The woman, comprehending the glance which accompanied the words, though not the words themselves, nodded yes. "Here is Mr. Shackford come to see you, Torrini," Peters said. The man slowly unclosed his eyes; they were unnaturally brilliant and dilated, and seemed to absorb the rest of his features. "I didn't want him." "Let by-gones be by-gones, Torrini," said Richard, approaching the bedside.
D it all Teresa Tita! see here," he said with sudden energy. "I swear to God it's all right. I'm willing to let by-gones be by-gones and take a new deal. You shall come back as if nothing had happened, and take your old place as before. I don't mind doing the square thing, all round. If that's what you mean, if that's all that stands in the way, why, look upon the thing as settled.
Lindsay, folding her close in his arms kissed her again and again. "Never let me hear you call me anything else, Ellen. You are mine own now my own child my own little daughter. You shall do just what pleases me in everything, and let by-gones be by-gones. And now lie down there and rest daughter; you are trembling from head to foot: rest and amuse yourself in any way you like till I return."
Sorry to offend an authoress; but I decline to read your book, and, more than that, I forbid you the subject entirely for the next thirty years, at least. Let by-gones be by-gones." That eventful morning Mr. Rutland called and proposed to Ruperta. She declined politely, but firmly.

'Here comes master Hey wood, anyhow, said the old woman, as Richard, leaving Lady at the gate, came striding up the walk in his great brown boots; 'and I pray you, sir Rowland, to let by-gones be by-gones, for my sake if not for your own, lest thou bring the vengeance of general Fairfax upon my poor house.

Section 49 Peter went to Room 427 of the American House and there was McGivney waiting for him. McGivney said nothing about any suspicion of Peter, nor did Peter say anything he understood that by-gones were to be by-gones.

He said that he hoped by-gones would be by-gones; that he had been a wild boy, but that a career now opened upon him of which he hoped to prove worthy. "There was a time, Uncle Lawrence," he said, "when I despised your warning; now I thank you for it." Lawrence held out his hand to his nephew: "Honesty is the best policy, at least, if nothing more," he said, smiling.
But now all this nonsense had sobered down, and nothing could be detected beyond a sly glance, or a squeeze of the hand now and then; yet we often quizzed them about by-gones, and declared that engaged pairs were insufferable we could always find them out among a hundred! But the couple I allude to are real turtledoves, and yet I defy you to find them out!
You put me on my good behavior have I not behaved well?" "Yes, better than I have. I was not referring to you personally, but to certain memories." "We agreed to let by-gones be by-gones." "But others are not parties to this agreement, and every reference to the affair is odious to me."

Livery-stable keepers, complaisant and cordial, were continually driving around the corner into my yard, with a tremendous flourish and style, chirking up old by-gones, drawing newly painted buggies, patched-up phaetons, two-seated second-hand "Democrats," high wagons, low chaises, just for me to try.
