Nothing was to hear but the sound of running and falling waters, every brook with its own note, a tinkle of gold on a marble stair as I came to it, declining to a murmur of sweethearts in a bower as I put its banks behind me after wading or leaping; or a song sung in a clear spring morning by a girl among heather hills muffling behind me to the blackguard discourse of banditty waiting with poignards out upon a lonely highway.
There were voices just a mumble in the direction of the stable, and, as I drew in closer toward the house I could distinguish sounds as though a considerable party were at table yet even the tinkle of knife and plate was muffled; probably the dining-room was on the opposite side.
But as I ran up the stairs, I heard the tinkle of the spinet, and the notes of an old, familiar tune fell upon my ears. The words rose in my head with the cadence. "Love me little, love me long, Is the burthen of my song, Love that is too hot and strong Runneth soon to waste." That simple air, already mellowed by an hundred years, had always been her favourite.
You promised you'd stick to me through thick and thin and not care a twopenny I mean a straw what Jim Morrison and Mrs. Shaw " In the stress of conversation they had neither of them noticed the tinkle of the front-door bell. Now the door of the room, narrow and in the thickness of an enormous wall, was thrown open and Mrs. Shaw was announced.
Are you too off on a turkey hunt?" said Betty. "Listen," said the hunter, as he stopped and leaned against the gate. They listened. All was quiet save for the tinkle of a cow-bell in the pasture adjoining the Colonel's barn. Presently the silence was broken by a long, shrill, peculiar cry. "Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug-chug."
Nothing, however, occurred until, one hot summer afternoon, the indications of a storm became so threatening that the sacristan was directed to ring the bells. Scarcely had he begun than the sky became clear, but instead of the usual rich volume of sound the townsmen heard with astonishment a solitary tinkle, sounding quite ridiculous and unsatisfactory in comparison. St.
He thrust his knife between them, but struck the air; and, though he had been standing directly in front of the opening, so that nothing could have passed him, yet he heard the clatter of hoofs and the tinkle of spurs, and, turning, saw a mysterious horseman, whose pale face and streaming hair melted into the mountain mist, as it floated down from the purple Santa Ynez peaks into the lap of the vine-covered foot- hills below.
I wisht I had a drink, so as I'd be right when the old muley gun gits to barkin'." A faint sound, almost indistinguishable, echoed up the gulch to him. Miraculously his nervousness vanished. Every nerve was keyed up, every muscle tense, but he was cool as water in a mountain stream. The sound repeated itself, a faint tinkle of gravel rolling from a trail beneath the hoof of a horse.
"O pectorae caec ma'am, I beg you to take your elbow from my throat this minute!" But even her powerful and indignant organ was lost in the hubbub that mingled with the wild music of the guitars, to which was now added the tinkle of bells and the vehement click of a round dozen of castanets, marking the bull-fighting rhythm of a new air called "The Espada's Return to Madrid."
It is a bell that there is not such another bell in the whole world. I have only to give it a little tinkle, and my sheep run of themselves wherever I would have them go.
