Appleton felt to the real green turtle soup set before him, when he said that it was almost as good as mock. The entertainment on this occasion was of the most varied character. The programme makes the following announcement: Friday, 4 July, 18-. At 8 P. M. the Doors will Open. Mr. Haweis will receive his Friends. The Royal Handbell Ringers will Ring. The Fish-pond will be Fished.
He was cut short by a sudden crash of something overhead, and a bump, followed by a squall of unwonted vehemence. The squall was simultaneous with the ringing of a handbell, and was followed by the cry of a soft entreating voice roused to excitation. "Oh! Nockie dear" thus the former Miss Gentle named her spouse, "come here, quick oh! do be quick! Baby's fallen and Fred's ringing."
"I ought to have known the meat would not go round properly; but happily Marcus did not notice, or else there would have been a fuss. He and Martha dined properly, and I mean to enjoy my tea." But Mrs. Broderick's only answer was to ring her handbell. "Deb, boil two of those nice new-laid eggs that Mrs. Broughton sent me. Mrs.
Miss Erith said: "So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." Recklow got up, made them a bow, and reseated himself.

No person but ourselves was in the room; I was not speaking to him at the time. He looked round suspiciously at the door behind him, leading into the library, and rang the old-fashioned handbell which stood by him on the table.
If no shower falls, the people assemble and demand that the king shall give them rain; and if the sky still continues cloudless, they rip up his belly, in which he is believed to keep the storms. Amongst the Bari tribe one of these Rain Kings made rain by sprinkling water on the ground out of a handbell.
The Syndic's eyes gleamed, he raised his head. There was another score he had to pay! His own score, not Baudichon's. Fool, to have left his treasure unguarded for every thieving wench to take! Fool, thrice and again, for putting his neck back into the lion's mouth. Stealthily Blondel pulled the handbell nearer to him and covered it with his cloak.
