But Yeobright was too deeply absorbed in the ramblings incidental to his remorseful state to notice her. During his illness he had been continually talking thus. Despair had been added to his original grief by the unfortunate disclosure of the boy who had received the last words of Mrs. Yeobright words too bitterly uttered in an hour of misapprehension.
"Papa," said Grace, overhearing the last sentence, "I would not have Lu miss the pleasant evening on shore on my account. I will go directly to bed and probably fall asleep at once." "As I hope and believe Lucilla will also," he returned, with a glance of grieved displeasure bestowed upon his eldest daughter, which sent a remorseful pang to her heart.
"He always is remorseful after a scrape, I 've understood, for he is n't a very bad fellow, only his spirits are one too many for him, and he is n't as fond of his book as another fellow I know." "I 'm afraid he 'll he expelled if he don't mind," said Polly, warningly. "Should n't wonder if he was, he 's such an unlucky dog," answered Tom, rather soberly.
Certainly not the speaker, who had done the act suggested, nor the penitent and remorseful hearer, who repeated it next day.

To-day Donatello was the sylvan Faun; to-day Miriam was his fit companion, a Nymph of grove or fountain; to-morrow a remorseful man and woman, linked by a marriage bond of crime they would set forth towards an inevitable goal. On the appointed afternoon, Kenyon failed not to make his appearance in the Corso, and at an hour much earlier than Miriam had named. It was carnival time.
He tried to soothe her with the tenderest words remorseful love could find. But the conflict of feeling grief, rebellion, doubt, self-judgment would not be soothed, and long after she had made him leave her and he had fallen asleep, she knelt on, a white and rigid figure in the dying firelight, the wind shaking the old house, the eternal murmur of London booming outside.
They both stood in great want of money, and they would share and share alike. This completed the reconciliation, and Muffat, remorseful though he was, felt veritably relieved. That very day, as Nana was dozing toward two in the afternoon, Zoe made so bold as to knock at her bedroom door.

I will abide no longer here well hast thou done, dame, in placing in my hands this perilous volume." "Is it then witchcraft or devil's work?" said Dame Elspeth, in great agitation.
Bennett had frequently done things to his competitors in Wall Street which would not have been tolerated in the purer atmosphere of a lumber-camp, and, if he was going to be remorseful about anything, he might well have started by being remorseful about that. But it was on his most immediate past that his wistful mind lingered. He had quarrelled with his lifelong friend, Henry Mortimer.
