I shall always be humiliated that I got scared out in the graveyard and didn't do it to you. It is going to be the regret of my life." "Truly, I'm sorry, sweetheart," he answered most contritely. "If I were to take my hat and go back to the gate and come in again properly and let you do it, would that make you feel any better?"
Herr Rosen bowed stiffly; and the two left him standing uncovered in the moonlight. "What is he doing here? What has he been saying to you?" the Barone demanded. Nora withdrew her hand from his arm. "Pardon me," said he contritely. "I have no right to ask you such questions." It was not long after midnight when the motor-boat returned to its abiding place.
"When I was a little girl a burglar went all through our house and carried off his clothes and he never knew it until the next morning. But you'll have to be careful at Mr. Talbot's, for he suffers horribly from insomnia." "They got any o' them fancy burglar alarms?" asked The Hopper as he concluded his examination of her sketches. "Oh, I forgot to tell you about that!" she cried contritely.
"Now I hurt you like that lady hurt me, ain't, Phares?" she said contritely. "But I didn't mean to hurt you, Phares, honest." "But you like me best," said David gaily. "You can't take that back, remember." She gave him a scornful look.

"Danny, I forgot them!" she apologised, and tweaking a black curl went to a bureau and produced a square cardboard box.

As the words left Miss Sonnot's lips she gazed at me with a half-frightened little air as if she regretted their utterance. "I beg your pardon, Mrs. Graham," she said contritely; "you must think I have taken leave of my senses. But I have heard so much about you." "From Mr. Bickett?" My head was whirling. I had never heard Jack speak the name of "Sonnot."
"Auntie," said Margaret contritely, "I can't go home without confessing, although I know it is a heinous offence to interrupt the kind of musing that goes with dying embers and faded roses in the small hours.
