I could have asked the bell-ringer for his blessing, good, sedate old man, who swung the rope so gently to the time of his meditations.
The listeners looked at each other in astonishment, as though these words were an illuminating flash. They were doubtful for a moment as though frightened, and then the faith of conviction illuminated their faces. "It is true," said the bell-ringer in a gloomy tone.
The Tato, in the fits of rage of a bullying coxcomb, proposed to behead all the canons in the choir some evening and then to set fire to the Cathedral. And the bell-ringer, gloomy and scowling, said aloud, following up the course of his thoughts: "And below so much wealth that is of no use to anybody amassed from pure pride thieves! robbers!" Gabriel returned to pass his days by Sagrario's side.
It was a beautiful letter, and it told the truth too. The very idea of going away again made me ill. So we waited from day to day Aunt Grédel, Father Goulden, Catherine, and I, for the answer from the minister. I cannot describe the impatience I felt when the postman Brainstein, the son of the bell-ringer, came into the street.
The supper gong boomed inside the hotel and Harkless bade the bell-ringer good-night. As he moved away the latter called after him: "He don't disturb nobody. Let him talk. Who pays any 'tention to him I'd like to know?" There was a burst of laughter from the whittlers.
The bell-ringer still went on tolling the bell, so Sztolarik called up to him: "Stop tolling, you fool, can't you? Show us which way the Srankós' maize-field lies." The bell-ringer pointed to the right. "You run on in front, Gyuri, and try and get out of her what is the matter with her."
Therefore, calling myself home, I have now enjoyed myself; whereof likewise I desire to make the world partaker." To Lord Salisbury, in a note of elaborate compliment, he describes his purpose by an image which he repeats more than once. "I shall content myself to awake better spirits, like a bell-ringer, which is first up to call others to church."
You are also waited on by the milkman, who, you are glad to see, is really flesh and blood, and not, as you have sometimes supposed, an unearthly bell-ringer who visited this sublunary sphere only at five A.M., and then for the sole purpose of disturbing your morning nap.
It told me it could never forget it had been baptized a Catholic; and it pined for the beggar who rang it in the land of fan-leaved chestnuts! It would growl and strangle as much as possible in the hands of Benjamin Beals, the bell-ringer and coffin-maker of Barmouth. Except in the morning when it called me up, I was glad to hear it.
Sometimes in the evenings, when the services were ended and the Cathedral was locked up, Gabriel would go up to the abode of the bell-ringer, stopping on the gallery above the door del Perdon.
