Quasimodo was in the process of interviewing his replacement since he was retiring. His final test for each prospect was the demonstration of his own technique for the melodic, somewhat muffled ringing of the massive bells. This entailed his swinging from a rope, and leading with his head banging directly, face first into the bells. The most likely candidate was attempting his first swing, but just as he approached the bell face first, he flinched at the thought of the probable pain and flung himself accidentally over the parapet landing in a bloody heap several hundred feet below on the pavement. Two of the villagers approached the still oozing body, and turning it over gingerly with an outstretched toe, one villager asks the other "... do ya' know 'im?" Last villager responds, "... not really but his face rings a bell..." (Groan!)
