And Everard, with a hand on Rajah's bridle, nodded smilingly after the girls as they ran towards the house in response to the clanging school-bell.
With very earnest tenderness it was done, some grave word of inspiration going before each caress; but when at last he said, "To-morrow, dear chil'run, the school-bell shall ring in Gran' Point'!" and turned to finish with Sidonie she was gone.
There is a wind above and a wider sweep of clouds. Surely, from the crest of the hill the whole county will lie before you. Such tunes as come up from the world below a school-bell, a rooster crowing, children laughing on the road, a threshing machine on the lower meadows such tunes are pitched to a marvellous softness. Shall we follow the hot pavement, or shall we dare those lonely stretches?
The Settlers had the advantage of position, but they were sometimes overpowered by numbers, and would often have had to surrender but for the ringing of the school-bell. The Pequots were in great fear of the school-bell.
I'm in awfully deep with him, Percy, and I don't dare let it be found out. We'll see what old Merton says this morning. But the doctor sha'n't hear of it just yet if I can help it."

And I was happy, until the school-bell rang which took the form of Theobald's telephone message to the Ritz reminding me of our dinner engagement.
As to the meeting, I went once to that church to attend a prayer-meeting, too, and if there can be a more refined and long drawn-out exhibition of dullness than was presented to us there, I don't know where to look for it. I wonder why the school-bell doesn't ring? It is three minutes past the time by my watch." Marion, without an attempt at a reply, turned and went swiftly down the hall.
Elizabeth Ann had not understood more than one word in five of this, but just then the school-bell rang and they went back, little Molly helping Elizabeth Ann over the log and thinking she was being helped, as before.
