"Come to my side," said Mr. , to the whipper-in, "and meet that gentleman as he arrives at yonder gate; and keep by him while I scold you." "Now, sir, most particularly d n you, for riding slap-dash over the young wheat, you most confounded insensible ignorant tinker, isn't the headland wide enough both for you and your horse, even if your spurs were as long again as they are?"
This man, the first whipper-in, was accompanied by two thorough-bred dogs, fox-hounds, white, with liver spots, long in the leg, fine in the muzzle, with slender heads, and little ears at their crests.
That the huntsman, and not the hound, may occasionally be in fault, the following anecdote will furnish sufficient proof. In drawing a strong cover, a young bitch gave tongue very freely, while none of the other hounds challenged. The whipper-in railed to no purpose; the huntsman insisted that she was wrong, and the whip was applied with great severity.
He did not have much to say on the floor of the House, but he was an indefatigable organizer, and rendered the Republican party great service as, what is called in the English House of Commons, a "whipper-in." He prided himself on being recognized as a man who would chivalrously defend himself if attacked, but he showed no desire for fighting when hostilities became inevitable.

They took up their position in the park, and presently from every point of the compass the scarlet coats came trotting forward, followed by a string of drags, dogcarts, and gigs.
'Come, you'd better stay and get work here! I'd sooner be at the plough-tail all day, than poke out my eyes over stuff like that, pointing to Paul's slate, covered with figures. 'Here, Nelly, as she moved about, tidying the room, 'do you hear? Mr. Cope's got an offer of a place for Paul five pounds a year, and board and lodging, to be school-master's whipper-in, or what d'ye call it?
Beginning with jests, the quarrel presently grew fiercer between Monsieur Jacquin La Roulie, the old French whipper-in, and John Barry, the young islander. The two princes guessed from afar the subject of the altercation, and the Master of the Hunt, setting spurs to his horse, brought it to an end by saying, in a voice of authority: "Who drew the wood?" "I, monseigneur," said the Englishman.
The world is large, but there's a sort of whipper-in of Fate, who drives the people wearing the same livery into one corner in the end. If they met" he rose and walked hastily up and down "what then? I have a feeling that Rosalie would recognise her as plainly as though the word Kathleen were stitched on her breast." There was a clock on the wall. He looked at it.
