After briefly deciding upon the order to be followed in their conversation with the girl, the troop of rivals started for the kitchen, as it was too cold on the porch in winter. A knock on the door. "Come in, whoever you are!" shouted Pèp, as if ignorant of the presence of the suitors and expecting an unusual visitor. They entered tamely, greeting the family: "Bòna nit! Bòna nit!"
Every one who traveled at night had his reasons for passing unrecognized. One shadow feared another shadow. A "bòna nit," or a request for a light for the cigarette, might be answered by a pistol shot. Sometimes no one passed by the farmhouse, and yet, the dog, stretching out his neck, howled into the dark void. In the distance human howls seemed to answer him.
Isis was entitled lady and mistress of Buto, as Hathor was at Denderah, and as Nit was at Sais. The animal-gods shared omnipotence with those in human form. Each of the feudal divinities appropriated two companions and formed a trinity; or, as it is generally called, a triad. Often the local deity was content with one wife and one son, but often he was united to two goddesses.
Nothing so false as penitence moved him; but genuine paternal feeling, and that melancholy of 'never again. He moistened his lips; and complete irresolution for a moment paralysed his legs in their check trousers. It was hard hard to be thus compelled to leave his home! "D -nit!" he muttered, "I never thought it would come to this." Noises above warned him that the maids were beginning to get up.

"If we had the sense of a Venusian water nit, we'd blast out of here so quick our tail fumes'd take off with us!"

"Then," he said, striking a chant, "we can have Oh Sin and Oh Pshaw, Oh Sing and Oh Song, Oh Sung and Oh Sang, Oh Last and Oh Least, Oh Ping and Oh Pong, Oh Some, Oh More, and Oh Most, Oh Naught and Oh Nit..." And Dick jingled away into the house still chanting his extemporized directory. A week of dissatisfaction and restlessness ensued for Graham.
So much to this one, so much to that, so much to half a dozen others, and we get the contract. Otherwise, most emphatically nit." "That comes straight, does it?" "As straight as a shot out of a gun. They got together on it, eight of the big bosses, called me in and told me flat-footed what we had to do," said the salesman. "Oh, I tell you, those fellows are on to their job."
I had a great respect for him, and I am sorry for his sake you will act as you do; but I tell you once for all you must give up all thoughts of Sall, now and for everlastin. When Sall heerd this, she began to nit away like mad in a desperate hurry she looked foolish enough, that's a fact.
