From some distant church tower a clock tolled the hour of ten.

But as the minute hand came around to the nine, the clock once again tolled thirteen times.

At length the hour was spent, and the clock tolled.

Midnight, and the faint echo of clocks tolling the hour came through the window.

A loud-chimed clock was tolling the hour of four.

But as a clock tolled midnight somewhere out in the cold city he started up and shivered, and finally decided to break his own rule.

The clocks tolled on time, and all one needed was a high-digit sunblock.

Not far away, the great clock tolled three; men went into the garden and came out with two elderiy folk-servants, perhaps.

The clock tolled midnight as we made our way home from the pub.

The noon whistle blasted and the ship's clock in the president's office tolled.
