He spoke the ringin', lightnin' truth.... Then he accused Tull of the underhand, miserable robbery of a helpless woman. He told Tull where the red herd was, of a deal made with Oldrin', that Jerry Card had made the deal. I thought Tull was goin' to drop, an' that little frog-legged cuss, he looked some limp an' white.
And presently the voice of Western Union was lifted in sour expostulation: "Sa-ay, whatcha s'pose 's th' matta wid dis guy? I' been ringin' haffanour!" "That's funny," commented the elevator boy: "he came in only about ten minutes ago." "Yuh wuddn' think he cud pass away 's quick 's all that wuddja?" "Ah, I dunno. Mebbe he had a bun on when he come in. Gen'ly has. I didn' notice."
'Weel, it's no a God's-innocent but a deil's-gowk I'll hae to luik efter noo, and I maun come hame ilka possible chance to get hertenin frae you and my father, or I winna be able to bide it. Eh, mother, efter Steenie, it'll be awfu' to spen' the day wi' her! It's no 'at ever she'll be fou: I s' see to that! it's 'at she'll aye be toom! aye ringin wi' toomness!
I haud my breath and lay close watchin' him, but just as he cam tae where I was my vera hairt stood still in my breast, for "ting!" loud and clear, within a yaird o' me cam the ringin', clangin' soond that I had a'ready hairkened tae.

And, laying his head again on the pillow, he murmured: "I sartinly conceited I heerd the bells ringin'." And then he slept. Aye, aye, Old Trapper; we of whitening heads know the truth of thy saying and thy dreaming. Thou didst hear the bells ring. For often as we sleep on Christmas eve the ringing of bells comes to us.
He give her four lessons fer a dollar, an' she begin to hear raps an' bells ringin' the fifth settin'. Last night she begin to move the furniture." "She must 'a' been in a trance!" exclaimed Myrtella. "I been knowin' Maria about fourteen years an' I never heard of her movin' the furniture. She can go to more pains to scrub around a table leg than any one I ever knowed."
If only she might get Maitland, tell him where the jewels were hidden, warn him to remove them then she could escape further suffering by open confession.. "What number?" came Central's languid query, after a space. "Did you say Nine-ought-nine-eight?" "No, no, Central. Nine-o-eight-nine Madison, please, and hurry hurry!" "Ah, I'm ringin' 'em.

"I know," he added, "that it doesn't look well; but you never supposed that I acted from treachery, or deceit, or want of affection or respect for my religion? You don't suppose that what all the country is ringin' with that I took a bribe or made a bargain with Vanston is true?"
