Chapeau left the side of his mistress, muttering something about stupid foolish chits of girls, and continued his description of M. d'Elbee to the men. "Indeed he is a very great general.
"And you'd like me to follow those skinny old frumps and leggy, limp chits, that slobber and cry over that man!" she said contemptuously. "No! I reckon I only want a change and I'll go away, or get out of this for a while." The poor doctor had not thought of this possible alternative. His heart sank, but he was brave.
Ellsworthy; "it's quite absurd to be baffled by three little chits, but I'll settle everything in a satisfactory fashion when I get them to Shortlands." Aloud she said, "My dears, I shall be very glad to see you and can you come to-morrow? To-morrow I shall be quite alone." "Primrose," burst from Daisy, "there's a Newfoundland dog, and a mastiff, and two English terriers at Shortlands.
At least I made it look as imposing as possible. How would the wheels go round in the East without "chits"? You are called upon to write them for every sort of person and every kind of service or none. Finally in desperation I offered one to the thief for allowing himself to be caught so promptly.
I overheard all this, though I pretended not to, the little busy chits supposing me entirely buried in the recesses of a German book over which I was poring. There are certain crises in a man's life when the female element in his household asserts itself in dominant forms that seem to threaten to overwhelm him.
Henderson has drunk and gambled and signed chits in excess of his salary. He hasn't attended to business and he's capped his inefficiency by absconding with our bank account. We couldn't foresee that. When we send a man out to the Orient to be our manager there, we have to trust him all the way or not at all. So there is no use weeping over spilled milk, Cappy.

"They had two sons, the kind of boys who play rough games with balls, bats or rackets from morning till night; then came two daughters, the elder a dry, shrivelled-up Englishwoman, the younger a dream of beauty, a heavenly blonde. When those chits make up their minds to be pretty, they are divine.
The same post delivered a thick letter from Cossie, which her ungrateful and distracted relative tore up unread. Already, in his mind's eye, Shafto could see Cossie permanently established in Rangoon, informing everyone that she was his cousin, bombarding him with chits, worrying him for visits, treats and attentions.
He died at Chits on the 25th of November, 1456, and, according to the historian John d'Auton, who had probably lived in the society of Jacques Coeur's children, "he remained interred in the church of the Cordeliers in that island, at the centre of the choir."
