And thus he ends his story "He prayeth best, who loveth best All things both great and small; For the dear God, who loveth us, He made and loveth all."
When he left her that morning he sought out Milo and confessed his sins. Shriven he arose, to do what remained in the west before he could be crowned in Rouen, and crowned in Westminster. I wish to be done with Bertran de Born, that lagging fox; but the dogs of my art must make a backward cast if they are to kill him in the open.
He told him also of the dream that he had dreamed when he lay wounded after the fight on Death Creek; of the vows which he and Wulf had vowed at the time of their knighting, and of how by degrees he had learned that Rosamund's love was not for him. Lastly, he told him of Masouda, but of her Egbert, who had shriven her, knew already. The bishop listened in silence till he had finished.
Thou wilt travel hence with me at once." "Before we start I would fain be shriven by thee, for I have grievously sinned, and to whom can I more fitly make my shrift? so that he who has ministered to the body may in turn minister to the soul." "There is joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth," said the good monk, greatly moved, "and right gladly will I discharge mine office towards thee."
We know their disloyalty, we know they are no friends of England we know their influence, their organisation, their perseverance, their unscrupulousness, their absolute supremacy in Ireland and it is high time that England asked herself, in the words of Colonel Nolan "What is going to stand against that?" No. 20. Tuam has two cathedrals but no barber. You may be shriven but you cannot be shaved.
The populace think that your rejection of popular standards is a rejection of all standard, and mere antinomianism; and the bold sensualist will use the name of philosophy to gild his crimes.

Then making a wide megaphone of his hands, he shouted. It was an alarming thing to do and Peter started as if struck. For there were only ghosts to answer back and the hollowness of a shriven pit for the cry to travel in. Nothing was there. Even the great sawdust piles had shrunk into black scars under the scourge of the fire.
"'Tis in myself," my lord Duke said at last, through his shut teeth, "'tis in myself to have struck the blow, and had I done it and found him lie dead before me in her dear name I swear, and in a new shriven soul's presence, for sure the pure thing is near I would have hid it as she has done; for naught should have torn her from me!
