"An' den it's all off wid me an' Mamie" the Flopper's face grew hard. "Nix on dat! Dat don't go!" "We cannot do that, Harry," said Helena, in a tired voice. "There is the Patriarch."

Tom wanted 'er to learn 'ow to sing and dance so's she could be earning money all winter, but 'er mother said nix to that, very proper like. In course o' time, Tom's father worked it so's Tom could practice 'is bareback acts at Colonel Grand's stables. He was the best rider in the country at that time. The Colonel got 'im to drinking and gambling. That was the beginning.
The Sergeant Major poured out a volume of questions in German, to which we replied, "Nix forstand." Then the gendarme thought something was being overlooked, and he suggested that we be searched. I was afraid of that, and had taken the precaution of hiding the compass as well as I could, by putting it in the bottom of the pasteboard box that held our shaving-stick.
I'm glad he got out for five. I wish he had been bowled for nix. With these pleasant thoughts in my mind I walked leisurely up the ground, from where I had been standing by the scoring tent watching the game, and with an inward sinking at my heart faced the "Slogger," as we had christened our opponents' terrible bowler.

Maybe you'd like to know what his game was." "I think I know, Dick." "Nix. I guess not. You were to do him a great favor before long. You were going to run away with Christie Braddock!" David started. "You are mistaken," he cried indignantly. "I wouldn't think of such a thing." "Just the same, kid, that's what he had it fixed for you to do, and you couldn't ha' got out of it.

"We wanna tell everybody about these characters. We scatter. If they catch one they don't catch any more. We couldn't fight any better for bein' together. We better scatter. I call that settled. I'm scatterin'!"
I will write to the captain, begging him to get me off from being hung, and telling him where we have fled to, and that letter shall be given after we have sailed." They were two very nice lads our hero and Gascoigne. Gascoigne and our hero were neither of them in uniform, and they hastened to Nix Mangare stairs where they soon picked up the padrone of a speronare.

You could take it from me, Mawruss, when the time comes he should pay up, understand me, it'll be a case of nix wissen and don't you forget it." Morris shrugged impatiently. "Nu, Abe," he said; "what could we do? Once in a while we couldn't help ourselves, y'understand.
You shall tell your tales, for no one over there can do it so well; and we will sit in the stone rooms, where the pine logs are burning, and drink mead out of the golden drinking-horn of the old Norwegian kings.
