If you can't alter yourself, I can't alter myself, and supposing that I come along and bash you on the head and steal your purse, you can't blame me. You can only, on recovering consciousness, affectionately grasp my hand and murmur: 'Don't apologise, my dear fellow; we can't alter ourselves. This, you say, is absurd. It is. That is one of my innumerable points.
I know I am now treading upon thin ice. But I do not apologise in closing this part of my subject, for saying that the frightful outrage that is just going on in Europe, perhaps shows that the message of Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Peace, had been little understood in Europe, and that light upon it may have to be thrown from the East.
At last, when she could say no more, my dear maid said quietly: "What I have done, Hugh should have done long since. We are to live together, I trust, madam, for many years, and I love you well; but you have said things to me not easy to forget. I beg to insist that you apologise. For lighter things men kill one another. I await, madam, your excuses."
Frothingham remarked that this life, after all, much resembled that of other people; whereat Alma betrayed a serious annoyance, and the well-meaning lady had to apologise, to admit the absence of 'luxuries', the homeliness of their diet, the unmistakable atmosphere of plain living and high thinking. She remained for nearly a month, greatly enjoying herself.
"If you cared I should feel bound to apologise to you for the very rotten way you've been treated all round; as it is I give you my word not to take you in with me if I have another dip at Dan Levy." "But you're not seriously thinking of it, Raffles?" "I am if I see half a chance of squaring him short of wilful murder." "You mean a chance of settling his account against the Garlands?"
Miss Garston, I suppose I ought to apologise for being late, but we are such busy people here; every moment is of value; and though Gladys asked you to come early, I never thought you would be so good as to do so. Friendly people are scarce, are they not, Mr. Cunliffe? By the bye, holding up a taper finger loaded with sparkling rings, 'I have a scolding in store for you.
"I must apologise, Mr Gilpin, for not hearing you; but I was overcome, I believe, by the heat," he added, as he took the horse from which Arthur had just dismounted. As the stock-keeper unsaddled the animal, Arthur's eye fell on the open page of the book from which he had been reading. It was a superior edition of Horace, well used.
"Please please don't apologise," she begged him, with a sound that was meant for a laugh, but was in effect more like a sob. He turned towards her in his slow way. "I'm not apologising. Only you know I've taken something of a liberty, though, on my honour, it was well meant. If you can overlook that " "I shall never overlook it," she said tremulously.
Be quick, for we all want our breakfast." "Never mind making him apologise," said Smythe; "he's sunk quite low enough already." "It's his own doing," said Walter. "We can't have lies like his told without a blush at Saint Winifred's. Apologise he must and shall." "Don't do it," said Mackworth. "What!" said Henderson, "is that Mackworth speaking? Ah! I thought so Bliss isn't here!"
I keep using the word beautiful so often that I feel half inclined to apologise for it; but I cannot help it, though it is often quite inadequate to express the loveliness of some of the figures carved here; and so it happens surely with the face of this angel.
