False Alarm!

A worrying day. I think the bell has gone. So said Ruth today. She had driven past the school and seen bulldozers on site showing signs of action.
A quick call to the demolition contractor's office. I was assured that the bell had not gone. I would be contacted as soon as the bell is removed. All this implies that I may get the bell. I assured the girl in the office that I would offer a fair price for it.
Must now be patient. Again.
