A pretty large proportion of youngsters also, or squeakers, who cannot be appointed without the previous consent of the Admiralty, spring up like mushrooms, with rosy cheeks and tender hands, totally unconscious, poor little fellows! of the rugged lives they are soon to lead.
In games rather above the average, and in lessons rather below it, he was very popular among his fellow "squeakers" for his good temper, modesty, generous disposition, and prowess at football and cricket.
Not a mere liar, a common thief, a paltry murderer or vulgar parricide but a COWARD, a blubberer, a baby. Even Delorme, more in sorrow than in anger, shunned his erstwhile bosom-pal, and went about as one betrayed. The name of "Funky Warren" was considered appropriate, and even the Haddock, his own flesh and blood, and most junior of "squeakers," dared to apply it!....

We should say, he urges, "for large flocks of wild fowl, of swans, a whiteness, of geese, a gaggle, of brent, a gang, of duck, a team or a plump, of widgeon, a trip, of snipes, a wisp, of larks, an exaltation.
