It had not struck him that this good news was that of the death of a friend, of Roland's best friend; and the old man himself had suddenly forgotten the intimacy he had but just spoken of with so much conviction. Only Mme. Roland and her sons still looked mournful.
"I say, though," Beth exclaimed, seeing him about to depart, "where's that picture-book?" "Oh!" he ejaculated. "I had forgotten. But no, Beth, it would never do. If I give it to you now, it would look like a bribe; and I'm sure you would never accept a bribe." "I should think not," said Beth. And it was long years before she understood the mean adroitness of this last evasion.
These ideas, long forgotten, long relegated to the back shop of my brain, issue from it without my interfering, and present themselves to my memory, which makes vain efforts to recall them. External objects have not the power to form ideas in me, for one does not give oneself what one has not; I am too sensible that it is not I who give them to me, for they are born without my orders.
"No not by a good deal less than half." "But suppose something should happen that you couldn't finish paying for it?" "Well, then I've had a mighty good time doing it for the other fellow." That was not to be forgotten.

But suddenly an angel appeared with a flaming sword and drove him out of the churchyard away to Scaurnose where the judge was sitting.
The next morning she would seem to have forgotten all about it, and would spill her bread and milk by the fire as if nothing had happened. I suppose we hardly knew, at the time, how large a part of the sunshine of our daily lives was contributed by dear little Annie.
There was no time to reload the piece, and indeed, neither of the boys knew where to look for ammunition. More enraged than ever, the bear now advanced again, until only the fire was between him and his intended victims. He had now forgotten about the fox meat, and thought only of getting at the human being who had injured him.
There Pentaur found his old friend Gagabu, who wept with delight at his safety. All that his master had accused him of seemed to be forgotten. Ameni had him clothed in a fresh white robe, he was never tired of looking at him, and over and over again clapped his hand upon his shoulder, as if he were his own son that had been lost and found again.
