"There's the gong for luncheon and Edith bringing the mail. I hope there's a letter from mother." "There is," said Edith. "Please excuse me, Miss Estelle, if I read it now," begged Frances, settling into her seat at the table. "Of course, dear," was the reply as Estelle took Mrs. Thayne's usual place, for she and Edith were having their meals with the young people.
The captain rang the gong, the boat stopped, and fishlines were in demand. The flesh of the orang was used for bait; and in a few minutes Morris hauled up a fish so large that it taxed all his strength and skill to get him into the boat. All the cabin party had their lines out, but not another fish was caught. The place where they fished seemed to be a hole, and the water was deep and clear.
For the house was warm from roof to floor. It was strange to see the blue air of sunlight outside, the yellow-edged leaves falling in the wind, the red flowers shaking. The gong sounded softly through the house. The Colonel came in heartily from the garden, but did not speak to Aaron. The Major and his wife came pallid down the stairs.
The girl from Higbee School had had so many adventures that day that she could not at once go to sleep. She lay awake a long time after Cora's heavy and regular breathing assured her that her companion in Number 30 was in the land of dreams. She heard the gong at ten which demanded silence and "lights out" of the girls on the upper dormitory floors.

"I fail to see," a dignified young lady stated, "what Cazaio, at least, has to do with your galimatias." "Simply that I received this morning a letter demanding you be surrendered to Cazaio," de Soyecourt answered as he sounded the gong. "Otherwise, our amiable friend of the Taunenfels announces he will attack Bellegarde.
The library was far removed from the courtyard; but surely he heard the clatter of horses' hoofs upon the raving stones. He had hardly hoped for Brother Philip's return until after sunset; yet with fast riding If the Knight's answer were in all respects satisfactory If Mora's happiness was assured why, then He sounded the silver gong. His servant entered.
The gong sounded, and, putting her white arm within his, Irene took him into the dining-room. She seated him in Soames's usual place, round the corner on her left. The light fell softly there, so that he would not be worried by the gradual dying of the day; and she began to talk to him about himself.
