"I determined to keep my eye on this young whipper-snapper, and come up from Ascot by an earlier train than they expected me. I let myself in and ran up to the drawing-room. They were there sitting side by side on the sofa. I could see they were very much upset. The young fellow turned red, and he got up, stammering, and speaking a lot of rot. "'What! you back already?

If you was anybody at all, you wouldn't look at him! You wouldn't think of him!" "O 'Manda, 'Manda! You know I can't let you talk so," moaned Statira. "Talk? I could talk my head off! 'You must not think I was provoked with you," she mimicked Lemuel's dignity of diction in mincing falsetto. "'I will come to see you very soon. Miserable, worthless, conceited whipper-snapper!"
What business had she to go publishing all that wonderful big volume above my mantel-piece 'Woman's Dignity; developed in Dialogues? Without that she never would have found out that I could not be a sympathizing companion without the advantages of travel, and I never should have left number four, to be quarrelled with by every whipper-snapper of a soldier, and dragged to death by a woman unknown a synonymous personage, as Mrs M. would say, that I encountered in a coach.
Bankshire has shown you singling out a whipper-snapper like you twice in three weeks! And you wouldn't find me in anyhow, come to think of it. I'm lunching out myself, as it happens yes sir, lunching out. Is there anything especially comic in my lunching out? I don't often do it, you say? Well, that's no reason why I never should. Who with? Why, with with old Dr. Bleaker: Dr. Eliphalet Bleaker.
"Thanks, Miss Tharon," said Curly in his soft Southern drawl, "if you feel that-a-way about it, w'y, I don't care what no little yellow-headed whipper-snapper from up Wyomin' way says to th' contrary." Billy was a bit abashed, but he stubbornly supported his contention that the stranger was a bad-man from Texas.
'A pair with ideas so absurd could not possibly be happy. Merton reasoned. 'Why don't you take her into the world, and show her life? With her fortune and with you to take her about, she would soon forget this egregiously foolish romance. 'And me to have her snapped up by some whipper-snapper that calls himself a lord? Not me, Mr. Graham, said Mrs. Nicholson.
Captain Pond heard her from her bed exhorting her husband to close the window and not let in the draught upon her for the sake of any little Volunteer whipper-snapper in creation. "What next?" she should like to know, and "Tell the pestering man there's a bed of spring bulbs planted close under the wall, an' if he goes stampin' upon my li'l crocuges I'll have the law of him."
What is the meaning of all this trash?" "Tom Hillary says that the parson lives by the sins of the people, the lawyer by their distresses, and the doctor by their diseases always asking your pardon, sir." "Tom Hillary," replied the Doctor, "should be drummed out of the borough. A whipper-snapper of an attorney's apprentice, run away from Newcastle!
She stood silent, evidently waiting for his communication. "It's not of paramount importance," he said. "But I think you may as well know it for your present edification and future guidance. Madam, I am that wicked, wanton, wily fox, that whipper-snapper, that unmitigated bounder Nap Errol!" He made the announcement with supreme complacence.
Too bad the boys didn't get their hands on him last night the infernal college-bred whipper-snapper!... Well, don't you worry about that job. Nor you, either, Mrs. Frazer." "Seems like I never did anything but worry; if it wasn't about one thing it was another, and no peace since I was in the cradle," said Mrs. Frazer, dolefully.
