The Helen Haenke Collection at the University of Queensland's Fryer Library holds one copy of 'Time and the Bell' stage play. On the front page of the manuscript a typed note in brackets reads 'Title changed from "Troth to Toll"'. The scene descriptions are exactly the same as 'Troth to Toll', and the character list and descriptions are also the same with the exception of the 'Junior Office Girl' who has been removed. On the front page of the script, under the scene descriptions, there is a quote from T.S Eliot hand written in ink: 'Time and the bell have buried the day/The dark cloud hides the sun away.' Below that, also hand written is a note that reads, 'Please return to: Mrs H. Haenke, "Rockton", East Ipswich.'

The character Rosalie has been underlined at every indicator of her speech—as though the script was used by someone who was playing the part of Rosalie.

The play itself is almost exactly the same as the original, with some minor alterations and embellishments to characters' speech.

The Helen Haenke Collection at the University of Queensland's Fryer Library holds one copy of 'Troth to Toll'. The script has been typed with a typewriter onto pale brown paper. Underneath the title it reads 'One Act Play - in Three Scenes by "Inglewick"', presumably a pseudonym for the author.
