Mr Bellamy moved leisurely to the fire-place, and rang the bell. The stout gentleman in plush walked in, and the landed proprietor pointed to the door. "For Mr Allcraft, William," said the squire. "Very well!" said Michael, white with agitation; "Very well! As sure as you are a living man, your ruin shall be coincident with mine.
I was executing some tours de force upon it one evening, when the policeman of our district rang the bell sharply, and asked what was the matter in the house. He had heard a woman's screams, he was sure of it. I had to make the instrument sing before his eyes before he could be satisfied that he had not heard the cries of a woman. This instrument was bequeathed to me by the Little Gentleman.
He came nearer and nearer, till the ghastly face was close to mine. A shudder as of death ran through me; but I think I did not move, for he seemed to quail, and retreated. As soon as he gave back, I struck one more sturdy blow on the stem of his tree, that the forest rang; and then looked at him again.
Or what are we coming to?” “The chariot! Do you remember the chariot?” “Yes; he turned a cart into a chariot!” “And to-morrow he will turn a chariot into a cart, just to suit his purpose.” “What cunning chaps there are nowadays! Is there any justice to be had in Russia?” But the bell rang. The jury deliberated for exactly an hour, neither more nor less.

She saw Raymond's knuckles grow white and hard as his hands gripped the back of his chair. His eyes dilated, and for a moment he could not speak.
She leaned back in her chair, and looked at him in silence, wondering whether she was not perhaps doing him a great injustice; yet his voice rang false to her ear, and the old conviction that he had never loved his wife came back with increased force and with the certainty that he had been playing a part for years without once breaking down. "I will join Marcello, and see what I can do," he said.
In a twinkling a moving wall had been formed, to the music of merrily clinking stirrups and scabbards and jangling metal; and the gallop towards the wood began. Just at that moment its skirts were outlined by a circle of fire, and a violent fusillade rang out. Bullets whistled in all directions, and behind me I heard the heavy sound of men and horses falling on the hard ground.
The first time Sir Edwin rang up the newspaper office after the memorable Sunday it happened that Hal had gone into the country to report an opening ceremony, graced by Royalty, so she was saved the necessity of framing a reply. One of the usual reporters being ill, the news editor had asked her if she would like to take his place, and she had eagerly accepted the chance.
We did not start out till after seven, and we had not been in the room more than ten minutes before the old-fashioned clock in the corner rang out the departure of the hour and ushered in eight o'clock whereat James laid aside his book, and at a signal from his father brought him the family Bible.
