When speared, they bit the weapon savagely, though their teeth were but partially developed, uttering at the same time a sharp bark like that of a whelp when it first begins to use its voice. I could not ascertain whether the dam devours them, as reported, or whether the ichneumon has the same reputation here as in Egypt.
Had he but kept his temper, had he done no more than maintain the happy pretence that he was a slave to the orders he had received a mere machine he might have gained his ends by sheer audacity. At least, his way of retreat would have remained open, and he might have gone, to return another day with force at his heels. As it was, that pretty whelp, her son, had been sent, no doubt, for men.
Oh, certainly I do; I believe he's pup enough to come sneaking to his sister to pay for all the damfooleries he's engaged in. . . . And I've positively forbidden her to draw another check to his order " "It's that little bangled whelp, Ruthven," said Selwyn between his teeth.
At the far end, in the shadow, the tall figure of Attwater was to be seen leaning on a tree; towards him, with his hands over his head, and his steps smothered in the sand, the clerk painfully waded. The surrounding glare threw out and exaggerated the man's smallness; it seemed no less perilous an enterprise, this that he was gone upon, than for a whelp to besiege a citadel. "There, Mr. Whish.
"Don't worry." "I'm not worryin'," she replied; "but what does that little whelp mean by talking to me like that? I'll swat him one if he isn't careful!" "It's his way. Please don't anger him. You need his help." The doctor interfered. "Now, madam, strip, and let's see what's the matter with you," whereupon he laid off his coat, and opened his box of instruments.
"Thou whelp!" cried the bandy-legged man, and aimed a sudden blow at Nick, "I'll teach thee to hold thy tongue." "Oh, no, ye won't," quoth Thomas Webster, interposing his long oak staff, and thrusting the fellow away so hard that he thumped against the wall; "there is no school on holidays! Thou'lt teach nobody here to hold his tongue but thine own self and start at that straightway.
"Ah!" cried he one day, stopping suddenly before a print-shop, "how that reminds me of my dear, dear mother." "Which?" said I, eagerly, puzzled between an engraving of Raffaelle's "Madonna" and another of "The Brigand's Wife." Vivian did not satisfy my curiosity, but drew me on in spite of my reluctance. "You loved your mother, then?" said I, after a pause. "Yes, as a whelp may a tigress."

Bart straightened himself, and made some show of resistance. His breath was coming back to him. "I haven't done anything and if I did " "You lie! Martha's back from Trenton and Lucy told her. You never thought of me.
Tweedie, too, who had always been a complaining whelp, started up a cough about this time, and died. Of course, this wasn't right off, but spread over a matter of eighteen months or more, Coe coming and going regular in the Peep o' Day, and Mrs. Tweedie more blooming than ever. Coe turned up from Sydney, where he had gone for a general refitting and overhaul, just as Mrs.
"He's he's BEAUTIFUL! And I never knew it." At her loved voice the great dog moved across to where she sat. Lightly he laid one little white paw on her knee and looked gravely up into her eyes.
