"Yes! Take me away from here anywhere at once! Look, Jim," she went on feverishly, "let bygones be bygones I won't peach! I won't tell on you though I had it in my heart when you gave me the go-by just now! I'll do anything you say go to your farthest hiding-place work for you only take me out of this cursed place." Her passionate pleading stung even through his selfishness and loathing.
Molly was still half asleep, thinking of the orchard at Chatsworth and of what Professor Green's bungalow would look like among the apple trees. Her thoughts came back to the ship with a bounce when she heard the woman say: "Tom, why do you avoid me? Can't you let bygones be bygones?" "That is exactly what I am doing, Mrs. Huntington: letting bygones be bygones.
On his second Sunday at home, to his father's great surprise, he attended church, and after contemplating Miss Nugent's back hair for an hour and a half came home and spoke eloquently and nobly on "burying hatchets," "healing old sores," "letting bygones be bygones," and kindred topics. "I never take much notice of sermons myself," said the captain, misunderstanding. "Sermon?" said his son.
"It is the duty of every true Christian to let bygones be bygones and a downright flying in the face of Providence, as you may say, to do otherwise, when good customers, whose money you're sure of, are so scarce.

Why did Iskender never come to church nowadays? why had he not been to visit the ladies? why had he refused their offer of employment in the house, which would probably have led to better things, perhaps to his appointment as assistant master in one of the Mission schools? Even now it was not too late to reconsider; they, on their side, were quite willing to forget bygones.
He ought to 'a' let well enough alone, bein' as Het was willin' to let bygones be bygones. But not him.
"By-gones are by-gones," replied the other, "and let's hope that Mr. Gering will say so too." "Haven't you told him, sir?" "Never a word but I'll send for him now, and bygones let it be." Bucklaw nodded, and drummed the table with his tiger. He guessed why Phips had not told Gering, and he foresaw trouble.
