Up and down went the shadows of the ringers upon the walls, up and down went the scarlet sallies flickering roofwards and floorwards, and up and down, hunting in their courses, went the bells of Fenchurch St. The Nine Tailors (A Lord Peter Wimsey Mystery) Hardcover Januby Dorothy L. Out over the flat, white wastes of fen, over the spear-straight, steel-dark dykes and the wind-bent, groaning poplar trees, bursting from the snow-choked louvres of the belfry, whirled away southward and westward in gusty blasts of clamour to the sleeping counties went the music of the bells-little Gaude, silver Sabaoth, strong John and Jericho, glad Jubilee, sweet Dimity and old Batty Thomas, with great Tailor Paul bawling and striding like a giant in the midst of them. Tin tan din dan bim bam bom bo-tan tin din dan bam bim bo bom-tan dan tin bam din bo bim bom-every bell in her place striking tuneably, hunting up, hunting down, dodging, snapping, laying her blows behind, making her thirds and fourths, working down to lead the dance again. The Nine Tailors is one of Dorothy Sayers finest books of detection, featuring her internationally famous detective creation, Lord Peter Wimsey. Here they learn of the theft of the Wilbraham emeralds. Sayers, dramatised by Michelene Wandor On his way to visit friends at Walbeach, Lord Peter Wimseys car lands in a ditch and he and Bunter are forced to take shelter at Fenchurch St Paul.

“The bells gave tongue: Gaude, Sabaoth, John, Jericho, Jubilee, Dimity, Batty Thomas and Tailor Paul, rioting and exulting high up in the dark tower, wide mouths rising and falling, brazen tongues clamouring, huge wheels turning to the dance of the leaping ropes.
