But as Pao-yue had so hurt Tai-yue's feelings, the two cousins saw nothing whatever of each other, and conscience-stricken, despondent and unhappy, as he was at this time could he have had any inclination to be present at the plays? Lin Tai-yue had got, a couple of days back, but a slight touch of the sun and naturally there was nothing much the matter with her.
"I haven't meant to," returned Ruth, conscience-stricken, as she remembered how long it had been since the gate of the old-fashioned garden had swung on its hinges for her. A quiet happiness had settled down upon Ruth and the old perturbed spirit was gone, but Miss Ainslie was subtly different. "I feel as if something was going to happen," she said. "Something nice?" "I don't know."
They were all asleep in the room to the right of the stairs the two little boys in one bed, the two little girls in the other, each pair huddled together against the cold, like dormice in a nest. Then she looked, conscience-stricken, at the untidiness of the room.
Then she drew back, frightened, into the sombre library, conscience-stricken that she should have yielded to this temptation then, when Clarence She dared not follow the thought, but she saw the light skiff at the mercy of the angry river and the dark night. This had haunted her.
Wiggins, I'm afraid that some day thinking too much will be the death of you! What time does Mr. Gollop show up in the morning?" "He's usually here when I come, sir," replied the perturbed and conscience-stricken Wiggins. "Well, to-morrow morning when he comes send him in to me, but Wiggins!

"I'll bet you could put up some fight, if you had to," he commented. Swan grinned good-humouredly, glanced conscience-stricken at the covered figure on the ground and straightened his face decorously.
She was leaning over the banister, listening to what Stone was saying. Suddenly, even as I looked, she ran upstairs and disappeared. Was she safe? Could she escape? Perhaps by a back staircase, or could she manage to elude us and slip away somehow? Then I was conscience-stricken. Was I conniving at the escape of a guilty person? Did I want to do this? I didn't know.
"N-no, sir," came the scarcely audible response. Had the boy looked at the kindly face, he would have seen that the deep set eyes were a-twinkle with suppressed merriment, but he was too conscience-stricken to do anything but slink from the office to the school yard.
Frisbie went on to say that nothing but the terrors of death induced him to become a party to that base conspiracy against the honor of a noble lady, and that he had suffered almost as much remorse for his crimes against Lady Vincent as for his murder of Ailsie Dunbar. All this Mr. Godfree took down in short-hand from the lips of the conscience-stricken man.
Soon did the indignant and conscience-stricken Duchess of Bedford hear, in the Sanctuary, that the fell wizard she had saved from the clutches of Bungey was preparing the most dreadful, infallible, and murtherous instruments of war against the possible return of her son- in-law!
