First, he had been puzzled, then angry, finally he had had recourse to entreaty, feeling in his heart that he could never look the neighbours in the face again if the story got about that this chit had "got the better of him that way." At length Roseen had suffered herself to be softened, and agreed, after much persuasion, to a compromise.
One of the pair brought a black tidbit from a pine near by, and offered it to the other as he emerged into daylight. He took it from her bill, said chit, chickadese for thank you, and hastened back into the mine. Finally, on the 27th, after watching their operations a while from the ground, I swung myself into the tree, and took a seat with them.
What do you mean, you chit?" "Only that I am not won by a few soft words, Monsieur," I answered coldly. "But you are my wife; 'twill be well for you to remember that." "Nor am I likely to forget, yet because a priest has mumbled words over us does not make me love you."
But after a while she thought that she might as well see this English chit who had superseded herself in the affections of the Englishman she had condescended to love. And if it were the case that all revenge was to be abandoned, that no punishment was to be exacted in return for all the injury that had been done, why should she not say a kind word so as to smooth away the existing difficulties?
I learned to be interested in vital questions and to keep up with the world's best thought, in company with these gents that was a few laps ahead of it. But not so with the motherless chit.

And yet the family life was unaltered; no one at home seemed to be much impressed, not even Ethel, though Ethel's sympathy could be depended upon; Milly was still Milly, the youngest, the least important, the chit of a thing.
Count Posen told me, only yesterday, that there was not a girl in Oldport with such an air as hers." "Not Kate herself?" said Emilia, slyly. "I?" said Kate. "What am I? A silly chit of a thing, with about a dozen ideas in my head, nearly every one of which was planted there by Hope. I like the nonsense of the world very well as it is, and without her I should have cared for nothing else.
When I once become a personage I shall know how to maintain my station." "'Et caetera punctum!" crowed Mistigris, imitating the hoarse voice of a young cock; which made Oscar's deliverance all the more absurd, because he had just reached the age when the beard sprouts and the voice breaks. "'What a chit for chat!" added the rapin.
