Come hither, younker; thou hast often sought to know the manner in which the horsemen are wont to lead into the combat, when the broad-mouthed artillery and pattering leaden hail have cleared a passage for the struggle of horse to horse, and man to man.
The windows were tight-closed to keep out the cold winter air, and the condensed breath ran in streams down the panes. The foreman turned to one of the men, and said, "Here, Crossthwaite, take this younker and make a tailor of him. Keep him next you, and prick him with your needle if he shirks." Mechanically, as if in a dream, I sat down, and as the foreman vanished a burst of chatter rose.
"Well, well, Dorothy don't fret about it till it happens thar'll be plenty o' time then," said Younker, gravely; "and perhaps it won't happen at all." "Don't talk to me about fretting, Mr.
He could not, however, safely entrust the sacred interests of a commonwealth to such hands as those of Brederode however deeply that enthusiastic personage might drink the health of "Younker William," as he affectionately denominated the Prince or to "Golden Fleece," or to Charles Mansfeld, or to that younger wild boar of Ardennes, Robert de la Marck.
Tell Ned Rackham you have the fellow amongst 'em who implored the safe conduct. Pick out some harmless lad that was saucy to Rackham in the Revenge, a half-wit like that Robinson younker that was the sailing-master's own cabin boy. He was allus blubberin' that Rackham 'ud kill him some day." "No half-wit about you," admiringly quoth the carpenter's mate.

"Hank, it seems to me we are throwing away time," said the youth, a trifle impatiently. "I'm not so sure of that, younker. I've news fur you." The guide had a good memory, and he repeated, almost word for word, all that had been said by Tozer and himself. Jack was astounded.
He had eaten his evening meal before going thither, leaving his young friends to provide for their own wants. "Where's the younker?" was his question, before Jack halted. "O Hank! I do not know what has happened; I fear we shall never see Fred again!" And, unable to restrain his grief that had been pent up so long, Jack broke down and sobbed like a child.
His first impulse was to run below, and get out of sight of the men who had done so foul a deed; but reflecting that they might, in their passion, toss him into the sea also if he were to show his horror, he restrained himself, and stood calmly at his post. "Come, out o' the way, younker," cried Job, seizing the helm. Tommy shrank from the man, as if he feared the contamination of his touch.
He was greatly excited, could devise nothing and would do anything, always followed Devilsdust in council, but when he executed their joint decrees and showed himself about the town, he strutted like a peacock, swore at the men and winked at the girls, and was the idol and admiration of every gaping or huzzaing younker.
