Job 1
"Striking through the thoughts of his dear ones was a sound he could neither ignore nor undersand, a sharp, distinct,metalic percussion like the stroke of a blacksmiths's hammer upon the anvil;it had the same ringing quality. ............. What he heard was the ticking of his watch." Line Ill I.
Peyton was trying to think of the most important thing he had on this earth-his family. His watch suddenly, and very loudly, disturbed his thinking. He was just listenting to the last seconds, of his life tick away. It's interesting that his watch sounded like a hammer. It makes me wonder whether or not he owned a blacksmith's shop. If I was about to die, I would remember, that I only had a few seconds left on this earth, and probably would be counting those last seconds, just like he was.
