They, poor creatures, were dreadfully ashamed of being women, and they did all that was possible to conceal the fact. They, doubtless, would gladly have amputated their legs, if the ministers had so decreed, and they apologized to the world every time an unforseen circumstance uncovered a portion of these offensive legs.
He would show Hilary whether he was a thief or not, give him time; he would make him eat his words, and he figured Hilary retracting and apologizing in the presence of the whole Board; Hilary apologized handsomely, and Northwick forgave him, while it was also passing through his mind that he must reduce the risks of railroad accident to a minimum, by shortening the time.
As one on a tower he watched for the approach of his enemy from the sea, but he did not neglect his two companions. For he was fighting already. When he seemed natural in his cordiality to his guest, when he spoke and laughed, when he apologized for the misfortune of the previous day, he was fighting. The battle with circumstances was joined. He must bear himself bravely in it.
A new automobile, in Chiltern's colours, with his crest on the panel, was panting beside the curb. "I meant to have had it this morning," he apologized as he handed her in, "but it wasn't ready in time." Honora heard him, and said something in reply.

Wiggate," apologized Pan. "I know you mean well. And I sure thank you." Wiggate did not answer, but he took something from his vest pocket, It was a lead bullet, slightly flattened.

I thanked him for his generosity, kissed the dust of obeisance, apologized for my boldness, and at the moment of taking my leave, added: "When the fane of the Caabah, at Mecca, became their object from a far distant land, pilgrims would hurry on to visit it for many farsangs. It behooves thee to put up with such as we are, for nobody will throw a stone at a tree that bears no fruit."
That's enough!" said Lydia. "I didn't need to be so violent about it, that's a fact," apologized Rankin. "But you're talking of people the way they ought to be," objected Lydia, apparently drawing again from a stock of inculcated arguments.
De Gex apologized to his visitor for not offering him a cigarette, remarking that the striking of a match might reveal their presence to anyone strolling in the grounds, for guests at dances frequently have that habit. "Indeed, after you have gone, Moroni, I am meeting the lady whom I mentioned, and shall walk with her outside here. I want to speak with her in private."
"I hit him!" cried the hunter, "but it wasn't a mortal wound. I'll come back and get him." "Please don't shoot again!" begged Ruth. "I won't, Miss, and I beg your pardon; but I really couldn't help it," he apologized.
