Dilatory comrade interrupting sound of bell (8)
I believe the answer is:
dallying
'dilatory' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'comrade interrupting sound of bell' is the wordplay.
'comrade' becomes 'ally' (I've seen this in another clue).
'interrupting' indicates putting letters inside.
'sound of bell' becomes 'ding' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'ally' going into 'ding' is 'DALLYING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dallying that I've seen before include "showing hesitation" , "Lingering" , "Wasting time idly or frivolously" , "acting frivolously" , "Dawdling" .)
