In a little while, with patience, we shall be able to hear the scale-tones in any order we may choose to think them. That power will be a fine help forever after we must be sure to get it in the first days. Whenever we hear two tones we should try to find them on the piano. This will make us listen more attentively to the tone sounded by the clock, the church-bell, the bird, the drinking-glass.
"But surely not as seriously and solemnly as Pauline and her lover?" "Heaven forbid! I really believe they would ring the church-bell when they embrace each other, if it were only proper. Oh, it is true, my friend, man is naturally a serious animal. We must work against this shameful and abominable propensity with all our strength, and attack it from all sides.
Bouvard smoked a pipe, and Pécuchet took a pinch of snuff, which they declared to be the best they had ever had in their whole lives. Then they went to the window to observe the landscape. In front of them lay the fields, with a barn and the church-bell at the right and a screen of poplars at the left. Two principal walks, forming a cross, divided the garden into four parts.
The flowering shrubs and the neatly-disposed plants were basking in the abundant light and warmth; the transparent shade of the great elms they were magnificent trees seemed to thicken by the hour; and the intensely habitual stillness offered a submissive medium to the sound of a distant church-bell.

They knew already the beastliness of life in trenches. They had no illusions about "glory."
Next day, while they were at dinner, they heard under the beech trees the beating of a drum. Germaine ran out to know what was the matter, but the man was by this time some distance away. Almost at the same moment the church-bell rang violently. Bouvard and Pécuchet felt alarmed, and, impatient to learn what had happened, they rushed bareheaded along the Chavignolles road.
The soldiers paused on their march; a feeling of religion, mingled with borne-tenderness, overpowered their rude hearts; each seemed to hear the clangor of the old church-bell, which had been familiar to hint from infancy, and had tolled at the funerals of all his forefathers.
Lay that truth to your heart, friend, now before the bell stops ringing; recall it every time you hear the church-bell ring again. And oh, Tom, you have such a noble nature! "I I! don't jeer me, don't."
'Oh! said the Courtiers, 'now we have found her! What a wonderful power for such a small beast to have! I am sure we have heard her before! 'No; that is a cow mooing! said the little kitchenmaid. 'We are still a long way off! Then the frogs began to croak in the marsh. 'Splendid! said the Chinese chaplain. 'Now we hear her; it sounds like a little church-bell!
