let off this time

The throw is squint though, and Scotland are let off this time.

Val stood looking out of the window, trembling with anxiety, registering vows that if she were let off this time, if by some miracle she were not expelled, she would be such an honor to the family, such a comfort to her father, that he would be encouraged to live practically forever.

“I have heard what you say about this lad, and let it be known among the men, that although he is let off this time, I will not again pardon any attempt at desertion, whatever may be the excuse offered.”

Now, if he is let off this time, he will go straight for the rest of his life.

If he could be let off this time he would give no cause of complaint again.
