He's forgiven me over and over, but he won't forgive me this time." "He'll forgive you anything, Mim," Blount assured her, "for the sake of getting you safe back.

Prince Charles bore his good fortune with moderation; he prohibited all rejoicings for the victory he had obtained; the wounded soldiers were treated with humanity; and the officers were sent into Fife and Angus, where they were left at liberty on their parole, which the greater part of them shamefully broke in the sequel. From this victory the pretender reaped manifold and important advantages.

The hearse-driver in the fourth story, who at other times was so gentle in his cups, would beat his wife shamefully, and the two lay about in their den drinking and fighting in self-defence. And Vinslev's devilish flute was to blame when Johnsen vainly bewailed his miserable life and ended it under the sewer-grating.

"You treat us shamefully," he informed her, "upon my word! But I'm coming to call." "Do," said Alison. Hodder caught her eye again, and this time he was sure that she surprised in him a certain disdain of Mr. Atterbury's zeal. Her smile was faint, yet unmistakable. He resented it.

"All that a man need think of," said Jock; "as long as mother and Babie are comfortable, we can do for ourselves very well." "Ourselves!" said Armine, bitterly.

It was but too apparent that they had been insultingly, shamefully, disgracefully deceived.

"We had cut the dyke in three places," said he; "but left it most shamefully for want of commandment." Poor Koppen Loppen whose blunders on former occasions had caused so much disaster was now fortunate enough to expiate them by a soldier's death. Admiral Haultain had, as we have seen, been drowned at the commencement of the action.
