Well, yeah, et', but I didn't quite catch Father S's pronunciation,which wasn't clear as a bell from where I sat.
All in the spirit of having a tintinnabulatory fun.

The ART of the FOUNDER Cover story, Pacific Northwest Magazine Seattle Times, January 23, 2005 Plenty of bigger and fancier foundries are around, even in nearby Walla Walla and Joseph, Ore. Most are more organized and heralded than this one. Northwest Art Casting does not advertise and doesn't even have a Web site. Yet artists from Seattle and across the country find it, looking for workmanship, a good deal and help.
In some ways, Umapine is a fitting place for "lost wax" bronze casting, one of the oldest of metallurgical arts and a process that has changed little in four or five centuries. Artists from ancient Mesopotamia to the Han Dynasty of China used the method to create emblems and monuments to marvel and worship. Benvenuto Cellini used lost wax to cast Perseus and the Head of Medusa, an almost four-ton statue in Florence.http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/pacificnw/2005/0123/cover.html

well it could be Ding--ee (like ding dong a bell sound with an ee at the end)
like a dingy (the boat)
or it could be Dinge- ee(to rhyme with singe--slightly burnt) ee --dingy as dirty,
the sailor in a dingy whites, rowed the small leaky dingy to shore.

...guided by the bells of the dingy ringer in the bell tower.
Or was he the tragic victim of tintinitis doomed to row ‘til his craft sank and his bell tolled?
Don’t ask.

no, no, davy locket,
not guided by the bells of the dingy ringer in the bell tower
but guided by the appealing toll of pealing bells of the dingy ringer in the bell tower.
and he was doomed to row until his craft sunk (or should that be founderd?) or reached the atoll shore, where the small church lay, it's bell tolling now he hours, but might soon tolling for him?
(mind you he rowed fast, and was steadfast in his task, but the months of semi-fasting on the ship, and no breakfast that very day, left him weak!)
of troy, who on fine clear days, can smell the salty freshness of the sound.

Dunno about that, but some of the unsound around here tend to just plain reek.

It might have been the bellwether that was heard, or was it the ringleader?
‘must cast off now.
Baa.
