Five years has a melancholy sound to me now, for it is like a passing-bell, knolling away time. I hope it is not wrong to say that the passage of time is now sad to me as well as awful, because it brings before me how much I ought to have done, how much I have to do, and how little time I have to do it in.... I wonder whether Badeley is with you? What a strange thing life is!
The landlady heard her moving, and came out of a little apartment at the back of the house, to see what was going on. "Were you going out, ma'am?" she asked, curiously. "I? no; at least," said Lettice, with somewhat difficult utterance, "I was only wondering what that bell was, and " "Oh, that's a bell from the church close by. Sounds exactly like a passing-bell, don't it, ma'am?
"That clock has sounded the hour of a rendezvous." "For me, it sounds like a passing-bell. But be silent, Laure; here are three cloaks passing." They allowed three men to pass. Grandchamp followed them, made sure of the road they took, and returned to his seat, sighing deeply. "The snow is cold, Laure, and I am old.
"Bury them, bury them out of sight, For hope and fame are fled; And peaceful resting and quiet night Are all now left for the dead." "You will stir up my anger against your lute," said Froda.

The devil's passing-bell tolls on Christmas Eve from the church tower at Dewsbury, and a muffled peal bewails the slaughter of the children on Holy Innocents' Day. The boar's head is still brought in triumph into the hall of Queen's College. Old women "go a-gooding" or mumping on St.
It was an immense relief to us when the last stroke of the passing-bell was struck, and John said we could go down. He took the key from his pocket and was fitting it into the lock, when it slipped, beyond our reach. Now the little sister cried again, and would not be pacified; and when I looked up and caught John's blank, dismayed look, I began to feel like crying, too.
Now since she is dying, let us ring her passing-bell; for when she is dead, we that live to see it intend to ring out.

I mean that our old and long-tried cook, Bathsheba, who had been an heirloom in the family, suddenly fell in love with the older sexton, who had rung the passing-bell for every soul who died in the village for forty years, and took it into her head to marry him, and desert our kitchen for his little brown house under the hill.
