A spy, eh?" he asked the cheerful constable who had called for his assistance. "Who knows?" the man grunted. "But it's more than likely, for all Frenchmen in these parts are spies. Drag him along, while I see to this other whipper-snapper."
Then along comes some insolent little whipper-snapper, like me, whose sole knowledge of the matter in hand is drawn from the very book that he pretends to criticise, and patronizes the learned author in a book notice. No, I got out of it; I hadn't the cheek." By E. Clay. "That's more than the public did." "Yes, and I read it, too." "No! Did you, now? That's true friendship.
You worked your friends out, and then sent that whipper-snapper to my daughter when you saw you were about to fail. You managed well; you knew she couldn't refuse." "How did you find out that she held the stock?" "She told me, of course." "Don't ask me to believe that. If she hadn't told you before, she wouldn't tell you now. All I can say is that she acted of her own free will.
"`Ye see, freens, this whipper-snapper o' a tade-eater has gotten the whup hand o' us; but we'll be upsides wi' him. The main thing is to get delay, so cut away, Tam Cargill, and tak' horse to Montrose for the sodgers. Spare na the spur, lad, an' gar them to understan' that the case is urgent.
So you thought I was a spy?" "Yes." "And what was you going to do with me?" "Make you a prisoner, and take you down to camp."

They might not like it in England, though personally I don't care if you massacre every damned Britisher in the country. From what I've seen of 'em it's only what they deserve. The insolence I've met with from those whipper-snapper officers! And the civil officials would be as bad, if they dared. Then their women I wouldn't like to say what I think of them." The Dewan turned to Chunerbutty.

Poor Osborne might have known better than to cast this slur on his father's flesh and blood; for so dear did he hold his watch! 'My watch is like myself, said the squire, 'girning, as the Scotch say 'plain, but steady-going. At any rate, it gives the law in my house.
He said he liked the idea of calling her "madam," for he thought it sounded so "distant," it would hurt her feelings very much. The term "little whipper-snapper" also delighted him. He said he guessed that would make her feel cheap.
Exhale!" till Buzz's lungs were bursting, his eyes were starting from his head, his chest carried a sledge hammer inside it, his thigh-muscles screamed, and his legs, arms, neck, were no longer parts of him, but horrid useless burdens, detached, yet clinging. Right! Whup!" Buzz whupped with the best of 'em. The whipper-snapper seemed tireless.
Low had been more sure than Mr. Low, having not unnaturally been jealous that a young whipper-snapper of a pupil, as she had once called Phineas, should become a Parliament man before her husband, who had worked his way up gallantly, in the usual course. She would not give way a jot even now, not even when she heard that Phineas was going to marry this and that heiress.
