If he now refuses to correct a misstatement which grossly injures me, after he has been informed of the truth, the refusal admits of but one interpretation, and throws a satirical light on the merely private 'regret' he professes. Royce's real animus in this affair, I propose now that he send me such a retraction and apology as you yourself shall deem adequate, fitting, and due.
Winters renewed his demands for retraction precisely such as he had before named, except that he would allow me to state who did write the article if I did not myself, and this time shaking his fist in my face with more cursings and epithets. This fact it was, which more than anything else, convinced me that by plan and plot I was purposely made powerless in Mr.
"The first thing to do," said Hal decisively, "is to make amends. Mr. Sterne, the 'Clarion' is to print a full retraction of the attacks upon my father, at once." "Yes, sir," assented Sterne, slavishly responsive to the new authority. Not so McGuire Ellis. "If you do that you'll make a fool of your own paper," he said bluntly.

When, for example, a vessel is only partly divided, the contraction and retraction of the muscular coat, instead of diminishing the calibre of the artery, causes the wound in the vessel to gape; by completing the division of the vessel under these circumstances the bleeding can often be arrested.
There was murder in McQuade's heart, but there was reason in his head. He saw exactly where he stood. They had him. "One is state's prison; the other is a full retraction of this base calumny. Take your choice." "Bolles?" "It's true, every damn word of it," said Bolles venomously. "Your janitor in New York told me the facts. You know they're true." "Bolles, I nearly killed you one night.
That time, however, I gained while thinking of my retraction, which I first wrote in pencil, altering it from time to time till I got it to suit me, my aim being to make it look like a concession to demands, while in fact it should tersely speak the truth into Mr. Winters' mind. When it was finished, I copied it in ink, and if correctly copied from my first draft it should read as follows.
He had gained something much more than he knew; and for a tremulous instant he was near to losing it again by a passionate retraction of all he had been saying.
