How about it?" he inquired pleasantly of the four men. "I know nothing about it," replied one of them shortly. "We hired this boat, and we intend to have it; and no whipper-snapper is going to keep us from it." "I see," said Talbot pleasantly. "Well, excuse me a moment while I talk to our friend." He addressed the man in Spanish, and received short, sullen replies.
"I wish you'd let me finish! or on the bank, and you take this little whipper-snapper, and you touch the spot on the reel that relases the thrid, and you give the rod a little toss, aisy as throwin' away chips, and off maybe fifty feet your bait hits the water, 'spat! and 'snap! goes Mr. Bass, and 'stick! goes the hook.

Burns resented the gossip of this young whipper-snapper of the service who seemed, despite his frankness, to have something of a patronizing air. "Certainly.
