He dared not strike into the wood again he dared not advance upon that yellow sea exhausted and unprovisioned: it was his wisdom to skirt the wood; and so he trampled along weakly weakly. This liberty to starve is horrible! Is it, John Dillaway? What, have you no compunctions at that word starve? no bitter, dreadful recollections?
The whole Happy Family agreed unanimously that it should be so, except Slim, who yielded a bit unwillingly. Till midnight and after, they bent heads over the plat and made plans for the future and took no thought whatever of the difficulties that might lie before them. For the coming colony they had no pity, and for the balked schemes of the Homeseekers' Syndicate no compunctions whatever.
On the other hand, it is evident that Shelley regarded the unfortunate girl with feelings of deep commiseration; and I know that he not only pitied her, but felt strong compunctions for the share which his own mistaken conduct at the beginning, even more than at the end, had had in drawing her aside from what would have been her natural course in ordinary life.

To these and other frantic proposals, uttered in the intervals of combat, which was still maintained, with occasional demonstrations on the part of the enemy of advancing to a third assault, Nathan replied only by representing the certain death they would bring upon all, especially "the poor helpless women," whose condition, with the reflection that he had brought them into it, seemed ever to dwell upon his mind, producing feelings of remorseful excitement not inferior even to the compunctions which he expressed at every shot discharged by him at the foe.
Of all the events of his post-Corsican life, Buonaparte need surely never have felt compunctions for Vendémiaire. After four signal reverses in his career, he now enters on a path strewn with glories.
His hesitations and doubts, all that hampered his free will and purpose, whether it were the sorrows and humiliations of the past or the compunctions and demurs of the present dropped away from him, as unworthy not of himself, but of Elizabeth.
