Then, with a mercilessly accurate imitation of his voice and face, she added: 'A missus at Undern! Never will I! He quailed under her mocking amber eyes, her impish laughter. Then, looking from side to side with suppressed fury, he said: 'Them birds is after the cherries! I'll get a gun. I'll shoot 'em dead!
The child's impish words had struck the scales from Jude's eyes, and the blinding light made him shrink and suffer. "Him and her," the boy had whispered, hugging his bruised and dirty knees as he squatted by Jude's door; "him and her is sparking some." Then he laughed the freakish laugh of mischief.
I felt something a minute ago, just punching and kicking at my face, and I thought perhaps it was an ordinary leaf but of course it couldn't have been." "It were my brownie," the blue eyes wrinkled up at the end of an impish grin. "Did it kick hard?" "I should say it did. Look," Phyllis took her hand away from her eye. It was quite red, for a bit of dust had inflamed it.
"Oh, we could do the work all right if there wasn't danger of our infringing the patent of the telephone company," was Laurie's impish reply. "If we should get into a lawsuit there would be no end of trouble, you know. I guess we'd much better have the thing installed in the regular way." "I guess so too!" came from his father. "You'll really have it put in, Dad?" cried Laurie. "Sure!"
Now half in earnest, and half with an impish desire for dialectical scores, he printed a pamphlet on 'The Necessity of Atheism', a single foolscap sheet concisely proving that no reason for the existence of God can be valid, and sent it to various personages, including bishops, asking for a refutation. It fell into the hands of the college authorities.

'And she has has a right to do as she likes, I hope, Quilp, said the old lady trembling, partly with anger and partly with a secret fear of her impish son-in-law. 'Hope she has! he replied. 'Oh! Don't you know she has? Don't you know she has, Mrs Jiniwin? 'I know she ought to have, Quilp, and would have, if she was of my way of thinking.
Is that shocking impish urchin whom we used to call Riquet with the tuft, older than he?" "Certainly he is. He writes from time to time to my mother, and seems to be doing well with his uncle." "I cannot believe he would come to good. Do you remember his sending my brother and cousin adrift in the boat?" "I think that was in great part the fault of your cousin for mocking and tormenting him."
Truth is, he had chosen this night because they would be safest from pursuit, because no sensible seafaring man, were he King's officer or another, would venture forth upon the impish Channel, save to court disaster. Pirate, and soldier in priest's garb, had frankly taken the chances.
To Westlake, the unwritten No was conveyed in a series of kindly ironic subterfuges, that, played it like an impish flea across the pages, just giving the bloom of the word; and rich smiles come to Emma's life in reading the dexterous composition: which, however, proved so thoroughly to Westlake's taste, that a second and a third exercise in the comedy of the negative had to be despatched to him from Copsley.
