Begining and ending sentence.

My begining sentence was "The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there" and it's from the book the go-between by LP Hartley and my ending sentence was "He heard the ring of steel against steel as a far door clanged shut" they werent too hard to tie together because I felt that they were sort of related to crime in some sort of way and so that's how i tied them together.
