Ap. 7th /71/ Emma remarked man who had refused to fight duel if never known (the challenger dropping dead) wd not feel remorse, only shame, if known - But a Hindoo who had broken caste & eaten unclean food - wd feel remorse - Is it God knows? My remarks bear on strength & perseverance of repentance. An atheist from Habit & the ancients wd feel remorse.
