"the sound of Big Ben striking the half-hour struck out between them with extraordinary vigour, as if a young man, strong , indifferent, inconsiderate, were swinging dumb-bells this way and that." (48)
Big Ben is a large four faced clock tour on the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London. Big Ben is a constant reminder that life moves on quickly and death is inevitable. Peter and Clarissa's meeting bring up memories, but Elizabeth and Big Ben interrupted them, reminding them that they are in the present and cannot return to the past.
