If he should display the precocity of his talents by expressing impious opinions before his brothers and sisters, we should not much blame his father for cutting short the controversy with a horse-whip.
If I, one of the preacher's disciples, could scarcely refrain from falling upon him for his insolence, what must the choleric and brutal Hector feel, hearing himself repeatedly laughed at by the delighted unmannerly mob, during this impudent harangue? He dropped the reins, jumped from the phaeton, sprang through the croud, and began to horse-whip the inspired man in the most furious manner.
Are you with me?" "We sure are!" came in an energetic chorus from the others. "Then come on!" cried Andy, and with a short run he cleared the fence and dashed up toward the farmer, who was still lashing away with the horse-whip. "Here! Quit that!" exclaimed Andy, panting a bit from his exertion. "Drop that whip!" The farmer wheeled around, for Andy had come up behind him.
And she heard, that one time, when he was challenged by a noble, he shrank away, and never stood up to his quarrel." But just then in walked the sheriff himself, with a horse-whip in his hand. He was a thick-set, grey-headed fellow, and roared at Sidonia "What! thou old, lean hag so thou wilt spin no flax? May the devil take thee, but thou shalt obey my commands!"
You told your gamekeeper this very day you would lash me like a dog, and duck me after. Aha, Sir Everard! Where's the horse-whip and the horse-pond now?" "Here!" shouted the young baronet; and with a mighty effort he freed his arms, and raising the whip, slashed Dick Darkly for the second time across the face. "You murdering villain, you shall swing for this!"
His employment had been rolling up into the form of a coiled snake the long lash of his horse-whip, and then by a jerk causing it to unroll itself into the middle of the floor.

"I remember how he rushed headlong at me with the horse-whip when I tripped you up at the Slype, and you have never forgiven that." "Oh! indeed I forgot that childish nonsense long ago. You never served me so again."
Burke held him so for a few seconds, then deliberately dropped the horse-whip and grasped him with both hands, lifting him. Kieff's head was sunk forward. He looked as if he would faint. But inexorably Burke dragged him to his feet and turned him till he stood before Sylvia. She was leaning against Kelly with her hands over her face. Relentlessly Burke's voice broke the silence.
He had ridden about the country in all directions, and except when hunting a kangaroo or emu, he had never had to fire a shot. "But with a mob of savage blacks in the neighbourhood, it would be more prudent to be armed," I observed. "My horse-whip will soon send them to the rightabout, should any of them venture to come near me," he answered laughing.
Darwin seems to spend hours in cracking a horse-whip in his room, for I often hear the crack when I pass under his windows." I had many friends amongst the schoolboys, whom I loved dearly, and I think that my disposition was then very affectionate.
