"I compliment you on it." "The fact is, I feel very well this morning." "I am very glad of it. But have you no little tit-bits left for breakfast?" "Here are cherries preserved by the ladies of Montmartre." "They are too sweet." "Nuts stuffed with raisins." "Bah! they have left the stones in the raisins." "You are not content with anything."
Long after the others were buried in slumber, these two sat up by the lamp-light, solacing themselves with little scraps and tit-bits of walrus during the intervals of whispered conversation. "What shall we do with him?" asked Okiok, after a brief silence. "Keep him," replied Nuna, with decision. "But we cannot force him to stay."
It was he who received orders from the knowing; and in return for apparent tit-bits he received acknowledgments in coin twopence or threepence a time.
His fear, however, was unnecessary. When the host and his beloved departed Miss Fancy was still recounting tit-bits of her biography. "But I'll tell you the rest another time," she cried from the moving car. She had emphatically won the second battle. From the first blow she had never even looked like losing. And she had shown no mercy, quite properly following the maxim that war is war.
The Duke d'Arenberg has a picture-gallery worthy of his princely house. It does not contain great pieces, but tit-bits of pictures, such as suit an aristocratic epicure. For such persons a great huge canvas is too much, it is like sitting down alone to a roasted ox; and they do wisely, I think, to patronize small, high-flavored, delicate morceaux, such as the Duke has here.
A large deal table stood in the center of the room, and at this with their chairs drawn up, Geraldine and the cook worked. The former was trimming a picture-hat of the cheapest and most flamboyant style, and the latter darned a coarse white stocking intended for her own use. By the fire sat Thomas, fair-haired and stupid in looks, who read tit-bits from the Daily Mail for the delectation of Mrs.
Pye seems uncommonly annoyed about it, sir," Mr. Jenkins ventured to put in. To interrupt, or take part in any conversation, was not usual with him, unless he could communicate little tit-bits of information touching the passing topic. "You are aware that Mr. Harper, the lay-clerk, lodges at our house, sir. Well, Mr. Pye came round last night, especially to question him about it."
"But this is good enough to travel in, isn't it?" "To be sure it is. When you reach San Francisco, you can buy something more appropriate." It occurred to the spinster to ask: "Have you ever seen a fashion magazine?" "No. Sometimes we had the Illustrated London News and Tit-Bits. Sailors would leave them at the trader's." "Alice in Wonderland!" cried Prudence, perhaps a little enviously.
We had a special target-practice that afternoon all for Antonio. As I told my crew me bein' captain of the port-bow quick-firer, though I'm a torpedo man now it just showed how you can work your gun under any discomforts. A shell twenty six-inch shells burstin' inboard couldn't 'ave begun to make the varicose collection o' tit-bits which we had spilled on our deck.
He was well aware that the flesh of the moose was of the most savoury and delicate kind, and that the long pendulous upper lip is one of the "tit-bits" of the fur countries. Moreover, the fine hide would be an acceptable addition to their stock, as it is the best of all deerskins for mocassins, as well as snow-shoes articles which Basil knew would soon be needed.
