Before we reached Hackton Castle, we had to drive through ten miles of the Lyndon estates, where the people were out to visit us, the church bells set a-ringing, the parson and the farmers assembled in their best by the roadside, and the school children and the labouring people were loud in their hurrahs for her Ladyship.
He was thrown violently on his back, and the tea poured over his face and drenched his hair as he lay sprawling on the floor. The steward saved himself by dropping the bread-tray and grasping the handle of the cabin door. So violent was the shock that the ship's bell was set a-ringing. "Beg pardon, gentlemen," cried the first mate, looking down the skylight. "I forgot to warn you.
I am not the man to thrust you back with one harsh word. Take off the bandage from your soul, and put on it the salve of the Saviour's compassion. There is rest in God for your tired soul. Many have come back from their wanderings. I see them coming now. Cry up the news to heaven! Set all the bells a-ringing! Under the high arch spread the banquet of rejoicing.
The door was opened almost immediately by a fat hall porter who scowled when he saw a girl instead of the footman of a fine lady in her chair. "What d'ye want? A-ringing the bell like that one would think you was my Lord Mayor." "I'm neither the Lord Mayor nor the Lady Mayoress, as your own eyes ought to tell you. I wish to see Mr. Gay."

The trembling of air in a big belfry where bells have been a-ringing represents best the effect, only it was a trifle sharper in quality keener, more alive. But, also, there was something more in it something gong-like and metallic, yet at the same time oddly and suspiciously human.
He was always a good boy till he got along with them poachers. 'Listen, he said, 'listen! There's bells a-ringing ringing in my head. Come you here, Paul Tregarva. He pulled Tregarva's face down to his own, and whispered, 'Them's the bells a-ringing for Miss Honor's wedding. Paul started and drew back.
"Mr. Fred Massingbird's dead. He can't keep Mr. Lionel out of his own any longer, and the bells is a-ringing for it." Unrestrained now, he sped away. Roy was not altogether in a state to stop him. He had turned of a glowing heat, and was asking himself whether the news could be true. Mrs. Roy stepped forward, her tears arrested. "Law, Roy, whatever shall you do?" spoke she deprecatingly.
