| Literature | 1: Bells The Koran says that bells hang on the trees of Paradise, and are set in motion by wind from the throne of God, as often as the blessed wish for music. (Sale. ) 2: "Bells as musical 3: Of Eden, shook by the eternal breeze." 4: Ringing the bells backwards, is ringing a muffled peal. Backwards is often used to denote "in a contrary direction" (tout le contraire), as, "I hear you are grown rich-" "Yes, backwards." To ring a muffled peal, is to ring a peal of sorrow, not of joy. 5: In olden times bells were rung backwards as a tocsin, or notice of danger. 6: T. Moore: Lalla Rookh, part i. 7: I'll not hang all my bells on one horse. I'll not leave all my property to one son. The allusion is manifest. 8: Dares stir a wing, if Warwick shakes his bells." 9: Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh (Hamlet, iii. 1). A most exquisite metaphor for a deranged mind, such as that of Don Quixote. 10: Warwick shakes his bells. Beware of danger, for Warwick is in the field. Trojans beware, Achilles has donned his armour. The bells mean the bells of a hawk, the hawk shakes his bells. 11: "Neither the king, nor he that loves him best, 12: At three bells, at five bells, etc. A term on board ship pretty nearly tantamount to our expression o'clock. Five out of the seven watches last four hours, and each half-hour is marked by a bell, which gives a number of strokes corresponding to the number of half-hours passed. Thus, "three bells" denotes the third half-hour of the watch, "five bells" the fifth half-hour of the watch, and so on. The two short watches, which last only two hours each, are from four to six and six to eight in the afternoon. At eight bells a new watch begins. (See Watch.) 13: As those that, on the golden-shafted trees 14: Shakespeare: 3 Henry VI., i. 1. 15: "Do you there hear? Clean shirt and a shave for muster at five bells."- Basil Hall. 16: "Beacons were lighted upon crags and eminences; the bells were rung backwards in the churches; and the general summons to arm announced an extremity of danger."- Sir W. Scott. The Betrothed. chap. iii. 17: Give her the bells and let her fly. Don't throw good money after bad; make the best of the matter, but do not attempt to bolster it up. When a hawk was worthless, the bells were taken off, and the bird was suffered to escape, but the advice given above is to "leave the bells" and let the hawk go. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. | ||

| School of the Seven Bells | The School of the Seven Bells is a legendary crime college in South America where pickpockets are trained. The school, said to be in Colombia, has never been visited by a U.S. law enforcement official, and many believe it does not exist. But as the legend goes, the final test at the school involves a teacher posing as a mark, his body booby-trapped with seven small bells, each strategically placed. To graduate, students must slip valuables from several pockets without ringing any of the bells. Many students who graduate from this school put their new skills to use in large cities throughout the world - including cities in the United States. It's believed that most of the graduates from this school end up in New York City. (references) | ||

| Bells and whistles | Computing | Bells and whistles n. [common] Features added to a program or system to make it more flavorful from a hacker's point of view, without necessarily adding to its utility for its primary function. Distinguished from chrome, which is intended to attract users. "Now that we've got the basic program working, let's go back and add some bells and whistles." No one seems to know what distinguishes a bell from a whistle. The recognized emphatic form is "bells, whistles, and gongs". It used to be thought that this term derived from the toyboxes on theater organs. However, the "and gongs" strongly suggests a different origin, at sea. Before powered horns, ships routinely used bells, whistles, and gongs to signal each other over longer distances than voice can carry. Source: Jargon File.. | |
