Yet scarce could a consciousness of guilt itself, wound me so forcibly, so keenly, as your suspecting I am guilty!" "Again, then," cried Cecilia, "shall I subject myself to a scene of such disgrace and horror? No, never! The punishment of my error shall at least secure its reformation.
"I thank God I fell in with you," he said with feeling. "Just talking to you has helped me a whole lot!" Archie, his guilt heavy upon him, walked up Michigan Avenue beside the man he had shot. They breathed deep of the tonic air of the North as they left the sleeper.
When conscience speaks, sophistications about temptations or companions, or necessity, or the more learned excuses which philosophers make about environment and heredity as weakening responsibility and diminishing guilt, shrivel to nothing.

The silent, moonlighted, solitary road, how it contrasted with the many-eddied whirl of pleasure from whose roar and music, lights, diamonds and colors I had just extricated myself. The sight of lonely nature at such an hour, acts like a sudden sedative. The madness and guilt of my pursuit struck me with a momentary compunction and horror.
How well I remember, when my smart and passion began to cool, how wicked I began to feel! I sat listening for a long while, but there was not a sound.
