Town Crier

We have a Grandfather clock. Every hour from 7am to 9pm, it rings out at the hour.

Mary has taken to count the number of tones and calling out the hour. It will ring, then from somewhere in the house you hear "Ten O'clock" or whatever time it is. We have not yet taught her to say "And all is well" after, but I have been thinking about it.

Occasionally, Emma, not to be outdone, will call out a different time after Mary has called out the time. You will hear "Ten O'clock" followed by "No, Three O'clock"...
