'At the time; but think what it would be not to be able to remember happy times without remorse. 'Then you do mean to recollect, Mary? 'I trust to bring myself to remember rightly and wisely. I shall try to set it for a reward for myself to cure me of repinings, said Mary, looking into his face, as if the remembrance of it must bring cheerfulness and refreshment.
But he believes that it is solved from all eternity; that God knows, God loves, and God rules; that the righteous and faithful man may know enough of the solution to know his duty, to see his way, to justify God; and as much as he knows he tells. There were in that diseased sensitive cripple no vain repinings, no moon-struck howls, no impious cries against God: "Why hast thou made me thus?"
The marriage ceremony. Philip abandons Mary. Her repinings. Her death. When Queen Mary ascended the throne, she was a maiden lady not far from thirty-five years of age. She was cold, austere, and forbidding in her appearance and manners, though probably conscientious and honest in her convictions of duty.
By the time Amy came in, Jo was able to take her part in the family jubilation, not quite as heartily as usual, perhaps, but without repinings at Amy's good fortune.

There were moments, indeed, when Mark would have gladly yielded one-half of the advantages he actually possessed, to have a good spring of living water. Then he quelled the repinings of his spirit at this privation, by endeavouring to recall how many blessings were left at his command, compared to the wants and sufferings of many another shipwrecked mariner of whom he had read or heard.
"Enough! You have made your decision. Henceforward let me hear no repinings, no hypocritical regrets. And now, order your horse, gallop back as fast as you can to the neighbourhood of Hallgrove, and show yourself foremost amongst those who seek for Lionel Dale." "Yes, yes; I will obey you I will shake off this miserable hesitation. I will make my nature iron, as you have made yours."
Having no social connections, she came gradually to make a friend of her singing-mistress.
