"Miss Deronnais, I wouldn't rely on Father Mahon. I've hardly ever met a priest who takes these things seriously. In theory yes, of course; but not in concrete instances. However, Father Mahon may be an exception. And the worst of it is that the priesthood has enormous power, if they only knew it." The tinkle of a bicycle bell sounded down the road behind them.
So long as we all are like John Barclay save in John's courage to do wrong, laws won't help us much, and putting John in jail won't do so very much though it may scare the cowards until John's kind of crime grows unpopular. But what we must have is individual " Tinkle goes the bell over Watts McHurdie's head the bell tied to a cord that connects with the front door.
With a swift strength of gait that seemed amazing to those who had witnessed her feeble dragging about the house for weeks past, Lillian flashed through the door, and suddenly there was the keen tinkle of a bell in the darkening, chill spaces of the unused hall.
Starling!" with a hilarious tinkle of a laugh, "you know that appallingly gorgeous house of Cherry Cheston's in Palace Garden did she ever tell you that it was the result of a 'tip' a queer Chicago man managed for her? He liked her. He used to call her 'Cherry Ripe' when they were alone. He was big and red and half boyish sentimental and half blustering.
Since that solitary, withered, and scared creature dived out of the cave they had seen no one. But still he sat on guard as the hours slipped slowly by, and then there came a surprising thing. Just the tinkle made by a drop of water falling into a pool! It came at regular intervals, incessant, musical, and he began to count it, wondering at the height it fell, and marvelling at the noise it made.
The fountain was playing, the trees rustled softly overhead, a little breeze played in some mysterious way over the court, and from the distance came the tinkle of some Mexican mandolins, for Frances had hidden José and his brother in one of the shadowy rooms. "Oh, it's quite al fresco, don't you know," drawled Sue. "Altogether novel and chawming isn't it, Mrs. Edwards?"
Dost Thou hear how the bosom of Judas Iscariot is cracking under it?" And the last silence was abysmal, like the last glance of eternity. "I go." But the evening stillness woke not, neither uttered cry nor plaint, nor did its subtle air vibrate with the slightest tinkle so soft was the fall of the retreating steps. They sounded for a time, and then were silent.
This German was moving out then, and so the fourth floor on this staircase would be untenanted except by the old woman. "That's a good thing anyway," he thought to himself, as he rang the bell of the old woman's flat. The bell gave a faint tinkle as though it were made of tin and not of copper. The little flats in such houses always have bells that ring like that.
Parker leaned forwards to shake off the ash of his cigar. Then, on a sudden, he paused, for from the passage outside came the passionless tinkle of an electric bell then another, and another, and another, as if some person overhead strove by reiteration on that single note to cry out some overwhelming need.
One old woman is so aged and wizened and infirm that she must sit inside her basket to carry out the pattern of what life is to her; and the sunlight strikes back from the heat-baked walls in a glare that stabs the eye; and you hear the tinkle of the bells from the watering pools. Then, suddenly, for the first time, you see It.
