How would you interpret the phrase ‘has a good ring’? Your news is extremely welcome. All of us at Stratford and Sons are pleased to know your novel is moving forward at a clip. I’ve read the chapters you sent, and find them in every way up to the standard we expect from our boy Shepherd. This may be your best to date. This contract explains the terms we discussed by telephone. The late summer completion date you suggest will be very suitable. You’ll hear soon from our sales department to discuss the title, dust jacket, and so forth. They are determined to include an author photograph this time, so please give the request a fair consideration. I’m afraid your title, The Name of This Place, does not strike us as quite the ticket. I believe Cataclysm of the Empire has a good ring. But we have time to sort that out. How would you interpret the phrase ‘has a good ring’ in the second to the last sentence? Thanks!
