OK
Here is a compilation of instances in Books 1-20, FW1-4, and GS1-4 that might
require marking up in
line with the discussion for Books 21-28. I have already discarded all
instances in the form of:
"...you hear the [blah] click open/closed."
CLICK:
Book 1:
22: "Then behind you the ominous click of a crossbow being cocked..."
87: "...a subtle click confirms that your effort has not been in vain."
196: "...and you hear a metallic click."
205: "...the ominous click of a crossbow being primed sends a shiver down your
spine."
326: "You hear a dull click--the Key works."
Book 2:
287: "...you hear a faint click that tells you that..."
Book 3:
194: "A subtle click indicates you have been successful..."
256: "...and is followed by a dull click."
303: "A click confirms that it works."

Book 4:
282: "You hear the hollow click of the lock, but this is echoed by a click far
louder."

Book 6:
85: "As you hear the click of the crossbow trigger..."
Book 8:
153: "...there is a dull click, and the entire circular front..."
177: "...waiting for the tell-tale click that will reveal the direction..."
Book 9:
6: "There is a faint click but the doors remain firmly closed."
316: "There is a soft click and Sogh smiles proudly..."
Book 10:
7: "The metallic click of a crossbow being cocked..."
152: "You hear a click followed by a rush of air..."
Book 11:
253: "A loud click issues from the lock..."
Book 12:
144: "You awake to the sound of a loud click, barely audible above the..."
338: "...you awake to the sound of a loud click, barely audible above the..."
Book 13:
115: "Then you hear a click followed by the hiss of escaping air..."
234: "There is a faint click and, as you push, the wall glides inwards..."
Book 14:
3: "...the lock emits a distinct click and, slowly, the great door..."
244: "...there is a metallic click as the bolt is drawn."
Book 16:
33: "...you hear the click of a door latch."
Book 18:
160: "...you hear the ominous click of a crossbow being cocked..."
Freeway Warrior Book 2:
343: "There is a click of a pistol hammer being cocked..."
Freeway Warrior Book 4:
28: "...there is a faint click and the whirr of a hydraulic lock as it
disengages."
[Also: whirr ?]
91: "...when you hear the click of a firing bolt being cocked."
277: "With a satisfying click, the lock disengages..."
--------------------------------------------------
CLANG:
Book 5:
132: "...and the clang of hammer on anvil..."
Book 9:
156: "...you are rudely awoken at dawn by the clang of a brass hand-bell."
Book 10:
230: "The harsh clang of the alarm bell, and..."
Book 12:
22: "...the silence is shattered by the piercing clang of a bell."
100: "...the sudden clang of alarm bells and the appearance of huge clouds..."
349: "...the alarm bell echoes between the walls of solid rock, its dreadful
clang reverberating in
your head."
Book 13:
50: "...when suddenly the harsh clang of an alarm bell fills the hall."
Book 15:
272: "...of galloping steeds, the clang of riven steel, and..."
Book 19:
71: "...you suddenly hear the ringing metallic clang of an iron girder..."
185: "You hear the distant clang of a bell..."
289: "...you hear the distant clang of a bell and..."
Book 22:
106: "...you unsheathe your Kai Weapon and the clang of striking metal
echoes..."
--------------------------------------------------
Book 14: [I don't think any of these qualify to be marked up; however:]
38: "The distant clang and clash of steel tells you that the fighting is not
over..."
44: "The distant clang and clash of steel tells you that the fighting is not
over..."
51: "The distant clang and clash of steel tell you that the fighting is not
over..."
80: "The distant clang and clash of steel tell you that the fighting is not
over..."
171: "The distant clang and clash of steel tells you that the fighting is not
over..."
172: "The distant clang and clash of steel tells you that the fighting is not
over..."
343: "The distant clang and clash of steel tell you that the fighting is not
over..."
Should this be standardised to "tell you" or "tells you"?
There is only one more global list to go after this one, but it is far more straightforward than the
previous two.
If it is a lot of work reading and deciding on what is written in these posts, imagine how long it
takes compiling them! This one was written in several sittings over two days, for example.
