One of the charming,or unpleasant,things about living in an old University town is that the church clocks strike every quarter of an hour.The sound is always beautiful, but sometimes it disturbs people,when they are trying to sleep,or startles them,when they are thinking of something else.Actually,most people who live near such clocks soon get so used to them that they hardly notice them. One year, several people who lived in Cambridge thought they heard one of the big church strike 13 minutes instead of 12 at midnight one night.They listened again the following night,and sure enough ,they heard 11,12,and then 13,so the next morning, they phoned the priest who was in charge of that church and told him what they had heard. Of course,he was very surprised, and said that he would have the machinery of the clock examined by the engineers as soon as possible.Actually,when he phoned the company that looked after the machinery of the clock,they were so interested in the problem that the manager and two of his men came at once and spent an hour examining the clock,but they found nothing wrong with it.
Then the priest suddenly had an idea,One of the colleges of the university was on the other side of the road,opposite the church,so that evening ,just before midnight,the priest hid in the yard in front of the church with a pair of field glasses,and carefully examined the windows of the college with them.When the church clock began to strike midnight ,one of the windows opened,and a student appeared with an airgun,and as soon as the twelfth stroke had finished ,he aimed at the bell carefully and fired a shot。
