"I'm very sorry," I said, feeling quite ashamed that I had it, he was so much annoyed. "No, no," he said, relenting a little, "do not be sorry marry. Marry quickly. Then there may be recovery."
"I pass easily over the top of this sand, while you O, how you do wallow! Ha, ha, ha! I never saw anything like it." With such remarks, she beguiled his way, until relenting, she at last waved her staff again above her head, and the Prince found himself by her side, on solid ground.
Taylor had ranged up against her, and almost unconsciously she found herself standing by the desk facing the officer. She searched the superintendent's inflexible face to see if it gave any sign of relenting. Foyle was calm, inscrutable, business-like.
Stanton thought he detected signs of relenting in Von Barwig's voice. "I suppose there's no use my telling you how sorry I am for " "Sorry, sorry!" almost screamed Von Barwig. "Does that bring back anything? Does that put sixteen years in my hands? Damn the empty phrase 'I am sorry' when there is no use in being sorry!" "I have repented, Anton!

He was small and bent, and perhaps not actively strong; yet he was as tough as an old yew-tree, and as crusty as an old jackdaw.
