"This alters the whole thing," he said. "You can't make her go back when you know this. Give her another chance. She wants to turn over a new leaf."

"You'll let me go?" "No.
"He repents bitterly, Madame," said good M. Larrey; "he weeps over his fault, and bravely awaits his punishment, esteeming it a just reparation of the insult to you. But he is one of the best officers of the army; he is beloved and esteemed; he has saved the life of thousands, and his distinguished talents are the only fortune his family possesses. What will become of them if he is shot?"
Not that I would judge him, or take vengeance upon him; and I must forgive him and receive him as my brother when he repents. But until he does turn from the evil of his ways, and does his best at making restitution, I can do a jolly good job at 'contemning' him." The blue south shore of the lake soon became visible.
"I am exhilarated to know that you watched me. Yes, at a bull-fight the primitive man in me has its way, although I have the grace to be ashamed of myself afterward. In that I am at least one degree more civilized than your race, which never repents."
"I look upon a periodical repentance as great hypocrisy," d'Arthez said solemnly; "repentance becomes a sort of indemnity for wrongdoing.

"You're kinda worked up, Miz' Ring.
'I cannot feel that he deserves you should worry yourself about him, said Mrs. Edmonstone. 'If you knew all 'I do know all, mamma, if you mean about Laura. Surely you must forgive. Think how he repents. What, have you not had his letter? Then how did you know? 'I learned it from Laura herself. Her trouble at his illness revealed it. Do you say he has written?
"It's so long ago now, and he was such a boy at the time; and he repents it bitterly I'm sure he repents it. You promised you'd try to forgive him. For Cleer's sake, dear heart, you must keep your promise." Trevennack knit his brows. "What does he mean, then, by dogging my steps?" he cried. "What does he mean by coming after me up to London like this? What does he mean by tempting me?
But no doubt he would have calmed himself at last, as he so often did before, had not some one who desired to pour oil on the flames met him in the fore-court of the palace. I learned all this from Bai's wife; for she, too, repents what she did to injure you; her husband used every effort to save you.
If she repents and she will repent, poor creature thou must pardon her." "Never!" cried Aunt Priscilla, "not on my death-bed!"

"I haven't sinned against the Lord as she's sinned against me.
