1) [Katsuo] 2-7-2007(24): The mechanism in my old grandfather clock suddenly broke with an almighty chime and one of the jewels was thrown out through the window into a nearby grove of trees. I'm now searching for the jewel in the grove while the clock continues to chime incessantly.

2) [mantixen] 27-7-2009(15): The king knew playtime in the grove was over when he heard the clock tower chime.

3) [cameron_en] 21-11-2008(7): When the king got lost in the grove, he could easily find his way back to the castle by following the sounds of the chime.
