"Ah, scoffer at the wise," laughed Drusus, "what do you wish, then?" He spoke in Greek. "Speak in Latin, in Latin, Quintus," was her retort. "I am weary of this fine, sweet language that tinkles so delicately, every word of which hides a hundred meanings, every sentence attuned like the notes for a harp.
He knows every soul in the club, has thoroughly talked out every subject of interest, and would give half a year's oh, five years' pay for one lung-filling breath of air that has life in it, one sniff of the haying grass, or half a mile of muddy London street where the muffin bell tinkles in the four o'clock fog. Then the big liner moves out across the staring blue of the bay.
If he is to exist in a certain social order of our civilization unburdened by great doubts and deep glooms he must not shiver when his wife tinkles her champagne glass against another. He must learn to appreciate the sinuous beauties of the cabaret dancer, and must train himself to take no offence when he sees shimmering wines tilted down white throats.
Then a telephone bell tinkles, and a youth rises out of the dark to prate of a lost Arabella, and haberdashery. A shot rings out, as the immemorial custom with shots, and in comes a professor of Comparative Literature, with a perforation in his derby hat. A professional hermit arrives to teach the amateur the fine points of the game.
Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, wherever the horse-car, that tinkles well-nigh round the Continent, is known; remember that the same victims are thus daily sacrificed, without an effort to right themselves: and then you will begin to realize dimly and imperfectly, of course the unfathomable meekness of the American character.

And this is what it sang, in silvery tones, just like the little bell that tinkles on pussy's neck: The fairy prince lies deep and dark, Waiting for the firefly's spark; If you wish to see him now, Follow me, and make a bow. And, all at once, who should appear but Fan Tail, the gold fish.
"I want you for prima facie evidence, in case the vaccination don't take," said Pyecroft in my ear. "Push off, Alf!" The last bell-ringing was high overhead. It was followed by six little tinkles from the Agatha, the roar of her falling anchor, the clash of pans, and loose shouting. "Where be gwine tu? Port your 'ellum. Aie! you mud-dredger in the fairway, goo astern! Out boats! She'll sink us!"
'Heriot, I give you my word of honour, the very look of her 's eternal Summer. Kiomi rings thin she tinkles; it 's the difference between metal and flesh. 'Did she tinkle, as you call it, when that fellow Destrier, confound him! touched her? 'The little cat! Did you notice Mabel's blush? 'How could I help it? We've all had a dozen apiece.
With a laugh which tinkles through my ears to this day, she dances through the room and cries: "War's begun! War's begun!" An older girl utters a cry of horror, and puts her hand upon the little creature's thoughtless lips. "Oh, how can you?" so I hear the older girl. "Hush, hush, hush!"
