Perhaps we ought to apologise for thus dragging the gallant captain into fiction, but we trust he will find that, in regard to his own particular doings, we have stuck pretty closely to fact. We are back again in Hong-Kong in the pagoda with our old friends seated comfortably round their little table enjoying a good supper.
Fortunately for Bosher, the political excitement at Willoughby had quite worn away, so that no one now felt it his duty to execute the sentence of the law upon him and, after being made to apologise on his knees to each of the company in turn, he was solemnly let off. "You see," said Parson, returning to the point, "we've been up before Parrett twice this term; that's the mischief.
Whether our captors, should we be overtaken, would venture to treat the English on board the Falcon in the same manner was doubtful; at the same time, it was too probable that they would do so first and apologise afterwards. As to offering any resistance, that would certainly be useless. Master Clough especially entreated that they would not.
Holymead and endeavoured to explain and apologise, but the K.C. assured him that there was nothing to apologise for. He went over to the corner of the smoking room, where the visitor who had caused so much perturbation was waiting for him. "Well, Kemp, what do you want?" There was nothing in his manner to indicate that he was put out by Mr. Kemp's appearance.
I apologise to you all, and if you say go on as we are, I will go on because I feel I ought to have kicked before. But I do so under protest and feeling like a thief. I suggest that Harremann take Liebold's place. Awfully sorry about it, Liebold, and I apologise to you. I can't tell you how sorry I am, boys, but that's how it is with me."
Sanchia made herself inaccessible, and Mrs. Benson agonised. To apologise for her son had been as futile as to make excuses for death; but she tried it. "You'll overlook the partiality of a mother, Miss Percival? What am I to do? It's not that I want him to lap syrup from a spoon far from that. Idleness leads to impiety, and impiety anywhere, from Tattersal's to the public, we all know.
On the next morning there came to him a note from the cottage, such a pretty note! so penitent, so full of remorse, and, which was better still, so laden with disappointment, that he forgave her. I hardly know how to apologise to you, after having told you that I am always at home on Thursdays; and I was at home yesterday when you called.
"My Dearest Tom, You must not be angry with me for leaving this trifle it is a trifle compared with the amount of gold I would give you if I had it. But I need not apologise; the spirit of love in which it is given demands that it shall be unhesitatingly received in the same spirit.
"And you go alone?" I asked him. "You will have no companions to join you?" "I shall have guides," he answered, and relapsed into meditative silence. Presently I ventured another question: "You go on business, perhaps not on pleasure?" He turned his melancholy eyes on mine. "Do I look as if I were traveling for pleasure's sake?" he asked gently. I felt rebuked, and hastened to apologise.
"Take him back, Tom," Polly called from the entrance, when she learned that Bingo was waiting, "and bring Barbarian. I'm not going on to-night. Eloise is going to ride in my place." This was the second time to-day that Bingo had been led away without going into the ring. Something in his big, wondering eyes made Polly follow him and apologise. He was very proud, was Bingo, and very conscientious.
