He took Peter's hand, and then going to Harmony stood before her very erect. "I suppose I've said too much; I always do," he said contritely. "But you know the reason. Don't forget the reason, will you?" "I am only sorry." He bent over and kissed her hand lingeringly. It was a tragic moment for him, poor lad! He turned and went blindly out the door and down the dark stone staircase.
You really must think I'm awful!" cried the poor young man contritely. "I do beg your pardon, Mr. McRae. It really must have sounded shocking to you. But, well I did you ever meet a young any one whom you knew at first sight was the one person in all the world for you?" His voice sank.
"When I wish to be kissed," she said brazenly, "I usually find a way of letting men know it." "You are speaking heresies," he said slowly. "That is not true." "It is the truth, John Markham.

"Na, he wasna wanting to see the minister."
Ann, too, was looking across the river at the girls who had given Miss Osborne right of way. Two very red spots burned in Ann's cheeks and her eyes, also, were feverish. "I suppose I shouldn't have spoken that way to your friend," she began, but less contritely than defiantly. Katie flushed. She had been prepared to understand and be kind.
She had much ado to keep pace with him. By and by she halted by a clump of willows and seated herself, announcing hypocritically that she was tired. He heard, and came back contritely.
