Miss Benson said boldly out, "The lady I named in my note, Sally Mrs Denbigh, a distant relation." "Aye, but you said hoo was a widow. Is this chit a widow?" "Yes, this is Mrs Denbigh," answered Miss Benson. "If I'd been her mother, I'd ha' given her a lollypop instead of a husband. Hoo looks fitter for it." "Hush! Sally, Sally! Look, there's your master trying to move that heavy box."
Doretta, having endeavored to remove the ink-spot by licking it, has torn the paper. "Oh, dear, I shall have to copy it out now," she says, in a mortified tone. "You can copy it this evening. Bring it here, and let me look at it...Not bad, not bad at all. A few letters to be added, and a few to be taken out; but, on the whole, for a chit of your size, it's fairly creditable. Good girl!"
He was going to say more, but the strange flash in the girl's eyes brought him to an uncomfortable pause. He felt that she measured him, challenged him. For the first time his honourable career of building a county commonwealth had been questioned and by a chit of a girl, the daughter of a wastrel, herself but a flighty, fly-away, foreign creature. Conflict between them was inevitable.
"He's fairly got the hump. Between you and me he'd give a bit not to have us, but me and him being old friends you see, we know a bit about one another." "Oh, that's it, is it?" Miss Montressor remarked, with a toss of her head. "Well, you and your wife and your little chit of a daughter are welcome to him so far as we are concerned, aren't they, Flossie?"
How far I had gone on my homeward journey I cannot say, when the sound of quickly pattering footsteps intruded upon my wild reverie. I stopped, turned, and there was Ah Tsong almost at my heels. "Blinga chit flom lilly missee," he said, and held the note toward me.
Run away and interview the head waiter. Then you are to buttonhole Bower and the American. I am just sending a chit to the Badminton-Smythes." "Who is my partner?" "Lulu, of course." De la Vere was puzzled, and looked it. "I suppose it is all right," he growled. "Still, I can't help thinking you've got something up your sleeve, Edie." She stamped a very pretty foot angrily. "Do as I tell you!
"He showed me a photograph once," she continued. "A baby-faced chit of a girl it was, but he was evidently very proud of it. A little girl of his down in the country, he told me. Then, do you know this? He was never in London for Sunday. Every week-end he went off somewhere; and I never heard of any one who ever saw him or knew where he went to."
'It was three servants sent to seek you from the Grange, said Heathcliff, overhearing me. 'You should have opened a lattice and called out: but I could swear that chit is glad you didn't. She's glad to be obliged to stay, I'm certain. At learning the chance we had missed, we both gave vent to our grief without control; and he allowed us to wail on till nine o'clock.
He felt Murrell was bent on committing him to an aggregate of crime he would never have considered possible, and all for love of a girl a pink-cheeked, white-faced chit of a girl disgust boiled up within him, rage choked him; this was the rotten spot in Murrell's make-up, the man was mad-stark mad! As Ware rode away from Belle Plain he cursed him under his breath with vindictive thoroughness.
Still, I maintain that this antique wreck is enormous," Mr. Prohack insisted. They walked out on deck. "Hello! Here's the chit. You can always count on her!" said Charles. The launch was again approaching the yacht, and a tiny figure with a despatch case on her lap sat smiling in the stern-sheets. "She's come down by train," Charles explained.
