"Naturally I have not told her the worst, or how beastly unpleasant the man has been." He stopped and turned. "Do you know he threatened to kill me?" he asked. Kara smiled. "I can tell you it was no laughing matter," said the other, angrily, "I nearly took the little whippersnapper by the scruff of the neck and kicked him." Kara dropped his hand on the other's arm.
I came over here this mornin' to visit Julia's grave. There was a scoffer in our pulpit, that young whippersnapper from Wapatomac had exchanged with our minister and I didn't care to hear him." "Oh, I see. So you come over to your wife's grave, eh?" "Yes. What are you lookin' like that for?" "Oh, nothin'. I thought maybe you was chasin' after Lulie.
He did not wish to revive the echoes of the past on Forsyte 'Change. He removed a white hair from the lapel of his closely-buttoned-up frock coat, and passed his hand over his cheeks, moustache, and square chin. It felt very hollow there under the cheekbones. He had not been eating much lately he had better get that little whippersnapper who attended Holly to give him a tonic.
"The size of your fists is enough to inspire any one with respect. For all the world I would not offend their owner." "Well, then, go your way, you whippersnapper," muttered the carman, while the emperor congratulated himself upon having gotten out of the scrape without detection.
"And you young whippersnapper," he added when once it had closed behind him and he had turned to shake his lean old fist at the place where W.M.P. presumably was still sitting, "I'll show you how to treat a reputable member of the bar old enough to be your grandfather! I'll take the starch out of your darned Puritan collar!
So the duchess is gone, and the ladies are not come; and the duke he has nothing to do but curse that whippersnapper of a Pierre who came last night." And Jean ended in a rapturous hoarse chuckle. "You were riding so fast, then, because you were after the duchess?" I suggested. "I rode fast for fear," said Jean, with a shrewd smile, "that I should stop somewhere on the road.
"Well, what's the good of it?" he would at times say sombrely to his colleagues by profession. "What if a whippersnapper like that comes, and runs right up nose to nose against his superiors? Smash, and they've closed up the establishment! There, like Lupendikha's three years back.
"I believe you think I'm afraid," said Wildney, laughing, and looking at Eric with his dark eyes; "and what's more, I believe you're afraid." "Little whippersnapper!" said Eric, coloring, "as if I was afraid to do anything you dare do. I'll go with you at once, if you like." "What are you thinking of?" asked Duncan. "I don't care twopence about the beer, and I hope you won't go."
Now what I want to ask you, gentlemen, is this: Do I go out to-morrow to die on the field of glory for my country, or does this here little contemptible whippersnapper take me off to rot in some Yankee jail? I leave it to you, gentlemen. Settle it for yourselves." And with that Culpepper throws the man into the crowd and walks behind the screen in solemn state.
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.
