Today, I found myself torn between dandiprat (n.s., a little fellow; an urchin: a word used sometimes in fondness and sometimes in contempt) and disrelish. However, at risk of over-alliterating, I shall choose the former:
Intense emotion wracked the bosom of little Charelzefride as he surveyed the tiny figure, high up, in the rigging of his father's ship. "O, that little dandiprat ," an officer said as he passed, evidently inclined to pay no attention to the lithe, monkeylike boy in the rigging. But Charlelzefride stood motionless as he contemplated the sight: his old enemy, alive and upon the same ship. The dandiprat's features twisted in mocking recognition; his lips formed the words:
"Tell no one about the map." Charlezefride nodded.
Less levity, more information should arrive by next post.
