But, at the same time, I ask your pardon for having spoken to you like that as though you'd done me a wrong. And if I've been too cruel, if the memory rankles and makes you uncomfortable, you must keep away from me as long as you like. It won't be for ever, I'm sure. In spite of everything I'm sure that we shall always be friends.
The loss of Schlesien, pure highway robbery, thrice-doleful loss and disgrace, rankles incurable in the noble heart, pious to its Fathers withal, and to their Heritages in the world, we shall see with what issues, for the next twenty years, to that 'BOSE MANN, unpardonably 'wicked man' of Brandenburg. And indeed, to the end of her life, she never could get over it.
As I write these feeble words about it, a devil's shaft of envy that was shot all against my will into my heart this morning, still, after a whole day, rankles and festers there. I have been on my knees with it again and again; I have stood and looked into an open grave to-day; but there it is sucking at my heart's blood still, like a leech of hell. Who can understand his errors?
The news of the world is imparted to him. He asks the padre if the Gringos can ever reach the Pacific. "As sure as those stars slope to the west," says the priest, pointing to Orion, gleaming jewel-like in the clear skies of the Californian evening. The don muses. This prophecy rankles in his heart.

We were busy 'doing' the country, and never chanced to be at Biarritz at the dinner hour. During that week I scarcely saw Sir Richard Maistre. Another little circumstance that rankles especially now would have been ridiculous except for the way things have ended. It isn't easy to tell it was so petty and I am so ashamed.
"Can we fight in this storm, sir, even if we manage to release our sailors?" asked Jack, very dismally. "Not what we can, but what we must do," growled the stubborn British mariner. "The shame of striking my colors rankles like a wound. God helping me, we shall wipe out that stain if we drown in a sinking ship. I talk to you as a man, Master Cockrell, for such you have proven yourself.
When you rub them they only break in pieces, and every piece inflicts a fresh wound on the flesh where it rankles. Some of the species have large, stout prickles; some have clusters of irritating hairs at measured distances; and some rejoice in both means of defence at once, scattered impartially over their entire surface.
Its remembrance rankles still in the bosoms of millions of the countrymen of those brave men who lost the day.
Besides, he couldn't have women interfering with him every moment. How inconsiderate men are! They drop a word or a phrase they do not know how cruel it is or give a look they do not know how cold it is and are gone without a second thought about it; but it sinks into the woman's heart and rankles there.
