"I think there are very clever men in Barchester," said Eleanor. "Perhaps there may be; only I don't know them: and it's admitted on all sides that medical men aren't now what they used to be. They used to be talented, observing, educated men. But now any whipper-snapper out of an apothecary's shop can call himself a doctor. I believe no kind of education is now thought necessary."
"But I shouldn't be such a round, rough, clay-tod as you are, old no-neck," said the wagtail, ruffling his feathers up at the very idea of getting them damp. "No, you wouldn't, you miserable whipper-snapper," croaked the other, settling himself down on the flowerbed, so that he could hardly be told from the ground for colour.
Miss Hoag billowed into silent laughter. "Little devil! That's six you've sponged off me this week, you little whipper-snapper!" The Baron screwed up into the tightest of grimaces. "Nice Teenie nice old Teenie!" She tossed him a coin from the small saucerful of them on the table beside her. He caught it with the simian agility of his tiny hands. "Nice Teenie! Nice old Teenie!"
"Very well," Hartley throws over his shoulder. "Have it that way if you like." Which is where I gets Piddie's goat still further on the rampage by lettin' out a chuckle. "The young whipper-snapper!" growls Piddie. "Oh, all of that!" says I. "What you going to do besides fire him? Couldn't have him indicted under the Lever act, could you?" Piddie just glares and stalks off.
That young Nap Errol fairly sickens me." "Oh, but he is a splendid dancer," protested his partner tolerantly. "Oh course you say so," growled the Major. "All women like that horrid little whipper-snapper. I can't see what in thunder they find to attract them. I call him a downright cad myself, and I'm inclined to think him a blackguard as well.
I wonder if he'd let me call him Bill for short! Bit of a whipper-snapper, he seemed; but I didn't take very much notice of him saw he was plainly bored by his uncle from the Bush, so I didn't worry him. Well, now he's ours for a time your aunt doesn't limit more that that, if I can make a guess at these hieroglyphics, I've got to send a telegram to say we'll have him on Saturday."
Before they could come to a decision, Tom Robinson himself appeared in the foreground. He was speaking, or rather listening to a giant of a farmer in a light overcoat and streaming cravat, who, in place of treating the master of "Robinson's" as "a whipper-snapper of a counter-jumper," was behaving to him with the most unsophisticated deference.
Murty, left helpless, said a few strong things as he looked after the retreating pair. "It's a guinea to a gooseberry he's taken Frinch lave wid him," he said, "bitther tongued little whipper-snapper that he is! Sure if Bobs gets rid av him it'll serve him sorry, so 'twill. But phwat'll I do about it, at all?" He scratched his head reflectively.
He caught hold of this suggestion, and exclaimed, with a sneer: "I know why you want to go to Switzerland, Miss. To run after that whipper-snapper of a parson's son, eh? Well, you shan't. And as for why I won't let her go, it's because I don't believe those doctors, who say one minute that she should go to Egypt, which is hot, and the next to Switzerland, which is cold.
"When I tells folk as Anna's took up wi' a lad at last an' 'im such a whipper-snapper! When I tell 'em as 'ow you " "That's enough!" cried I passionately. "Take your things and go before I endeavour to kill you " "Lord, Peregrine!" said Diana, viewing me in big-eyed wonder. "'T is only Gabbing Dick, and he must talk dirt, but nobody minds." "Well, I do, and if he doesn't depart immediately "
