He let it ring a good long time and got no answer.

Though she did try to will it to ring a time or two.

I don't mind how many times he rings you at the phone box.

The phone rang four times within the next hour and a half.

It rang three or four times, then I heard her voice.

I rang two more times and returned to the car.

They continued to hold each other as it rang a second time.

He let it ring a long time, then hung up.

Then a minute after that it rang one, two, three or four times.

He let it ring a dozen times before giving up.
