So I up and went straight home, and walked right up before old marse, and took off my hat and told him as how I was willin' to forgive and forget, and let by-gones be by-gones like a Christian gentleman, if he would do the same." "And of course your master at once accepted such magnanimous terms." "Who, he? Why, Marse Lyon! he looked jes as if he'd a-knocked me down!
She has few friends in London and certainly none who can put her up. I am desperate, and just wondering if you would let by-gones be by-gones, and receive her at Stoke Revel. She promised her mother she would do this and such a promise is sacred, don't you think? It's such an old story now, Cynthia's American marriage, and no fault of Robinette's, poor dear child.
"That's what I want so much that I want you to go on. Peace! I trust in God we shall both have it one day, SOMEWHEN, as you say. Have you got this peace so plentifully now that you are satisfied as you are? You will never get it but by going on." "I do not think there is any good got in stirring a puddle. Let by-gones be by-gones.
A few years, and a severe cough and pain in his side compelled him to be an idler for weeks together, and Mag had thus a reminder of by-gones. She cared for him only as a means to subserve her own comfort; yet she nursed him faithfully and true to mar- riage vows till death released her. He became the victim of consumption.

Let by-gones be by-gones. And what do I get? Why, you call me a thief, when you know very well I didn't do it.
It seemed to be tacitly understood that antecedents were not to be dragged to light in this new world, and that "by-gones should be by-gones." As to myself, it never occurred to my inexperience to suspect that a man might be dishonorable, even criminal, though he had the outside bearing of a gentleman." "Did he propose to relieve you of the necessity of keeping boarders?" "No.
"Well, yes," he said, still smiling, "I fancy that you ought to remember Hamilton, senior, and remember him very well, too. But, anyhow, by-gones are by-gones. You weren't alone in your misery, Carrington. He beat me, too, several times." Hamilton smiled now, but wryly.
"You've never done me the least harm; but quite the other way. It's as good as physic, and a deal better than some physic, to hear what other people think of us, even if it ain't all of it quite true to the life." "Ah! But I did you injustice, Thomas." "Never mind if you did. You never said half as much evil of me as I knew of myself. But let by-gones be by-gones.
He would see that dad was not Handy Mike. It was on Jim's lips to speak to Bob, that Bob might share with him the sight of Danny O'Flannigan's discomfiture. He longed to display this overwhelming proof of the falseness of Bob's assertion that dad would sell his vote; but best let by-gones be by-gones; he had punished Bob for that, and, after all, Handy Mike was Bob's father.
They made no account of by-gones in their talk, but she had never been so brilliant, or prompted him to so many of the effronteries which were the spirit of his humor.
