No one in these days, knowing and repenting of the crime, would hesitate a moment, or fancy himself bound, because he had committed one vile sin in pledging himself thus to guilt, to rush on deeper yet into the perpetration of wickedness.

Darling continued her walk for a few paces farther and stopped. "God forgive me!" Melbury murmured, repenting of what he had done.
In the grounds, a few rods from the palace, stands the Margravine's chapel, just as she left it a coarse wooden structure, wholly barren of ornament.

In the next place I shall scold him first, until he admits his sorrow; and when he has admitted it, I shall scold myself for scolding him.
"Well, if he is, it ain't anybody's business but mine." Then evidently repenting her harshness, she added, "I got tickets to a dance-hall up-town to-night. I'll take you along if you want to look on.
