Slosson here this morning. After all, he's been here for years, and I'm practically an upstart. He's so much older, too. I I hate to hurt him. I wish you'd " But Fenger shook his head. "Slosson's due now. And he has got to take his medicine. This is business, Miss Brandeis. You ought to know what that means. For that matter, it may be that you haven't hit upon an idea.
New men, admitted to the confidence of the crown, clothed with the highest honours, and laden with enormous emoluments, had excluded the ancient and honoured functionaries of the state, who had been obliged to sell out their offices to these upstart successors.
If we can silence them with threats all right. If not...." He lapsed into silence. Then his anger boiled to the surface again. "What man in his right mind could believe such a fairy tale? That upstart from Galilee risen from the dead!" A young priest sighed and spoke. "What can we do? Those men seem to believe very sincerely that it happened." The high priest was instantly suspicious.
Hanging and heading have gone mostly out of date, or the peer would be in more danger than the upstart.
The False Brethren are the Dissenters and Republicans; Sacheverell is as indignant with those "upstart novelists" who presume "to evacuate the grand sanction of the Gospel, the eternity of hell torments," as with those false brethren who "will renounce their creed and read the Decalogue backward . . . fall down and worship the very Devil himself for the riches and honour of this world."

For Martial had turned and discovered that Marie-Anne and her father had left him. He saw them standing about a hundred paces from him. Although he was surprised at their indifference, he made haste to join them, and addressed M. Lacheneur.
"How do you know?" demanded Puss and Emily in chorus. "And he's no gentleman," said Virginia. "But how do you know, Jinny?" "He's an upstart." "Oh. But he belongs to a very good Boston family, they say." "There are no good Boston families," replied Virginia, with conviction, as she separated her reins. "He has proved that. Who ever heard of a good Yankee family?"
They were, for the moment, beyond speech. "And I remember you," went on the general. "You," he continued, pointing to Hal, "are the American upstart who almost knocked me over in the station at Berlin. I said I would have you whipped. Well, my time has come. Now, you just sit quiet," he said loudly, as Hal and Chester took a step forward.
