Hard by is a Hindoo temple, whence at sunset issue the sweetest chimes imaginable from a peal of silver-toned bells. My charpoy is placed on the porch facing the east, and soon the rotund face of the rising moon floats above the trees, and the silvery tinkle of the bells is followed by a chorus of jackals paying their noisy compliments to its loveliness.
It was about an hour after sun-up that the cheery notes of Bumpus' silver-toned bugle gave the signal for the start; and the six khaki-clad lads could be seen moving at a fairly fast pace along the shore of the lake. Step Hen had managed to bundle the captive owl in a spare sweater, so he could carry him all right without danger.
In went the sheets, on went the press, out came the tales, up grew the pile, amid quips and cranks and rays of silver-toned laughter, social labor's natural music. They were all so innocent and so happy, when the door was unceremoniously opened, and in burst Fry and Hodges, followed by Evans crawling with his eyes on the ground. The work-women looked astonished, but did not interrupt their work.
"I wish to know," said Natalie, with her clear, silver-toned voice "I wish to know by what right people here force their way into my house, and what excuse you have for this shameless conduct?" The officer, who was no other than Stephano, bowed to her with a slightly ironical smile. "Justice needs no excuse," said he.
Across the ranges came a warm, damp scent that promised rain, and the clouds once more parted bringing the tranquil magic of a silver-toned nocturne. The tree stood with its loftiest plumes moving lightly, as though brushing the heavens, where the clouds were flakes of opal fleece.

But his next impulse was to wrestle with this feeling to combat this weakness. How could he have hoped ever to rejoin her without rendering himself again liable to the witchery of her siren tongue the eloquence of her silver-toned voice the persuasiveness of her graceful manners? No; it were better that she should depart; it were preferable that he should lose her and preserve his immortal soul.
If you want to hear the bell to perfection, ask her to sing 'Toll the bell for lovely Nell." "Do give me that pleasure," said Alfred, persuasively. She sang the pathetic melody, and with voice and piano imitated to perfection the slow tolling of a silver-toned bell. After a short pause, during which she trifled with the keys, while some general remarks were passing, she turned to Mr.
"It seems to me just as though we had been sailing down hill ever since we came into the river. Hark!" It was just six o'clock, and the chime of bells on the great Cathedral played a silver-toned melody which was almost enchanting. "I should not object to hearing that every hour," said Pelham, when the tune was finished. "Do they play the same tune over again?"
The order of the day or night was for ever pressed upon me and the order of the day was now to go to this new sentimental comedy my mother's favourite actor, the silver-toned Barry, was to play the lover of the piece; so she was sure of as many fashionable young ladies as her box could possibly hold.
