"Then I take my chances. As I said, I will wait for her. She is still very young, and I should feel conscience-smitten to rob your father. Sometime you may want to bring the woman you love to the old home, and then it will not be so hard. I could keep true to her the whole world over; and if she promises, she will keep true to me." Cary Adams was deeply moved. Such devotion ought to win a reward.
"Rose, Rose," Elsie said, reprovingly; "let me hear no more such remarks, or I shall send you from the table." Lulu had appeared in their midst, feeling humble and contrite, and had been conscience-smitten at sight of her mamma's pale face; but the sneer on Betty's face, the cold, averted looks of Edward and Zoe, and then Rosie's taunt roused her quick temper to almost a white heat.

Perhaps she was conscience-smitten for deserting the little one, for she returned in plain sight, though at some distance.
She could not make it quite her own, and she tried again and again, like a faithful parrot. Then of a sudden the human power and pity of it flashed upon her, and she reddened, conscience-smitten, though no one was by to hear. She set her dish upon the table with indignant emphasis.
If you were braver and here she paused, conscience-smitten. 'Do I, indeed, lack courage? inquired Mr. Archer of himself. 'Courage, the footstool of the virtues, upon which they stand?

She rode down the river path through the forest, happy after many days of wretchedness.
