Do not say it 's over till the clock has struck again ! '' She had entered shortly after Tackleton , and had remained there . She never looked at Tackleton , but fixed her eyes upon her husband . But she kept away from him , setting as wide a space as possible between them ; and , though she spoke with most impassioned earnestness , she went no nearer to him even then . How different in this from her old self ! `` No hand can make the clock which will strike again for me the hours that are gone , '' replied the Carrier with a faint smile . `` But let it be so , if you will , my dear . It will strike soon . It 's of little matter what we say . I 'd try to please you in a harder case than that . '' `` Well ! '' muttered Tackleton . `` I must be off , for , when the clock strikes again , it 'll be necessary for me to be upon my way to church . Good morning , John Peerybingle . I 'm sorry to be deprived of the pleasure of your company . Sorry for the loss , and the occasion of it too ! '' `` I have spoken plainly ? '' said the Carrier , accompanying him to the door . `` Oh , quite ! '' `` And you 'll remember what I have said ? ''
`` Why , XXXXX you compel me to make the observation , '' said Tackleton , previously taking the precaution of getting into his chaise , `` I must say that it was so very unexpected , that I 'm far from being likely to forget it . ''
