"I fear I was, papa." "What good did the indulgence of your hasty spirit do you?" "No good, but harm," frankly confessed Tom. "I hope it has helped me to some notion of patience, though, for the future, papa." "Ay," said Mr. Channing. "Hope on, strive on, work on, and trust on!
All this time, however, we speak on what you yourself admit to be a side issue." "You are right," Seaman confessed. "Very well, then, listen. A great moment has arrived for you, my friend." "Explain if you please." "I shall do so. You have seen proof, during the last few days, that you have an organisation behind you to whom money is dross. It is the same in diplomacy as in war.
Helen enjoyed the settling very much, and when it was finished it was hard telling which was the more pleased, she or good Aunt Betsy, who, having confessed in a general kind of way at a sewing society that she did go to a playhouse, and was not so very sorry either, except as the example might do harm, had nothing on her conscience now, nothing to fear from New York, and was proportionately happy.
Platen cultivated style, polished and revised his lines with as great care as did his arch-enemy Heine, and it is only a confession of lack of ear to refuse him the name of poet. No one who reads his Polish Songs can help feeling that they are the products of fire and inspiration. It must be confessed, however, that there is in Platen a remarkable lack of inner experience.
The trackers that the headman had given us, now confessed that they did not know an inch of the Veddah country, into which we had arrived by crossing the river, and they refused to go a step farther. Here, was a 'regular fix! as the Americans would express it.
Margaret and Miss Penny and Graeme heard it from their back seat among the school-children, and found it good. There were not very many visitors there. Such as there were felt a momentary surprise at two English people choosing to get married in Sark, though, if it had been put to them, they must have confessed that there was no lovelier place in the world to be married in.
So far Louis of Nassau and his twelve apostles. It must be confessed that, whatever might be thought of the justice, there could be but one opinion as to the boldness of these views. The Duchess was furious. If the language held in April had been considered audacious, certainly this new request was, in her own words, "still more bitter to the taste and more difficult of digestion."
There's no necessity to ruin her life, is there?" "How did you know it was Garry who did the shooting?" asked the girl. "The minute you confessed," answered the detective quietly, "I knew that you were doing it to shield someone. You could have had no possible motive for shielding either of the other two men under suspicion. I knew that it must be your brother.
The constitution of 1791 established homogeneous powers which corresponded among themselves, and thus reciprocally restrained each other; still, it must be confessed, the royal authority was too subordinate to popular power. It is never otherwise: sovereignty, from whatever source derived, gives itself a feeble counterpoise when it limits itself.
When you read this I, who have wronged and deceived you beyond words, will be where I can no longer hurt you. Forgive me, for by this act I am a confessed embezzler and forger. I could not face you and tell you of the double life I was leading. So I have sent you away and have gone away myself and may the Lord have mercy on the soul of Your devoted husband, CARLTON DUNLAP.
