Randall  : Do you know what a grandfather clock is?

Horace    :         Yes, of course.

Randall  : I assume it is a kind of clock, but what does it look like?

Horace    :         Well, they’re usually big, about an average person’s height, and maybe 20 to 24 inches wide.

Randall  : And.

Horace    :         The clock face is at the top, usually a round face, and many have Roman Numerals.

Randall  :         Go on.

Horace    :         Below the face is a pendulum which hangs from a chain, or something similar, which swings back and forth as the clock ticks.

Randall  :         I’m sorry, what’s a pendulum?

Horace    :         A weight hanging from a chain, cable, or string.

Randall  : I see.

Horace    :         In all the grandfather clocks I have ever seen, the cabinets were made out of wood, usually stained brown.

Randall  :         Why are they called grandfather clocks?

Horace    :         I don’t know. Maybe because they are an old style of clock that was common in our grandfathers’ days.

Randall  :         The clock in your father’s office is a grandfather clock, isn’t it?

Horace    :         Yes, but he calls it his grandmother’s clock.

Randall  :         Why?

Horace    :         Because his grandmother gave it to him
