If this be 'lady-like, then, indeed, I penitently cry 'peccavi! and promise that in future you shall not have cause to complain of me." "Pooh, pooh, child! What ails you? Muriel has known Ulpian all her life, and looks upon him now as her father. He has petted her since she was a little girl, and loves her almost as well as if she were his child, instead of his ward.
She wasn't my friend, but the moment did not seem opportune for saying so. "I saw you talking a good deal to her yesterday," I said. Mr. Mafferton twisted his moustache with a look of guilty satisfaction which I found hard to bear. "Must I cry Peccavi?" he said. "You see you were so er preoccupied.
It is a matter of regret that this cry of peccavi was not published till all the chief literary contemporaries of Scaliger were in their graves. As it did not appear till 1621, the men of his own time were not able to enjoy the shout of laughter over his discomfiture which would surely have gone up from Paris and Strasburg and Basel and Zurich.
And he seemed so sorry and spoke so nobly that the least I could do was to let him kiss my hand." "You did right, Juanita. I was hasty; I cry peccavi and ask your forgiveness. And you really give up this expedition for my sake, dear friend? Thanks, a thousand thanks." "No; I absolve you from your promise. But I shall go, all the same." Carmen looked very grave.
In answer the writer can only cry "Peccavi," and, having done so, will sin boldly again by giving one more anecdote. The story concerns Savage, but Steele is the hero of it, and as winsome Dick is always welcome, we may take leave of the other Dick in a pleasant way. Mr. Savage came as he had promised, found the chariot at the door, and Sir Richard waiting for him and ready to go out.

They may have had minor disagreements with the Old Country, they may have resented the last lingering parental attitude of the Motherland, but let any one touch as an enemy that Motherland and that enemy had well have cried, "Peccavi!" on the moment. Above all, the neutrals wondered about India.
I shall at least come in for my share of the odium in entertaining such fancies: indeed I shall expect the charge of entertaining them exclusively, and shall scarce expect to find a single fellow-confessor, unless it be some pure and innocent-thoughted girl, who will say peccavi to here and there a single rainbow fancy.
Oh, confess that, my lord! confess it ere it be too late!" "I will confess all about the Indians, and the gold, and Tita too, Fray; peccavi, peccavi only five minutes, senors, five little minutes' grace, while I confess to the good Fray!" and he grovelled on the deck. "I will have no such mummery where I command," said Amyas, sternly. "I will be no accomplice in cheating Satan of his due."
Tom Biggot, the boxer, went over to Paris, and stood in the ring with one of their dancing pugilists, and the first round he got a crack on the chin from the rogue's foot; the second round he caught him by the lifted leg, and punished him till pec was all he could say of peccavi. Fight the straightforward fight. Hang flan!
Indeed, I think Monsieur Jefferson and Monsieur de Lafayette, in spite of my defense, which I now remove, have had a political debate," and she snapped her bright eyes and nodded her withered old head severely at the two gentlemen.
