He relents, allows Algy and Barbara to have the carriage, and sends them off to Tempest. Either Mr. Musgrave becomes aware of this fact, or, as I had anticipated, he forgets his promise, for he never appears, and I do not see him again till Sunday.
There are some men who wouldn't mind changing with you," he added, with a bitter smile. "How many captains in the regiment have two thousand pounds to the fore, think you? You must live on your pay till your father relents, and if you die, you leave your wife a hundred a year." "Do you suppose a man of my habits call live on his pay and a hundred a year?" George cried out in great anger.
Hesitation and renewed conference; but at last the proprietor relents; and, with the look of one who is ruined for life, and who yet is willing to sacrifice himself, he hands me the oranges. Instantly the excitement is dead, the crowd disperses, and the street is as quiet as ever; when I walk away, bearing my hard-won treasures.

I don't think we shall do much if your dear mother relents, and says the girl is penitent as soon as she cries. She ought to know girls better than that. A little thing makes them cry: but penitence, that is getting rarer and rarer every day." "There would be no need for penitence in this case. The girl is a very respectable girl.

It is the very struggle of the noble Othello. His heart relents; but his hand is firm. He does naught in hate, but all in honor.
