Vosburgh put his arm around his daughter, as he looked, for a moment, into her tear-dimmed eyes, then kissed her good-night, and said, quietly, "I understand you, Marian." "But, papa!" she exclaimed, in sudden remorsefulness, "you won't take any risks that you can honorably escape?"
He was a little afraid of her, and now that she had lost her naive enthusiasm he was conscious of a vague remorsefulness for his interrupted work in the forest. What was he doing here?

I got the notion that mebby she was enjoying her own remorsefulness a little bit. I fetched a deep sigh and I says: "Some fellers would kill theirselves on the spot!" "Oh! Oh! Oh! " says Martha. "But, Martha," says I, "I ain't that mean. I ain't going to do that."
Her eyes were fixed on the ground, and she was deep in thought tinged with remorsefulness that she should have come up here instead of going straight home to the farm, and by losing her way and staying out so long have given Fritzing's careful heart an unnecessary pang of anxiety. He had had so many, and all because of her.
