Now, as I divine your meaning, you plan that I should decrease her obligation by sending her a whippersnapper." "My notion, Heitman, is that since this dark goddess is about to leave us, she should not, in common gallantry, be permitted to go hence unaccompanied. I propose, therefore, that we forthwith decide who is to be her escort." Now Heitman Michael had drawn his sword. "You are insane.
On Tuesday morning I am king of my house and family. On Tuesday evening Prince Whippersnapper makes his appearance, and my reign is over. A whole life is forgotten and forsworn for a pair of blue eyes, a pair of lean shanks, and a head of yellow hair." "'Tis written that we women should leave all to follow our husband.
But afterwards, in looking back on the wild night of the ice freshet, Stephen remembered that Rose's manner was strained and cold and evasive, and that when he had seen her talking with Claude Merrill, it had seemed to him that that whippersnapper had looked at her as no honorable man in Edgewood ever looked at an engaged girl.
But, I suppose, I shall get no dinner in this house, no, not so much as a crust of bread; for while the old gentleman is launching out into such prodigious expenses on a great scale, making heathenish temples, and spoiling the fine old house with his new picture gallery and nonsense, he is so close in small matters, that I warrant not a candle-end escapes him; griping and pinching and squeezing with one hand, and scattering money, as if it were dirt, with the other, and all for that cross, ugly, deformed, little whippersnapper of a son.

The schoolmaster spoke in just the kind of tone he would have used in reproving some young whippersnapper. "Then let me tell you that no one but myself has any say here, in this hall." Ljung Björn turned blood red.
"And a little whippersnapper like me calling a great man like you Cutty!" "Well, if it embarrasses you, you might switch to papa once in a while." Kitty's laughter rang down the corridor. "I'll remember that whenever I want to make you mad. Who's here?" "Nobody but Harrison and the nurse. Both good citizens, and I've taken them into my confidence to a certain extent.
"Pete!" exclaimed the farmer, harshly, still eyeing Hiram. "Run up to the house and bring my shotgun. Be quick about it." Hiram said never a word, and the horses, yoked together, began to crop the short grass springing upon the bank of the water-hole. "You'll find out you're fooling with the wrong man, you whippersnapper!" promised Dickerson.
It would be great if you'd come. Yours Sincerely John." I threw the letter in the scrap-basket and an hour later fished it out. I read it over. I go to a school commencement! Not if I knew it! The cheek of the whippersnapper! I had not even seen him; he might be any sort of wild Indian; he might expect me to "take him home" afterwards. Rather not!
I couldn't much blame this whippersnapper of a consul's clerk for thinking me a tough subject. "None of those things fit my case, Mister," I said, mildly. "I know I don't look handsome, but I've been on a whaling bark for several months and I haven't had time yet to tog up." "A whaleship?" he asked. "An American whaleship?" "Yes, sir," said I.

"Unquestionably," and Washington looked away across the fields with a stern face. "But that is an outrage!" I cried. "What, every whippersnapper in the line be your superior? Why, it's rank folly!"
