A hundred authors make compilations in order to have bread, and twenty pamphleteers make excerpts from these compilations, or apology for them, or criticism and satire of them, also with the idea of having bread, because they have no other trade. All these persons go on Friday to the police lieutenant of Paris to ask permission to sell their rubbish.
The present moment is our ain, The neist we never saw! How like you my philosophy? Give my best compliments to Mrs. B., and believe me to be, my dear Sir, yours most truly, ROBERT BURNS. LXXVII. To MR. WILLIAM CRUIKSHANK. MAUCHLINE, March 3rd, 1788. My dear Sir, Apologies for not writing are frequently like apologies for not singing the apology better than the song.
His apology was extremely composed, but Nigel was looking a little excited, a little anxious, was begging forgiveness with his eyes for all the trouble of the morning. She was not going to seem to give it him yet; a man on the tenter-hooks was a man in the perfectly right place. So she was suave, and avoided his glance without seeming to avoid it.
If the last words were ironical, the irony was too grave and ceremonious to be obtrusive, Pennroyal was fain to return Sir Edward's bow with the best grace he could muster.

"I'm of the impression that it's me who's to blame, though I don't know what I've done," said Frank, immediately.
Sir George asked the earl and Lord Stanley to remain, and in the presence of the company who had witnessed the insult, he in the humblest manner made abject apology for the treatment his distinguished guests had received at the hands of his daughter.
"Grant" Miss Georgie put a defiant emphasis upon it "is doing all he can to get to the bottom of that jumping business. There's something crooked about it, and he knows it, and is trying to " "I know all that." Evadna interrupted without apology.
Lady Olivia thinks it a sufficient excuse for abandoning her husband, to say, that she found "his soul was not in unison with hers." She thinks it an adequate apology for a criminal attachment, to tell you that "the net was thrown over her heart before she felt her danger: that all its struggles were to no purpose, but to exhaust her strength." If she did not feel her danger, she prepared it.
