1.For a long time I knew how the day went, by the imperious clangour of midday and evening bells striking down upon the houses and the edge of the lake.
2.The bell itself was just upon the other side of the wall, it responded to his activity, and scattered an alarming clangour far and wide into the night.
3.Perhaps the same fellow who had made so horrid a clangour in the darkness not half-an-hour before, now sent up the merriest cheer to greet the coming day.
