And then she remembered that she had heard nobody go down the stone stairs.
"Blame silly. Might 'ave a bit more respec' for a man's nerves." Harrison Smith cursed him fluently as he led the way to a Ford car standing in the yard. "Lot of use to me you'd have been if the splits had got you. It's a big job we're tackling and I don't want it spoilt by dam-fool sneak thief tricks." Freddie Dirk apologised and explained his distaste for idleness.
I went at once to Sofya Semyonovna's, for I wanted to know what was going on. I looked round, I saw the coffin, the children crying, and Sofya Semyonovna trying them on mourning dresses. No sign of you. I apologised, came away, and reported to Avdotya Romanovna. So that's all nonsense and you haven't got a girl; the most likely thing is that you are mad.
Leary this, and now as he bade her farewell she was saying it once more in practically the same words, when Mrs. Carroway's coloured maid, Blanche, touched him on the arm.

He apologised before he left. "You're a man, Hamilton," he said. "All you Canadians are men. I've some things to tell when I get home." The boy could not go with them. There would be canals to swim across, and there was his empty sleeve and weakness. He would never swim again, he thought.
Ned apologised, and explained that he had had some difficulty in finding the house. "Umph! Your uncle tells me that you're a sharp fellow, and write a good hand. Have you ever been in an office before?" "No, sir. Up till now I have been at college. My uncle is rather partial, I fear, and may have spoken too highly of me. I think, however, that my hand is not a bad one. At least it is legible."
