I don't believe you. You're not a bit sorry. You are a sterling example of a fine old-fshioned gentleman, and you are very far from being a specimen of sorry, or a sorry specimen.

Mark Twain said, "The highest perfection of politeness is only a beautiful edifice, built, from the base to the dome, of graceful and gilded forms of charitable and unselfish lying."

An apology is a graceful act, and art. But saying "I'm sorry" is an admission of a deficiency.
