What signifies owning a fault without mending it, you'll say? Very true, my dear. But you know I ever was a saucy creature ever stood in need of great allowances.

LETTER VI. Clarissa to Miss Howe. She praises his good behaviour at St. Paul's. Is prevailed on to dine with Mrs. Sinclair and her nieces. Is better pleased with them than she thought she should be.

The whole being thus seen by everyone, the works in stucco were vastly extolled, as they deserved, but not so the two Kings in painting, for it was thought that they were not equal in excellence to the work at the Trinita, and that with all those fine allowances and advantages he had gone rather backward than forward.

Lord Robert, who had been whistling at the window, said to Drake in a cynical undertone: "The man is hipped and sore.

You lived so long with a man who was almost perfect, that you cannot make allowances for impulsive and indiscreet young manhood. What has poor Claude been guilty of?" "I will tell you," I said, recovering myself by the time this speech was ended, by a mighty effort. "I will tell you: Guilty only of doing violence to his own inclinations, from a mistaken sense of duty to his father; that is all.
I'm going to supply a complete newspaper outfit to the last detail and give 'em a good running start. Then I shall sit back and watch results. If they lose money on running expenses, as they surely will, they'll first take it out of their allowances, then sell their jewelry, and finally come to me for help. See?

On the higher floor of the house, Mr. Keller and the doctor were waiting in the chamber of death. Jack kept his silent watch by the side of the couch, on which the one human creature who had befriended him lay hushed in the last earthly repose.
"Some of the Frankland girds are here, and the two Bellinghams. I have hardly spoken to them yet. Do you think that where you have even been in the right, if you have been harsh, if you have been hasty, if you haven't made allowances, you ought to offer some atonement?" "Really, I can't say," said Mrs. Brinkley, with a smile of distaste.
