Wind-up

Does anyone still use a wind-up alarm clock these days?

Everyone is invited to our end-of-term wind-up party.

The wind-up is, that the father becomes bankrupt; the wife and daughters town-traders; the sons Greeks, Fancy-swells, Conveyancers (pickpockets), or Cracksmen (house breakers), and the New Drop is the last drop they ever take.

After this long windup, Smith says, “Is there a question there, your honor?” He says it not in an evasive way, but with a smile.

"Is this a wind-up, or what?" "No, no, it's true. He can really do it."

He's into his wind-up. Here comes the pitch. Strike on the inside corner!

Maybe you could get a wind-up toy to distract him.
