Count Casimir had reached that stage where drunkenness takes on a kind of gravity, of regretfulness. He thought a little, then began his story. I regret that I cannot reproduce more perfectly its archaic flavor. "When the grapes begin to color in Antinea's garden, I shall be sixty-eight. It is very sad, my dear boy, to have sowed all your wild oats.
On hearing of this sudden change of plans Robin expressed a polite regretfulness, but the General looked at him with twinkling eyes he and Robin had come to be on the best of terms of late and bade him be off to Dublin without any confounded hypocrisy about it. "You've been wishing me anywhere, my lad, this last week or two except aboard the Seagull," he said.
Doubtless it was she who told him these things that dreary afternoon, whilst the yellow withered leaves rained upon them. However, he could not remember the words that they had spoken; her pale smile, her young face, still so charming though already dimmed by regretfulness for life, alone remained present with him.

Well, that was only an episode.
If anyone, after accepting this symbol, and after having made the public promise, then went back on his good intentions, either out of weak regretfulness, or out of domestic affection, such a person, according to the Pope's decree, would be considered everywhere an outlaw, unless he came to his senses and fulfilled the obligation which he had foully laid aside.
"Ah, as their father is dead I won't go on with such as that. How could I forget?" "Do you care so very much about hurting folks' feelings?" observed Henchard with a half sneer. "You do, I know especially mine!" "I am sorry if I have hurt yours, sir," replied Donald, standing still, with a second expression of the same sentiment in the regretfulness of his face.
