CONDONE
Excuse Overlook
We all have our little vanities
There are always two sides to a story

It is time to bury the hatchet
That was not necessarily to his discredit
It is human nature to ignore the——
Not quite so radical as the description would seem to indicate
Undoubtedly there are times when——
Guilty of occasional indiscretions
We must endeavor to establish amicable relations

A tendency to conciliate those who oppose

One of the chronic frailties of human nature
Things past redress are now with me past care.
