He had no cause for self-reproach on the score of neglect, or want of thought, for he had been devoted to her service; and yet a hundret little occasions rose up before him on which he fancied he might have been more zealous, and more earnest, and wished he had been.

There is no remorse so deep, as that which is unavailing; if we would be spared its tortures, let us remember this, in time.
