A bell with an old voice - which I dare say in its time had often said to the house, Here is the green farthingale, Here is the diamondhilted sword, Here are the shoes with red heels and the blue solitaire.
What is Dickens trying to symbolize with this? Is the bell meant to represent a warning sign to the house? If so, why use benevolent objects as examples?
