The world round me sleeps as I tarry, alone, soothing my ear with its quiet. How large and gray is the city of stone in which the many all hopes enthrone! Shall I, too, accept their fiat? Hark! Do the bells ring on the hillside? Back to the peace of the forest I turn in the nightly hour that's hoarest.
He laughed because the body of this woman, huddled in the mud, crushed to the earth, was a pleasing thing, because Fantômas was happy when he made human creatures suffer, when he tortured, when he wrought sweet vengeance.... Far away sounded the church bells.... The carillon was ringing.... Church bells were chiming through the night.
My physicians had done all in their power, without success and yet I lived! For my father's sake, the hearts of hundreds waited the issue, and prayed for me! For his sake, the bells in the neighborhood were tied the criers did not come within sound of the house nor was the sound of wheels heard upon the street. There was a death-like stillness without and within.
He certainly did not remember the look on her face strange, passive, appealing when suddenly one day she had yielded, and said that she would marry him. It had been one of those real devoted wooings which books and people praise, when the lover is at length rewarded for hammering the iron till it is malleable, and all must be happy ever after as the wedding bells.

I've got room for her in my buggy and room for her in any place that belongs to me," he hastened to reflect with a curious, bashful smile. "It's like a thing in a book," he murmured, as he neared the waiting people on the banks of Carillon, and the ringing of the vesper bells came out to him on the evening air.
From regions far beyond came the bells of the kine and the goats. He reached a little inn, and there took up his quarters. I am able to be a little minute in my description, because I have since visited the place myself. Great heights rise around it on all sides. It stands as between heaven and hell, suspended between peaks and gulfs.
"This afternoon, sor." "When did Greer stand watch?" "He's niver told anywan, sor; I think it must be a saycret." "Get to your cabin and turn in," directed Madden.
