell, resounded in every direction.
13 A large flat box was fetched out of the gig; and a bedroom bell was rung very often; and the servants ran up and down stairs perpetually; from which tokens it was justly concluded that something important was going on above.
14 But his heart was heavy, notwithstanding; and he wished, as he crept into his narrow bed, that that were his coffin, and that he could be lain in a calm and lasting sleep in the churchyard ground, with the tall grass waving gently above his head, and the sound of the old deep bell to soothe him in his sleep.
